don't go into the caves today

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

This could well be the scariest most shocking film you will see in a long time-be warned. Like the excellent "Deathwatch" this film takes place mostly underground and Neil Marshall uses the dark and sombre surroundings to his advantage. I think that this film works so well because it attacks you on two fronts and plays on two of mans most primal fears-the fear of being trapped in an enclosed space with no chance of escape and the fear of being stalked by the unknown. I would compare this film to the finding of a strange box that you have no fear of opening but when you do you find something totally unexpected that could possibly kill you. Another similarity with "Deathwatch" is the ending which doesn't explain itself and leaves much to the viewers interpretation. Watch this film if you get the chance but I will give you a friendly bit of advice,don't watch it alone and keep concentrating till the credits because the ending doesn't come when you think it should. Marvellous ,nailbiting and gory,I give this excellent British Horror film10/10
