Had enough of torture porn? Sick of endless gory deaths that don't evoke any feeling or fear? Long for the days of real horror, when audiences were genuinely frightened by what was happening on screen instead of salivating for the next kill? Great! In...

Definitely a good movie. The first thing to know is that this is a suspense movie. This movie takes a LONG time to build up. It spends a lot time crawling through tight tunnels, which was VERY suspens... eful. You could feel the claustrophobia yourself. However, if you do not like suspense driven movies (like The Blair Witch Project), then this movie is not for you. But I guarantee that if you stick around for the second half of the movie...it gets much better and you will be scared. The second thing to know is that there are two endings. The EUROPEAN version had an AMAZING ending which, for some reason, the AMERICAN version did not have. I don\'t want to spoil it, but the last 60 seconds of the movie make it SO much better and it is absolutely necessary to get the European version. The last thing you need to know is that although there it is rated R for all the gore near the end. There is no nudity. Even though it is dark and hard to see things, it is still pretty gross. All in all, despite the fact that it was a little too gross for my tastes, it was an awesome movie that had all my favorite elements of horror in it: suspense, startling, shock, twist ending, psychological breakdown and edge of your seat scariness.

I loved this movie. The only thing I didn't like was that they jipped the American audience when it came to the ending. The ending that European audience got to see was much better then the ones tha... t we we're shown. We don't need happy endings in order to like a movie. Full Review
Amazing...This is the WOSE horror film I ever saw in my entire adult life. I knew as soon as 95%of the movie was in the dark. I had no idea what was happening..no plot...2 hours of my life wasted. I ... expected a trick ending...but it made so sense at all.. and I am a horror fan.!!! Rating 0 or minus if I could give it this Full Review
Amazing. This is the best horror film of the decade. Niel Marshall is phenomenal at directing this. Must see.
