A year after it’s release I finally got around to finishing watching it..
err that is UK release.
was only recently released in the states.
like a week or 2 ago tops.

first off…
GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!
NOW!
RUN and rent it/buy some tickets!

I went with 2 other kids I know.
that makes 3
PLUS the other 2 people in the theater
makes a grand total of 5 (five).
granted it was a Wednesday afternoon around two ish when the showing was…

ok ok the backstory for me…

about a year ago I “acquired” a copy. Not a very good copy but nonetheless a copy of the film.
watched 20 mins tops and was completely blown away by the opening that I decided I needed to stop watching to wait for a crystal clear 5.1 surround version.
a year later and it happened.
well well WELL worth the wait.
it is hands down the best horror film I’ve seen since god knows when.

after the movie I couldn’t stop shaking from it.
too much horror NO to much intenseness keeping me on the edge of my seat.
NEVER will I go “spelunking” again!
NOTE I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND to NOT WATCH the trailer for it. I think it would have played out even more CRAZILY had I not seen the trailer lately.
Watching the first 20 mins and then waiting a year and seeing it: YES
Watching the trailer: NO
