Brilliant start, awful from middle to end. :/

I think the crawlers(cave monsters) spoiled to whole movie for me, after the first one it was Bad b-screamer all the way to finish. The cave trolls looked sh*t BTW, their teeth for one, looked like they belonged to a talk show guy. And in the fight screens they were slow and clumsy, the perfect evolved cave trolls? yeah right..
It would have been much more scarier and exciting to watch them trying to get out of the cave. Just seeing them climbing through the tight holes made my skin crawl. They had not many batteries left, they were starting to panic - one can understand that :). If the movie ending with 1-3 people getting out alive in the end after many passages, rough holes, under watering swimming and that sort of challenges, I would have liked it.
Like the movie 'Mean Creek', about a couple a teenagers and a dark secret. Everything in it seems realistic and could have been a true story, and it was very shocking and spooky without any cave troll and action filled fighting screens.
Or they could had made the 'crawler' taking the girls one by one while they were struggling to get out, like drag 'em down holes, make the others believe that they were lost. but WITHOUT showing itself. Just a few horrible, ice-freezing screams and footstep sound around them, that would drive them mad. And in the end, only Sarah and Juno getting out, and then some nice ending and you never really SEE the monster, that would drive the audience mad with curiosity, of course you would be left with a lot of unsolved questions, and thats makes people talk about it and getting their own fantasy image about how it looked.
thats my opinion.
