Really captures the feeling of claustrophobia
The best and scariest scene in this movie is midway through when the lead character gets stuck in one of the cave's tunnels. Her acting here is very good. I felt just like she did...like she was running out of air and was going to die there. The director successfully captured the panicky feeling of claustrophobic.The story is interesting (it deals with both betrayal and big egos) and really didn't need any cave creatures, IMO. However, the cave creatures will appease those who crave gore (when these creatures attack, they attack ferociously) and for those who crave fast-paced action (when these creatures attack, they attack quickly and move fast).I like that these are strong women fighting in this movie. When the creatures attack, these women fight back hard.What I didn't like about this movie was both the beginning and the ending.Although the very first scene is shocking, after that scene, it takes a long time before anything interesting happens. And there's no feeling of completion at the end. The ending is really up to you, I guess.Another problem was that because the cave is dark, it's hard to tell who is who...especially since two of the characters have straight blonde hair.But other than that, a very entertaining and scary movie.
