the cave get release more or less simultaneously with the english film the descent and direct by neil marshall . both movie share a similar premise while only the cave be dreadfully unoriginal and unexciting and incompetent compare to the splendid horror adventure that be the descent . it feel like neil marshall realize that the basic story be too poor and instantly add ingenious idea and depth and a personalized style and whereas the cave director bruce hunt simply go for the most rudimentary elaboration of the screenplay that be throw on his desk . the result be an unbelievably mediocre film that feature every single horror cliché you can think of and in which most of the violence happen off screen . and we all hate that and do not we . the story introduce a clique of insufferable cave diver that become trap in a completely undiscovered romanian underground ecosystem . hideous wing creature and that also happen to be parasite and soon attack them and escape seem impossible due to a landslide . the first half hour be still mildly entertaining if you keep yourself busy with spot all the clichés and listening to the cheesy textbook dialog and but the whole thing just get too dire . none of the event be even slightly plausible and it look like the entire cast be compete with each other to deliver the bad performance . i have see well special effect in anonymous b movie already and the filming location aren not use to the full and the end downright suck . very much not recommend .
