Just one of those 'OK' movies

Rating: 5/10 (2 September 2006)

This movie... I thought was just OK, it made me laugh. GRANTED I am a very morbid person to begin with, but I just did not find this movie frightening. Although it was well acted, it had depth to the plot, and the characters weren't just silly girls running around and freaking out like in other movies I've seen. When they've got the camera on night vision and look around and see that thing standing right there, my first thought was to ask my friend if he thought it looked stoned too. Just the way it was standing and the expression of the actor, it looked funny. I found the plot entertaining, you know the tragic event early in the movie with Sarah's family, but after finding out about Juno's affair with the husband I couldn't help but wonder if that was why Juno changed the subject when relationships came up. This movie was almost reminiscent of The Cave of last summer to me, except there were no men and the victims couldn't be turned INTO crawlers. And of course the final ending shock in THIS movie involved something sneaking up on Sarah in the car, I thought it was going to be one of the crawlers. At times the movie to both myself and my friend was all too predictable, though. Whenever something jumped down from above them I always though that the ceiling would've been the first place I'd check. I personally would've packed a shot gun because you never really know what kinds of rabid animals have found their way into a cave. But all in all, OK movie.
