When my husband brought this home, I thought to myself "Oh, great, another stupid people get lost and killed bloodfest with no real plot-way to go, hon!" But, I was very surprised at how creepy this movie was-I jumped quite a few times. I find most of the new horror movies just gore and gross, but this one was certainly more. And I did not even have to feel sorry for the characters, because if they were crazy enough to go down in those caves for FUN, then they deserved what they got! My worst nightmare!!! Watch with the lights out, for sure!

The movie was pretty good. Had me jumping a good amount of times. I saw the unrated version.. and it was a bit too gory. But pretty good movie eventho I would enter no cave for fun. LOL

This is the kind of movie that a thinking person enjoys. It's not 'Saw', and that's definitely a good thing.

There was a lot of blood in this movie - too much! It was a good movie but the ending was really bad. I dont quite understand why it seemed the movie was centered around the woman who had the tradegy. What was the tie-in to the story? Anyway, I would recommend it to anyone who loves blood and gore.

DVR'd this movie because it sounded interesting. I like cave/sci-fi/adventure movies. Did not recall this title or anything about it. My wife and I watched it and it was really good. Very intense and kept our attention the entire time. Great caving scenes! A little too bloody at times. This and "The Cave" are similar type movies but "The Cave" was crap. Give this one a shot........

A mixture of some impressive ingenuity and blatant stupidity on the part of the protagonists. And admittedly it was scarier BEFORE the creatures appeared... Pity it had to take place in such a nice ...

Could have been a good movie; the storyline was there, but unfortunately it turned out to be the cheap too dark, too hard to follow never completed bucket of blood. The ending made no sense.

Typical stupid "horror" movie. When is Hollywood going to learn that special effects do not necessarily equal horror? This movie is so bad it's hard to believe.
