It starts slowly but goes down very quickly :hihi:

Sorry, couldn't resist. I've no idea I'm afraid - it looks a touch too scary for sensitive cowardly souls such as myself.

I didn't find it scary.
I suppose it's jumpy in parts where things come out of no where but not scary (IMO).

It IS however very clostrophobic as it deals with pot holing and really small/narrow tunnels with people being stuck (saying no more).

All in all I'd say 7 out of 10. :D

First hour is ace...last hour is garbage! Overall, sub average shlock from a director who should know better!

Yeah ... really jumpy and scarey for the first 3/4 hour ... you soon get used to 'them' and then it's just funny ... I couldn't stop laffing.

Worth seeing though !!

hehehe

I'm watching this right now and I have to tell you. It's scary as hell!
I keep having to look away.

pooh.

better than Dog Soldiers but still pooh.

4 jumps. all telegraphed badly (ok the jump wasn't what you'd expect but you knew it was there)

it was ok'ish with all the claustrophobic cave stuff but then it got plain silly. Someone enjoyed Lord of the Rings I see :suspect:

I can't stand horror that is unfreasible

I don't know then. I suppose I just got really into it because I was watching it on my own on a cold and dark November day.

Still, I defy anybody to try to watch the whole bit about the compact fracture, ~where they push the bone back in:( ~ without wincing or having to look away!

Yuck.

I think this is a great little 'no-brain' horror flick. It delivers real jumps and is not just a tired re-hash of other films.


spoilers!!!!!!!




The bleak ending is much better than the usual hollywood film ending and I love the fist glimpse you get of the 'things' from the POV of the video camera.
