I saw The Descent and figured I tried The Cave to see if it was as bad as most people said it was. I was not surprised in the least. This movie is hands down, worse then The Descent. The actors seemed just as uninspired in this movie as the filmmakers, and this movie was not scary at all. It had a few jump scenes but nothing that got my heart pumping.
A group of scientists ventured into a cave and discover that they are not alone. Yes The Descent got many of its ideas from this movie, but then I'm not sure if it did or not since the British version of The Descent was out the same year as The Cave.
In comparing the two movies, The Descent is intense and scary as hell, but the Cave was just a yawn fest. It did have some nice scenery and photography, but other than that it has little else going for it. The acting was rather lame, as if all them just phoned there roles in. The Descent however had rather good acting.
In comparing the two films, The Descent is my pick for recent best horror movie involving a cave. The Cave, well just forget about it. It's a good thing I just borrowed it because I would've been rather upset if I had bought this boring horror movie.
score 3/10
