Chicks with Picks

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2008)

A group of cavers/adventurers reunite after the tragic death of one of there numbers husband and daughter. The groups unofficial leader, Juno picks a route for them but fails to tell anyone that it is a uncharted system.
Things take a sinister turn when after accidents, broken bones and all manor of mishaps the group encounter a species of blind, albino, flesh eating monsters (that admittedly do resemble a hardcore version of Gollum) There are a few good scares and the effects are really quite good. Story line and plot tick along nicely and the cast do a sterling job making you connect with there characters.
It's hardly silence of the lambs but it is a good by-the-numbers picked of one by one horror/monster show.
What I liked about this film, well there's a lot, but the main points are the cast are not all 'teenagers' (or 25-30 year old starlets bototoxed up the ying-yang) .
In short it's the way Brit horror films should be lets hope they don't louse up the sequel
