Prepare to descend into the very depths of fear.

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 2007)

I enjoyed this movie about six gals mainly from England going caving. The movie was fast paced once they got to the caves and did not let up until the finish. The story has a woman who the previous year lost both a husband and daughter to a very gruesome car accident. She was apparently an extreme sports junkie, but for the past year has been in mourning for the loss of her loved ones. Now, however, she reunites with some old friends and they are going caving, girls only. They are supposed to go to a rather simple cave to explore with no real danger or thrills, however one of the members of the group has decided instead to take them to a cave she discovered...and what the girls discover there is sheer terror. This movie was very effective, even before there are any kind of creatures introduced the movie was tense. There is a great scene involving being stuck in a tight place, a really dangers climbing the wall scene and a scene involving a broken leg. I mean the poor girls have virtually no shot at survival at this point then if all this is not bad enough there is something lurking in the caves and it likes to feast on flesh. So there ya go, finally a horror movie that does seemingly indeed put our cast in a virtually inescapable situation with no apparent way out. It is not all good though, I did not care for some of the character's behavior towards the end as I would hope one would rather lean on someone for support. Instead there is a rather shocking scene that to me seems petty. Wait and try to get out then settle differences. Still this horror movie was really good and tense.
