Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (6 March 2006)

Unfortunately I found myself quite disappointed by this film. While the anticipation and build-up to the confrontation with the creatures in the cave was quite nail-biting, as with a lot of films, once you've actually seen them they really aren't frightening at all and the film lost all edge for me. I felt that a lot more could have been made of the groups dynamics, perhaps focusing on the paranoia and mistrust of each other that you would expect in such a circumstance would have added more suspense once the 'nasties' had been unveiled to us. Marshall should have spent less time dragging out the girls get together and entrance to the cave, and concentrated more on their dynamics once things start to go wrong. This isn't a bad film by any standards, just a disappointing one after Dog Soldiers.
