Not for the claustrophobic

Rating: 5/10 (6 August 2005)

From the maker of Dog Soldiers this film shares a lot of the same characteristics.
A group of twenty something women like to live life on the edge. Following from a tragedy after a previous outing they embark on a pot holing expedition. Instead of visiting an easy cave they embark on a trip to an uncharted cave that conveniently has a track to the entrance.
For me the film is at its best in the first half that really recreates the (few) joys and (many) pains of pot holing. I tried it several years ago and found it a thoroughly horrible experience. I was therefore squirming at several of the early scenes. Once the cave reveals a few unexpected creatures the film moves into normal territory as the women desperately try to find the open air.
If you like your horror films to have lots of blood you'll love this one. It's never dull and well worth a viewing if you ever think about going pot holing.
