P.S. And it was unnessarily loud as well. Volume in lieu of suspense these days.
Whatever happened to the good ol' fashioned scary movies. Loud and cheesy jump scenes does not equal horror.

Disappointing reviews; I had high hopes for this one.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

As did I! I think I'll still go see it. If I hate it I'll have no one to blame but myself. I really like the concept of this one. Since we can't consider it a horrer flick, maybe I'll view it as an adventure flick, yeah that's the ticket!

The Descent is a British film along similar lines (cavers go somewhere deep). Reviews were good in the UK, but I can't find a US release date.
Ironically this film is set in the US but filmed in the UK. And The Cave is set in Europe but filmed in the US (I believe).
I think we may have mentioned The Descent previously.

There so many awful/terrible/inept etc movies being made that I need my eyesight
Why The Cave got made is beyond me. It was BORING!!!!!!!!!!!! Cole Hauser is like so many actors- he belongs in the supporting or non primary leading role.
That's Hollyweird! Its remakes, re sequels, re-hashes. And if that formula cannot be adhered to, then any originality is squashed until it neatly accomodates it.
Sure everyone is waiting to see King Kong. No matter how Jackson presents it, its still a variation of Beauty and the Beast.
