This was by far the BEST horror film of 2006. I remember seeing this movie during commercials and such but for whatever reason I never got to see it on the big screen. So for Halloween 2007 I ended up buying this movie to watch on one of my scary movie nights and hands down not only me but my entire group of friends applauded this fantastic piece of horror that we had just witnessed. Director Neil Marshall used his surroundings well placing the scary bits of horror that will make you jump out of seat with speed and economy. The no-name actors did an excellent job of feeling like they actually cared for each other, a sister-hood as you must that was going to be in this till the end. I'm not going to go into the story and what happens all I need to tell you is that the atmosphere and story that is put forth by Marshall and cinematographer Sam McCurdy is awesome. Will you be scared, YES! Will you be talking about this movie tomorrow, YES! Will you think twice before you go cave dwelling, if you don't say YES then you have more balls than me! A great piece of horror that any fan of the genre should own and a perfect movie to watch during the Halloween season. I highly recommend it, 5 stars!
What's great about it: Awesome kick-as* horror movie with characters you ACTUALLY care about!
What's not so great: No A list actors/actresses which makes the average movie goer skip this film, the ending might turn off horror purists
