Spelunking into Madness

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2006)

I'd give the film a ***1/2 out of 4. It was an excellent little ultra-violent horror pic from Britain. It followed 7 lovely young women who go spelunking into a cave that collapses. Soon they find themselves trapped in a cave feverishly searching for an exit with man-like, or Gollum-like to be more exact, creatures who have perfectly adapted themselves to their environment. The film had some immensely terrifying moments, my favorite being a scene in which they main character is trying to see all of the cave using the night vision mode on her camera and being attacked by one of the creatures. The film suffers from having such a great opening scene that it makes it hard for the rest of the film to live up to. Overall I found it to be a rather well written and gripping little horror adventure and a must see for fans of the genre.
