One of the best horror films in recent years

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2007)

I would admit that I'm a big fan of horror films and this one is certainly a surprising piece of work, which makes you feel tense as much as Saw does.
After one year since the deaths of Sarah's husband and daughter, Sarah's friends invite her to have a cave adventure to help her get through the tragedy. However, Juno, who's responsible for leading the way, brings them to a not-yet-named cave. During the exploration the tunnel collapses so they can't get back to their way in. When they get deeper to the cave, they understand that some people have been to the save long time ago but never managed to get out and some kind of unknown creatures are inside the cave...
The whole film is so thrilling and addictive as you are like the group that you don't know what's ahead. A lot of incidents also make you feel worried for them. This is better than those so-called horror films that only try to frighten you by the sudden appearance of someone/thing.
The unknown creatures also surprised me as when the film goes I thought those might be something like those in The Cave that makes the film so terrible. They make more sense to me as their existence is rather possible (though I don't think it's possible for the women to beat them that easily).
I like the first part more as it's more adventurous. The second part, especially after Sarah finds Beth, is too bloody and there's a pond of blood all of a sudden. It's just not necessary.
Of course this is another film describing the weaknesses of human beings. What you'll see are betrayal, hiding, cheating, selfishness and revenge. I would say they are quite true and happen in daily life.
I would strongly recommend this film to any film lovers, especially horror film ones as this is much better than those bad mainstream horror films. The story surely makes up for the wrongly-put bloody scenes so just go for it and you'll find it's worth it.
