A
family returns from a river raft ride and
then a tragic car accident occurs leaving
one survivor named Sarah (Shawna
MacDonald).
A year passes and Sarah as well as a
group of her friends go up to the woods
in a cabin. Sarah still has nightmares
about the tragic accident but the next
day they decide to hike to a mountain
cave to explore different things there
led by Juno.
Suddenly they are caved in and try to
find a way out. It's suddenly very quiet
and they discover other stuff in they
cave as they realise someone else was
once there.
One of their friends named Holly
(Nora-Jane Noone) falls into a hole and
severely damages her leg.
They discover skeletal bones in the cave
as well and then are attacked by these
predatory flesh eating cave crawler that
can only sense their surroundings by
sound.
They suddenly eat and kill each of
Sarah's friends causing the rest to
separate as they battle these crawlers
while finding a path to escape and then
Sarah realises Juno has had a dark secret
about her and her late husband as well
causing their friendship to turn sour.
A very well done
film which wasn't a surprise that it had
a huge success in film festivals over a
year before receiving a theatrical
release.
When you first wat ch the film you think
to yourself there's going to be a
terrifying surprise later on and there is
but once the terrifying events happen it
doesn't seem to go anywhere after that
sadly.
Still it's quite scary and worth a try
watching it.
The makers put alot of money into this
and deserve a pat on the back regardless.
The acting is
great. Shawna MacDonald is
excellent playing the grieving family
woman who finds out she was the only one
who survived her deadly car wreck and
then showing her fears in the cave. She
deserves a gold star.
I also loved Natalie Jackson Mendoza
when she battles these creatures showing
them no mercy and she is another natural
character actress.
I thoroughly enjoyed Alex Reid's
character as the caring Beth, especially
when she tries to calm Shawna's character
down when she is trapped in a cave and
encouraging her to overcome her fear.
Everyone in this film performed very
professionally well.
A metal pipe is
stabbed through a mans head.
A womans leg is severed showing her
bones.
There are rotting corpses and a big pool
of blood.
Creatures are tearing the flesh off of
people.
Yup lots of gore in this one.
Neil Marshall gets
a two thumbs up with his work in this.
He brings the terror in this film come to
real life and shows alot of shocks and
surprises when you least expect it
guarateeing you to jump out of your seat.
He was great at making the cave sequences
look real and suspenseful making you
imagine that you are in the film with
these people.
He directs the actors and whips them into
shape terrifically too.
His most perfection with his work was you
think the cave is safe and quite but
suddenly it isn't at all. Way to go Neil!!!!
David Julyin is
terrific with his music bring it a real
punch to the screen as the music really
makes a movie regardless.
Holly:
[Sarah has just been scared by a bunch
of bats which attacked her. Holly films
the bats flying away]
[in imitation of 'The Count' from
Sesame Street]
Holly: One bat, two bats, fifty
bats!
[Beth comes up to her]
Beth: Holly... Fuck off
Sam:
Trying to set this watch is impossible,
the buttons are to fucking small.
Holly: Why do you wear that thing
anyway ?
Sam: My boyfriend gave it to me,
it's sentimental.
Holly: It's fucking mental, any
guy who'd give that to me i'd dump him on
the spot.
Juno:
Sam's gonna be doctor Van Ney in like a
year's time.
Beth: please tell me it's longer
than that.
Beth:
[Sarah is trapped in a tunnel and Beth
is trying to calm her down with a joke]
Hey, you love this one, "How do you
give a lemon an orgasm?" You tickle
its citrus!
Holly:
Hey, there's something down here...
Juno:
[while fighting a crawler] Fucker!
Beth:
I'm an English teacher, not fucking Tomb
Raider.
Sarah:
What about you Holly, got a man ?
Holly: Oh I'm a sports fuck like
Juno.
Rebecca:
The noise she's making, she'll bring
every one of those things down on her
head.
Sam: As long as it's not on mine.
[Terrified,
looking at Sarah who's covered in blood]
Juno: What happened to you?
