MORONS!..... YOUR BUS IS LEAVING..................
****NEW ADDED INFORMATION*** I have found out some new information about this film that could change my rating to a better one. This movie had two different endings. The version I saw on cable TV ends with one girl injuring one of her friends and then leaving her in the cave to be eaten alive while she escapes. When she gets to her car to leave she sees the friend in her car sitting next to her(like a haunting memory of what she did to her) I did not like this ending at all as it has been done a ba-zillion times before. I would like to know the other ending if anyone would care to explain. END OF ADDED INFO****The biggest problem with this film is lack of true character development. Having a woman lose her family in a car accident does not create a 3 dimensional character. Typical sub-plot about one friend fooling around with another's husband...blah..blah..blah. From the time this movie begins until they reach the cave is an excruciating example of bad character development. I didn't care about any of these people and when you don't care about the characters, the movie is in trouble.On the plus side, this movie has some creepy moments and it is extremely claustrophobic, but it's has some of the stupidest situations I've seen in any film. Do people actually do these crazy things? Why anyone would want to crawl into a small dark hole the size of a basketball in the middle of nowhere is beyond me! Once these characters put themselves into this predicament, I just couldn't wait for them to die! The creatures are very creepy and when they are on screen, it's quite tense, but it's too easy to make the audience jump in this dark setting, so I can't award too many points for those types of scares. Stupid people go to stupid place and die horrible deaths! I give it 2 1/2 stars. This film could have earned a 4 star rating with a few small changes. It's not unwatch-able, but it not all that good...unless you like pretending your buried alive!
