Great Horror Flick

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2006)

My girlfriend took me to this movie, as I am not a big horror movie guy. Let me tell you it was one of the best scary movies I have ever seen. What was interesting is that it was a very simple concept that was (I thought) executed to near perfection. No big stars to distract you, great locations, and fantastic camera work. The pacing was done so well, I might have thought it was edited by Chris Nolan or M. Shyamalan. There was a double element of horror in this movie as not only were the crawlers very freaky, but the descent into the cave was enough to almost unnerve me. There was truly a sense of no hope and inevitable doom through most of the movie. Aside from elements that are always lacking in scary movies (this one is no different), I thought it was a fantastic flick that most horror fans should not miss.
