Apparently, this United Kingdom production initially released or unleased to the world last year and just now getting its America debut introduces a more feminine [Alien (1979) touch to the monster horror genre, yet this monster movie descends into the more traditional gore fest including the typical lost shot. The use of female characters that could have created a resurgence of a new breath of horror intelligence and qualitatively emotional movie faltered early own when like in Aliens (1986). With the rare opportunity to re-introduce the exciting, mysterious underworld experience on the movie screen like The Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959), this movie missed a great chance to make a classic horror movie as some of the cave sequences are brilliantly done. Unfortuately, this movie is neither really that scary and misses many chances to be different from all the rest of the bloodfest movies that have come out in recent years.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I was surprised to see that several critics think it's a very good horror film. It has a pretty good metacritic score at the moment...
