Six young friends investigate missing persons cases in a remote cave system, unaware they're being stalked by an ancient creature lurking in the depths. This has all the makings of a great British creature feature. Our young characters are relatable and well cast, and there's a fantastic turn from the amazing John Rhys-Davies who brings a strong presence to the film. I loved the lore behind the story and how our group came to be investigating the cave network where our mysterious creature dwells. The setting is cold, dark and oozing atmosphere - you can feel the damp air close in around you and can tell this was shot in caves and not on a studio set. There's some fantastic practical effects when we first see glimpses of what they are capable of and the fact we don't get a full reveal until the third act is fantastic. It's almost Alien esque in approach, having each glimpse show a new side of the creature and when we finally see it in full glory it's something to behold. The only slight I have is the effects in the latter act do take away from the earlier creepiness of the creature, but overall I enjoyed the film and there are some fun deaths to keep you gore hounds satisfied.

It had to come sooner or later. This movie is the AI slop you were worried about and has no value whatsoever.
