A group
of cave divers and scientists explore a newly
found cave in Romania. A rockfall blocks their
exit. They delve further into the cave and
discover some unusual looking small sea creatures
but then they spot these gigantic prehistoric
looking ones too that have wings. They are
parasites that kills and eats people.
They notice that their head scientist named Jack
(Cole Hauser) starts to have strange side effects
and begins to behave like these creatures.
Were these creatures once humans too and then
were turned into something deadly and monstrous?
They must go further into the cave to find a way
out even if it means sacrificing their own lives
by battling these creatures.
This was an exciting film as you
are waiting for the terror to begin.
I was almost thinking of the flick the Boogens
when I heard about the plot. This seemed to
borrow more elements with flicks like
Mimic and Aliens but it
does carry a story on its own.
Great effects too as this film wasn't the highest
budgeted one so we have to give the makers great
credit for what they put into it and is watchable
all the way through. You don't want to miss a
thing with this one.
The acting is good. I'm glad to see
Cole Hauser still working ever since I
saw him in my favourite movie Dazed &
Confused. He does well when he is
starting to show his evil side growing when he
slowly turns into a parasite. Plus his
performnace seems to make him seem older than he
really is. He certainly fills his fathers boots
which is the b-film icon Wings Hauser
and is already making a bigger success too.
Some people are getting killed an
eaten as well as small creatures chewed up.
Oh yes, Bruce Hunt is the
man to make this film look great.
He knows how to direct every bit of the scerarios
happening and keeping the viewers peeled to the
set.
He shows great scenes of the cave and the other
surroundings as well as the suspenseful
happenings with the giant parasites attacking.
The
music is also amazing with the dark low keyboard
playing when the researchers go underwater.
Reinhold Heil and Johnny Klimek sure
know how to compose a film making it suitable for
the story.
We
also get a songtrack titled "Nemo"
performed by Nightwish
Charlie: They
fly! They frickin' fly!
Kathryn: At
first, I thought it couldn't survive outside of a
cave environment. Now, I'm not sure. I think it
wants to get out.
