Do not rent - Dire

Rating: 1/10 (19 November 2005)

This movie is simply dire. It's predictable, clichéd, tripe.
The casting is weak (at least two feigned British accents); and the plot has so many holes it borders on the ridiculous.
The director treats us to a glaringly-obvious and wholly unoriginal scene-setting at the outset... which is rehashed throughout as "flash back". If this is intended to highlight a common emotional bond between (some) of the characters, it fails drastically. The subterranean creatures fail to scare in the *least*. He employs predictable scare tactics ad nauseum: sudden cuts to violent flights of noisy birds and bats.
Do not rent. This is directorial detritus.
