I saw this with about five other people in the theater. I stayed until the bitter end and I mean bitter. As for the others, 2 walked out half way through. Just another moronic flick for people who had lobotomies. Avoid.

This was bad. VERY bad. I was so bored I ended up playing Tetris on my cell phone through half of the film. Lazy, unimaginative filmmaking. At least there were a few unintentional laughs.

Brutal.. if you want a scary spelunking movie, watch The Descent.. it's a british indie, actually scary, if not terrifying. Good acting, awesome camera work.. and claustrophobia really sets in... that's all you need to know.

It has been a long time since I have seen such a terrible movie. I left the theater feeling like I had been mugged and ten bucks was just ripped from my pocket.

This film is so bad that not even a mother could like it. Amateur production in every sense.

Not one original bone in its body. Cheezy and inexplicable "let's wrap this up and go home " scene at the end. Cheap shot at a sequal in last scene. Downright awful flick.

Horrid, just horrid. The Cave attempts to rip-off alien at every turn and can not even succeed in doing that. Cole Hauser is simply not a very talented actor. The plot is awful at best and the action is static. This makes movies like Alien Horrid, just horrid. The Cave attempts to rip-off alien at every turn and can not even succeed in doing that. Cole Hauser is simply not a very talented actor. The plot is awful at best and the action is static. This makes movies like Alien vs. Predator look like The Godfather.… Expand

What’s with the jackasses giving this debacle a good score, then leaving nothing but shapes and symbols for the review? Humans are **** dumb. Here’s a 0 to average out the stupidity

Pretty mediocre movie. Very similar concept to the movie 'The Descent' which released the same year, but is worse in almost every way compared to that film. Some of the monster attack scenes are so poorly filmed and edited it's hard to tellPretty mediocre movie. Very similar concept to the movie 'The Descent' which released the same year, but is worse in almost every way compared to that film. Some of the monster attack scenes are so poorly filmed and edited it's hard to tell what is even happening. Lots of "shakey cam". The dialogue and characters are all pretty poorly written as well. I don't think it would be possible to find a more confrontational and ego tripping group of individuals to go on a spelunking expedition with. To it's credit it has some pretty decent actors in it, including Cole Hauser, Morris Chestnut, Daniel Dae Kim, and a pre-300 / pre-GOT Lena Headey. Despite it's flaws, which are plentiful, it was mildly entertaining at points. Some parts are so bad that they are actually kind of funny, so you'll get enjoyment in that respect as well. I guess watch it if you are still looking to fill that spelunking monster horror hole that 'The Descent' left in your life, if not probably skip it.… Expand
