Another "Read the book instead" movie
I normally don't write bad reviews of movies, especially horror, but after seeing how many stars this movie was getting I have to stand up and say "Huh?!"If you read the book by Jeff Long you'll be ashamed to have seen this movie and thought it was any good. Perhaps reading the book first is why I was so disappointed with this movie. The two have almost no connection except for the "monsters", and the idea of being underground. The movie had very few "suspenseful" scenes and had to rely on shock value most of the time.It did, however, create a strong atmosphere of being secluded and closed in, better than any underground movie I've ever seen. I literally began to feel the claustrophobia come over me from watching some of the scenes, but that was the only reason to give this movie any stars.It has gore for gore, the plot is not well thought out, the acting is only so-so, and it has a typical female heroine. The ending also leaves alot to be desired.In conclusion, read the book and see how great this movie should have been!
