Schizophrenic plot

Rating: 2/10 (3 August 2006)

On the upside, I did think the actresses did a fine job of it and were well cast. I could tell pretty early on that this wasn't going to be a happy chick flick, but I was OK with that. What I found really irritating was that for half the movie it made sense: friends and fellow spelunkers carry out plan of indulging in favorite sport, while comforting bereaved friend; very economical of them. Then instead of following the established plot line, right about in the middle of the film, it turns 180 degrees in believability and becomes a monster movie. The monsters were scary, I'm not arguing they weren't, but I thought the introduction of hungry night vision monsters unnecessary. Seeing whether the women could make it out alive after some crucial mistakes made by some of them was suspenseful enough; throwing ravenous monsters into the mix seem ridiculous.
