Horror Masterpiece **** out of ****

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2006)

This film is one of the most refreshing horror films I have seen in a long time. The film which is directed by Neil Marshall who follows up his werewolf film "Dog Soldiers" with a horror masterpiece. This is an instant classic. The film is brilliant from opening frame to closing credits. Everything about this claustrophobic masterpiece works well. The direction and cinematography are amazing. The setting of the cavern as a backdrop is perfect. The film is the best horror film of the last 15 years and one of the top twenty horror films in film history. Neil Marshall has a bright future in this genre. I am greatly anticipating his follow up to this gem of a horror film.
