It's safe play with old formulas

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2007)

This is a better version of The Cave. We have an outdoor adventure group going to explore a cave, the way back is blocked and finally they meet a group of monsters who lives in the dark and are hungry for human meat. Also there's a villain in the group who are responsible for all the wrong turns, a cool and uncommon one to break a leg and be the first one to die and a beholder to be killed by the b*tch.
But the differences here that makes this movie a great one is: 1st) it's European; 2) It's all about the direction, that's why the movie is quite effective; 3) All the actresses are great.
Those are the 3 reasons to waste a good time watching this movie and that's enough.
Of course that even being European the movie is filled with Hollywood clichés because it's safe play with old formulas than try new ones, but just a small part of the audience should be troubled with that.
