If you are refering to the set piece when Sarah gets stuck in the tiny tunnel, I thought that was pretty intense. <br /><br />The females feel like real characters (given the weird story they are living through) which was nice. I felt the script limited the jumber of cliches to a minimum. The only cliche was maybe the experienced spelunker who shows off her skills from time to time, but that wasn't anything major.edgarchaputhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874108948902089501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230992985317364959.post-45384485950069333762010-09-23T17:54:33.771-04:002010-09-23T17:54:33.771-04:00I thought this was a well made film, but found tha...I thought this was a well made film, but found that Marshall went for too many cheap jump scares early on that made the sequences in the cave less effective because I had already been worn down by the cheap tactics. Still, once they are in the cave, it's one of the finest horror films of the decade with some strong story elements, particularly with the portrayal of females.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
