1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Amber!, January 5, 2006

I not sure what to say about this movie but dont bother. The only reason I did see it was for Amber Benson. She must have done it to fund one of her own movies. Anyways the movie it about these two couple who go to the caves of Mexico to score some pot to sale. Well the caves are haunted by really stupid ghosts. They begin to kill them off one by one they must some how escape this cursed cave. There not much here for as a story line and the gore is just to cheesy. I will give it this at least they hired actors who can act but it really was not a origanal story or one worth watching. Thats why I say poor Amber because she is great actress in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Even if your a fan of hers it does not help this film not to mention they kill her off really early in the movie. Maybe she wanted it that way.

1.0 out of 5 stars I really was looking forward to this movie but...., March 31, 2005

...to cut to the chase, it was AWFUL! I had read about it and the plot seemed promising: 4 young people travel through some haunted tunnels under the California-Mexico border to score some drugs even though two of the characters' fathers had disappeared in the caves when the kids were very young (and left waiting in a truck, in the desert, while their fathers took off into the tunnels. WHERE are the Child Protection people when you need them?). These two principle characters are Malik (Edward Furlong - "T2") and Gen (Cerina Vincent - "Cabin Fever") and along for the ride with them are Malik's girlfriend, Barbie (Amber Benson - "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and Gen's boyfriend Wes (Callard Harris). There is a lot of confusion (or there was for me) as to who is involved with who as Malik and Gen seemed more of a couple while Barbie and Wes were just "there". Anyway, there is a LOT of ridiculous running back and forth in the tunnels, the bare lightbulbs keep flickering or going out temporarily (of course!), Steve Railsback ("Helter Skelter", "Ed Gein") is there to menace the kids with an oversize pick-ax, the kids make their drug connection which goes gruesomely wrong and there is the little problem with the changing head count of just exactly how many people are running away from these ghosts or "Intermedios" (Spanish for "in between") who seem to be controlled by Steve Railsback's character, the Old Man. This is SO obviously a low-budget movie that it's laughable. Some of the sets moved when they should have been "solid rock", I expected more, acting-wise, from Furlong, Vincent and Benson, the ghosts just look like somebody's weird idea of an x-ray, the dialogue was just dreadful and don't even get me started on the Old Man's "amulet". I hate trashing low-budget horror movies as there are so many GOOD ones out there and nearly all of them are made by people who really CARE about them, this one was the directorial debut for actor Andrew Lauer ("Caroline in the City") and I really had high hopes for "Intermedio" but don't bother. There are no scares, the gory scenes aren't gross and there is just no logic to any of it. BIG disappointment!!

This has got to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen! I wish that Amber had quit after she broke her foot, Cerina had passed it by and ridden on the dubious glory of "Cabin Fever" and poor, poor Ed Furlong had just stayed in rehab (from which he CLEARLY had just escaped). These folks are all lovely people and MUCH better actors than the drek they are stuck with in this film would indicate. Do yourself a favor and avoid at all costs.
