Surprisingly very good.

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2007)

I didn't see this movie in theaters because I didn't think it was going to be very special. Much to my surprise it was my favorite horror movie of the year. It is not like "The Cave" like many people relate it to. The acting was quite good, the scares were perfectly placed, and the movie actually scared you. The lack of male characters didn't hurt the movie, it helped it. The movie is about 6 girlfriends who decide to explore some cave, After the opening scene the movie slows down, and if you can get by that until the women are actually in the cave and the creepiness begins, you'll be in for a non-stop thrill ride. The director wisely did not include the usual T&A that comes with these types of films. Instead focusing on scaring the audience with the real terrifying aspects of claustrophobia and helplessness. The Gore is absolutely sickening and actually is so not over the top its believable. This is definitely not for the squeamish. I really enjoyed it and if you're a movie viewer who likes a good scary gore fest that isn't cheesy, I would highly recommend this British import.
