great B-movie horror

Rating: 7/10 (7 October 2014)

Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) loses her husband and daughter in a car crash. One year later, gung ho Juno (Natalie Mendoza) leads the group of female friends to go spelunking in uncharted caves in Chatooga National Park in the Appalachian Mountains. A recovering Sarah is dragged along with Beth (Alex Reid), Rebecca (Saskia Mulder), Sam (MyAnna Buring) and Holly (Nora-Jane No one). Little did they know that there are underground humanoid killers in them caves.
The underground work is claustrophobic. The action is clear enough while having great shadows to heighten the unseen. The cannibals look great especially with the movie giving only glimpses at first. This is a great B action horror. There is good gore and good scares to be had. The movie works great once the girls move underground. At that point, the girls don't really have to be distinctive to be good. That is one of the minor problems of the movie. The girls are not unique enough. The movie should have started with the two most important personalities Sarah and Juno. Those two needed better actresses to play them especially Sarah. She has a greater range of emotions to travel. The good news is after the first twenty minutes, none of that really matters. This is simply a scary movie.
