i can not help but forget that incredible scene in alien and when the extra terrestrial burst out of one of the men chest . or even in predator when the invisible monster snuck upon the bewildered soldier and cut them to piece . both these movie express fascinate idea on the run of the mill creature feature . back track to the era of cheesy b movie and watch big men in phony suit parade around kill people in small town . now recognize that the two movie above revolutionize this genre . the cave do nothing to improve on it . it try nothing new and and bad of all and the cave doesn not even have good gore . shame on them and shame on them all . parade around in sexy spandex be the one dimensional character of the cave . all of which seem to not care when they witness the death of their colleague . they just stroll along and unbeknownst to the evil creature lurk in the darkness . the plot be very easy to understand . so you get the two brother and the black guy and the sexy female scientist . the rest ( by the rest i mean all of those meet grisly demise ) be even more unexciting then the others . we have the korean assistant and the risky outdoor chick and a russian scientist and two diver and both lack a sense of emotion and be stupid enough to wander off by themselves . this movie exceed to be extremely clichéd and since everybody but the black guy and one of the brother and the female scientist meet an end . it also seem only american can survive the terror and since the russian and the korean die . don not be offend if i give away detail . there no real surprise anyway . to be straight forward they find this cave . they go in the cave . they get stick in the cave . they start die in the cave . one of them get infect in the cave . more die in the cave . they get out of the cave while only to discover that one of them have a parasite that will turn them into a ghastly monster and which really doesn not seem to bother them . that the simplicity of the lackluster plot . it doesn not even try to be original . it even have the part where they decide their leader isn not capable and split up . we have just see this way to many time before . i know in a movie like this and people do not care about the performance but it worth mention how bad they be . everyone be just so dreary . cole hauser be especially unsophisticated and do not get me start on eddie cibrian and who be frequently a lot well . morris chestnut be hand down the best thing in the movie . his performance be actually decent . he portray the guy who calm everybody down . all the other actor be average at best . in a show like this and that really not a bad thing . now to the reason we go to this genre of film while the action and of course . well and to my regret and the action be dull . the death scene be all boring and hell the whole movie be . there be barely any blood at all . it either they disappear and find later or they be attack and die without a bruise . see the korean man death be the only exciting action i could find . it pretty amaze . the bad thing over shadow most of the thing that be good . a good example be to say the special effect be well do and which they be . the only thing wrong be that since everything take place in a cave and it go to be dark . i find it extremely hard to distinguish between the cave wall and the monster . so it be pretty hard to even see the creature . although i like the special effect and there be nothing original about the monster . they all resemble each other and they weren not frighten at all . the cave mark the directorial debut for bruce hunt . i do not see what he be try to accomplish by make this film . he obviously make a huge mistake . almost everything about this movie stunk like a stink bomb . a stink bomb be probably even more pleasurable than watch this mess again . only the most forgiving moviegoer will find this forgivable . i give up all hope in the middle of the film when i hear the phrase what the hell be that and for the third time .
