The Cave

How many times do I have to say this?? You can make me scared, you can make me sad, you can make me angry, you can do whatever you want when you're making a movie, but, please God, don't bore me!!! That's the problem I had with The Cave.



The Cave is the story about...you got it, a cave! Here's the gist of it: When I scientist discovers a cave under the ruins of a church in the Carpathian mountains, he calls in a group of professional cave explorers (yes, that's what they're supposed to be!) to help him map the cave. The problem comes when, once a mile underground, there's a cave in! Now, can I just take a minute to say that I would never go spelunking, just because in every cave movie I ever saw, there's a cave in that leads to really bad things, and that's what happens here.

After the cave in, our stalwart group has to find a way out on their own, the problem is, there's something else in the caves with them! And, isn't that always the case, doesn't anyone realize that monsters always live in caves?!?!

The Cave is a sort of Aliens like horror movie. There's really nothing here to make it stand out from any other Sci-Fi Channel made for TV horror fest, there's no more gore, there's no more story and it's just sad. I found it very easy to walk away from this movie, and if a movie is good, I'll cancel a meeting with the President to finish it!

I'm giving The Cave one unlit cigar, . and it only got that high a rating because the monsters are pretty cool looking for CGI monsters, and the back story of them is not too bad, other than that The Cave would have me sleeping in my easy chair! So, until next time, when I'll realize that if I watch enough of these kind of movies, I'll be afraid to every leave my house again...not because the movie scared me, but because I might come home with more like them, remember that the best movies are bad movies!
