Story: Decades after a rock church in communist Romania's Carpathians caved when an expedition caused a landslide and buried everyone, Dr. Nicolai's scientific team exploring the associated Templar Knights monster fighting-legend discovers a deep, flooded cave system and hires the brothers Jack and Tyler's brilliant divers' team to explore it.
Likes: The Cave is such an unrated horror film, that revolving around a group of expert cave divers hired to explore the deepest darkest cave discovered under a Churches that was destroyed, only to find themselves trapped and fighting for there lives as the caves there in there not alone.
The Backdrop of the environment gives the film a more realistic tone with cave networks and underwater caravans give a very claustrophobic feel to the film, especial when the film starts to kick in and this is when the film becomes intense. The actual creature design is pretty good and frightening while the film doesn't reveal too much straight away, which gives the feeling of fear as you never know where it is among the darkness of the caves.
While the acting is pretty solid with a solid casting, with the explanation of what going on is great in giving the audience a sense of direction, you come to start feeling sorry for them as their being stalked trying to find a way out. Unlike the descent where that film has a serious amount of tension, the cave does easy up in places giving you a scene of foreboding as you never really know where it is.
While the film is great to watch there is an Aspect which most audience may not like about the film, but the film itself is above average, a pretty good Creature feature that worth watching even for a popcorn night in front of the tv.
Dislikes: I feel the film could have been a little longer, I would have kept the creatures out of sight until the third act of the film. While you dont really get a Full glimpse of teh creature straight away, the film scares are pretty much off the table, though the film is pretty good popcorn film.
Overall: Dark, claustrophobic caravans, solid acting, Great casting, good story.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 8 out of 10 for creature feature horror.
