3/10
Not very thrilling for a thriller.

Warning: Spoilers
The ending of this film left me scratching my head. Four twenty-somethings enter a cave (extremely ill-prepared) looking for proof of a creature. None of them have any training in spelunking and have no real grasp of the potential dangers.

Most of the cave is remarkably level. They make no descents (which is lucky because the only cordage they bring along is a ball of yarn). I could swear they were using the slow flow of water at their feet to indicate the way 'down'.

The box art reads: 'miles below the earth'. If they're referring to the creature awakening it must have done most of the walking. The story's two park rangers aren't very ranger-like, one of whom looks like she hasn't slept for a week. If they have any official protocols to follow they do a rather poor job of it.

The story is rather disjointed, the character development is very poor and I couldn't bring myself to emotionally invest in any of them. It isn't proven that the creature comes from another world. My head is still spinning from trying to sort out the plot.

Wounds barely bleed, lost fingers barely slow people down and people trapped in the cave are subsisting on who-knows-what.

Unless you are very bored and have absolutely nothing better to do, give this film a hard pass.
