      Critics Consensus

      Despite its stylized and impressive sets, this horror-monster movie mish-mash suffers from endless cliches and wildly implausible plotlines. Read critic reviews

        The story is pretty cliche and I really don't mind that but the acting was horrible. I keep looking at the actors' faces when someone in the story dies and they just look like 'bitch is dead, well dang it' not like 'fuck fuck fuck someone's being killed by something we don't know'. It does have potential to be a good monster movie though but there's just too many flaws and I wished they'd give Piper Perabo more lines and screen time cause she's probably the most interesting character here.

        If you're into caving and diving, you might get a slight kick out of this. If you're not, then don't bother.

        An intrepid group of underground, underwater cave explorers try their hand in Romania (Dracula territory, a tip off), where they've found a new cave, under a mountain, under a church, and discover that they are in turn discovered by flesh eating monstrosities. Claustrophobic spaces, lots of uber-dark, and a music score from Psycho does not prevent science types from wandering off on their own (" hello, don't worry, I'm a doctor, highly trained, did you hear that noise, I'll go by myself to check it out w/this flashlight that don't work and no weapons even though I know something's out there killing us all off ...") one by one ... and the result is predictable movie horror cliches.

        Don't be fooled by the poster and the trailer. Uttely disappointed after watching it. So campy and predictable, don't bother.
