Or: "The Only Decent Horror Flick I've Seen in Years." Although it would be even better without the flesh-eating albino cave-dwellers. I mean, the act of spelunking is frightening enough -- you don't need the threat of being ripped apart by the bastard cousins of Powder to feel the desperation of the situation. As it is, the addition of the murderous creatures halfway through the film doesn't ruin anything -- what almost does is the soap opera of the denouement. While it's refreshing to see a strong, all-female cast, Marshall spoils the goodwill by having the group come apart over a man. Again, the movie is about people trapped in a cave. What more drama do you need?
