Goddamn excellent Horror flick!!!

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2005)

I was very much looking forward to seeing this when it came out and I was not disappointed at all. This movie really shows what one can do with a good story and atmospheric setting. The acting is top notch and they also did a brilliant job in the way they shot it. It's a far fetch from the Hollywood take that relays on special effects and "good" looking celebrities to pull the audience in. Like the directors previous effort "Dog soldiers" nature plays the main fiddle in this drama. So when humans stumble upon things they should not have during some occasional leisure time activity all hell breaks loose. The story is about a group of female friends that have decided to get together and do some real cave exploring in an uncharted cave. Along the way they get into some trouble and have to venture deeper into the caves. Problem is that the cave is already inhabited by some other creatures, and they have some habits that does not resemble those of civilized humans :-) If your slightly claustrophobic from before, this is NOT the right movie to see. The ending is brilliant as everything else and I really would put it up there along with The Shining and Exorcist as my fav. horror flicks. I also strongly recommend that you check out Switchblade Romance and Madhouse too. These are excellent and should get the attention they deserve.
