If you are are a completist - there is another film based on Ricky Kasso besides the Van Bebber one called Black Circle Boys. It's not great though.

I've read people all over the internet hate it, even Whannell hates it, but I don't see why. I may buy this on DVD if I find myself wanting to watch it again, which seems likely.

I actually had to stop watching this one partway through, and pretty early at that. I stopped watching after F because I didn't want to suffer through about 20 more segments. Only 1 or 2 of the segments I watched were passable, A and D. I don't think it's fair for me to grade this since I didn't finish it, but I don't ever plan to watch the rest of this movie.

Think that's as far as I got too. It would've been good if the filmmakers took it seriously

Almost all of them just looked really unprofessional. Youtube videos have better quality than the ones I saw, especially C and E.

I agree!! I thought this was a very well made movie, one that you find yourself really feeling the characters. I wish there more like this!!

Exhibit 1 your honour:



I can provide another 150+ examples if need be.

Piranha 3D - terrible movie!! Especially the floating piece of "anatomy". I'm guilty of watching the whole movie though

The same thing could be said about R movies.......

Excellent movie!! Yeah, I'ma HUGE Viggo fan and it would have been nice to have seen more of him in this flick!

If you like exploration & survival films, & the like: cave or underwater films, I think you'll enjoy this. It's what I'd call "reality horror", or just plain a personal disaster film (like your own personal Towering Inferno).

I think it was well shot & well made. Good cinematography, sets, sounds. The acting is solid when you accept the characters are a mix of hard-ass explorers, Xtreme sporters, survivalists & rich asshole types. Realizing that, I thought the stoicism was mildly realistic character development, enough for the type of film it's trying to be (it's not Terms of Endearment).

Most of the scenes are very real, and the rest plausible -- in that area of 'who knows unless you're in that extreme situation' plausibility.

Looking at the ratings & reviews at large, I think most are being awfully harsh; as if they were expecting 'James Cameron's Titanic' in a cave. Cameron didn't write or direct it, he just funded it.

I think that I enjoyed the cinematography more than anything else. I thought the movie was well done, it was not meant to be a horror movie, just a good thriller.

Yeah, Black Circle Boys was pretty far out there....

Most recent movie for me:

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

A+

Excellent movie!! I enjoyed this one as much as the first one. Mickey Rourke rocks!!
