I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I watched this film many years ago. It totally rocked when it finally started moving. One must consider this was a 2005 film, cast with all women cave explorers. How unique and sexy was that? I absolutely hated the woman that lied and got them trapped in the first place, Juno. I wanted to kill her myself, which means the writers did their job by making me emotionally invested (good or bad) in their character. Not to mention, she was was fine!!!! I absolutely love brunettes.The whole cave dwelling creatures plot caught my attention as I am a city-rat from birth. I have never been in a cave. After watching this film, I never wanted to. What often gets overlooked are the actors who play the creatures. They did a phenomenal job and brought a lot to the suspenseful scenes.Although this film isn't epic. It was a cool change of horror. I don't know how they filmed some of the scenes but they had me convinced they were deep inside a maze riddled cave. Of course as a horror flick, the blood and gore is on par with the bloodiest goriest flicks you a can imagine. Its horror. What do viewers expect? One scene involving basically a swimming pool of blood and muck, took gross to new levels.I gave this movie an extra point for the setting.

The entire tone of this film is completely off!It begins as a very promising and enticing horror movie. I was becoming excited and invested in the premise and characters (how silly of me). However, if you're anything like me, you will despise this movie by the ending.First off, Juno is wrongfully blamed for the "murder" of one of the other members of their party, that being Beth. This accusation is complete and utter bull****! Sure Juno kills Beth, however Beth should NOT have come up behind Juno so abruptly, as Juno was obviously in the midst of defending herself against the crawlers. And Beth KNOWS its was an accident, yet she plays it off as if Juno did this on purpose later on when Sarah finds Beth dying.And so it's after this point that the entire film demonizes Juno because she slept with Sarah's husband. Surely Juno is in the wrong here yes, however Sarah proves herself to be a completely irredeemable piece of garbage, as she not only uses Juno to fight off the crawlers at the end, but she quite literally stabs Juno in the back (or leg rather) and leaves Juno for dead! NOT a proportionate response. Oh, and Juno refuses to leave without Sarah, a sentiment which Sarah obviously does not reciprocate.The film ends as if to make Sarah out to be the good guy, but this entire tone is off, as Sarah is clearly in the wrong here. She doesn't even give Juno a point to speak her case. An absolutely frustrating and disappointing flick.

We're all afraid of what lives deep in the oceans, we're all afraid of what may live out in space, but you really have to respect this film in exploiting the fears of what may live deep in the earths crust. The movie is really scientifically accurate (if you're not a nerd like me though, that probably doesn't matter). I love the design of the monsters, they're like some kind of bat-human hybrid. The movie has plenty of suspense, infuriating moments and character situations, and monster creature screen time, which is what people like me want the most. Definitely recommend!
