After losing her family in a tragic accident, Sarah is persuaded by her friends to go on an adventure climbing in a cave. They soon become trapped and realise that they are in the wrong cave and no one will come looking for them. Their only choice is to keep moving to find a way out. However it soon becomes clear that they are not alone down there...

First thing I wanna say is this is a good movie. If you love hard core horror films then you will not be disappointed with this one. However it did take a long time to get going; I felt myself drifting off  waiting for them just to reach the cave. Also once they were in the cave, the pressure of being trapped and the claustrophobia from the setting would have been enough to make it an intense and frightening film. When the 'crawlers' arrived I felt it was a bit much and all it did was make the film more gory! I myself dont enjoy films with a lot of blood and gore in them so it lowered the enjoyment level for me. But if you like a movie with bones sticking out of body parts and skin being torn open, then you will definitely get a kick out of this film. But overall because the suspense was so high I enjoyed it, even if the acting in it wasnt 100% amazing!
