Whatta piece of junk - avoid this one !!, July 24, 2006
DON'T see this movie. It is, by far the worst piece of junk I have ever viewed. It starts off fair and goes down hill from there. The photography is awful and it is very hard to to even see what goes on, especially with their new "hypershake" technique which ruins many of the shots. They use fog in many shots which obsures what is happening. Then there is the ever-present dust being raised in every shot which further obscures what is happening and also the headlights which shine into the camera ALL THE TIME. I got a headache from trying to watch through it.
Who ever did the photography knew nothing of shadow detail. The shadows had NO DETAIL, but rather turned purple so you either saw things with light on them or purple.
While the story is a little plausible, many things that happen are not. Take the movement of a massive boulder by the guy that appears at the end. Then there is the scene in the water where the attacker is shot and is lying in the water, only to raise up and stab one of the folks, then proceeds merrily on his way.
And then there is the ending which makes no sense whatsoever and we as viewers are given 15 seconds to put it all together based on about three scenes.
This one was evidently a movie with a less-than-zero budget and should be avoided at all costs. I am tempted to ask for my money back.

Complete Garbage-They should pay me for wasting my time, August 1, 2006
This has got to be the worst movie I have ever seen in my whole life and I have seen thousands of movies. If you flipped the DVD over in your player and watched the Non DVD side you will get more entertainment out of it. Whoever directed this movie and produced it should never be allowed in a movie studio again. The movie starts out as a group of people who enter a cave to explore it. It is filmed with the now famous "Blair Witch" shaking camera effect throughout the movie. The cave explorers are taken out one by one from what appears to be a creature that is stalking them. THey end up baiting a trap where the creature must have been shot about 50 times but doesn't die. At the end of the movie the creature turns out to be a human being in a loin cloth with a animal skull head used as a helmet. Explain to me how someone could have been shot that many times at close range and not die when the only protection they have is a loin cloth. I would rate it as a -5 stars if we were allowed to rate in to the negative.

The only horror here is that the movie got produced, July 23, 2006
If you like a terrible script, bad acting, cliches galore and the worst cinematography ever, then this is the movie for you.
This movie is dimly lit and the camera goes upside down and sideways for no reason throughout. The ending is perhaps one of the worst I have ever seen unless of course you enjoy a gratuitous and completely unnecessary rape scene to wrap up your crappy film.
If you're dumb enough to view this film, make sure you watch the special "making of" footage. It's better than the film. You get to see an actual car on fire and everything.
They explain to you how they ruined the movie by using fog in every shot and inventing a new and irritating camera technique called "hypershake" - it will make you not want to watch any further, especially in the scene where one idiot is drilling into a wall with a normal size power drill and they use "hypershake" to make the whole room quiver for two minutes.
The making of section also covers the director's daughter building a foam cave and repeatedly tells you what sort of HD cameras were used to produce this masterpiece. They managed to use an irritating effect in the making of mini-film too - they use a technique called hyperfastforward to cut from scene to scene.
Avoid this flick. Watch your plants grow instead. I already suffered through it on your behalf.
