Fright-wise, The Cave is a dry hole.
Top CriticSpare and single-minded, The Cave is an insistently entertaining piece of pulp.
The Cave isn't just a bad movie, it's a very, very, very bad movie, so bad that it can't even redeem itself by turning into high camp.
Feels stunningly familiar as it goes through the rote edicts of the scientific crew vs. toothy beastie formula.
Somewhere deep beneath the Carpathian mountains, something unholy stirs: It's an unspeakable stinker of a movie called The Cave.
The Cave is a decently crafted but unoriginal and uninspiring creature feature with a few moments of true entertainment that the rest of the film never matches up to.
Replete with winged undersea cave monsters, unlikely mountain climbing heroics and a mutating microbe that turns its victims into creatures-in-waiting "The Cave" is a paint-by-numbers thriller lacking in pigment.
Hectic slasher movie about monsters. Too scary for little ones.
About what you'd expect from a low budget, B-movie destined to reside among the direct-to-video releases at Blockbuster and the Saturday night features on the Sci-Fi Channel.
O roteiro é ridículo, mas o filme consegue criar algumas seqüências tensas. Ainda assim, empalidece frente ao ótimo (e similar) The Descent.
A completely anonymous and forgettable PG-13 creature feature.
Somewhere in The Cave lies a good film. Maybe one day the good folks at Sony Pictures will dive deep into the all too obviously cut footage and restore it for us.
...a dull, thoroughly unpleasant horror flick...
The Cave has zero sex appeal but may turn you on to cave diving.
...despite its shortcomings, The Cave does deliver on some of its promises.
