A rather enjoyable chiller!

Rating: 7/10 (7 February 2010)

Fresh off the heels of his first Feature (Dog Soldiers). Horror enthusiast Neil Marshall shines with his claustrophobic nightmare. The British Film maker brings out the big guns for his second outing in the Directors chair. We follow a group of "adrenaline junkies" cave diving in America (how fun) – but don't be put off just yet. Everything takes a turn for the worse- when they quickly find out they are not alone in the dark. At centre stage is the recently widowed Sarah (MacDonald) who is haunted by the loss of her family. A women obsessed by her daughter's tragic demise.
Once it kicks in, anything outside the cave can be forgiven. Anything inside won't be forgotten any time soon. The horror it top notch, up there with the likes of "28 days later". But nothing is taken lightly. There are no mindless jump points, everything has a reason. The cast are forgettable but the cinematography and direction is masterful in this rather enjoyable chiller.
