One hell of a scary groundbreaking film

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2008)

It's about time that character and atmosphere take over for blatant violence and cheap thrills in cinema today. After seeing such films as Hostel, The Hills have Eyes etc, do there business in the gore hound category and such boring non-scary films as The Amityville Horror or The Grudge, it's really great to be scared for once by something original.
I see this film as my favourite horror movie because i cannot watch it in the dark without being scared shitless, i watch it with others and it still scares me, so much fun to finally be scared.
The idea with this film is that before the creatures appear, before anything really violent happens the film is still scary, showing a group of spelunking girls trapped in a cave, the atmosphere is horrifying and pure dread works on so many levels.
This is one hell of a scary film, with a perfect ending, a more realistic approach as opposed to all these shithouse remake films of today.
See The Descent if you love getting scared, This is like Aliens on speed.
