Yes... I was only referring to "The Cavern". As to the remarks about how old I am... let's just say that my age has nothing to do with my views... I AM a fan of horror... not gore! There is a difference! If one takes a film such as " The Fly" (original version from the 1950's) or the Bela Lugosi incarnation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" , or even the earlier German "Nosferatu"...you have TRUE HORROR. No sheared body parts...no pools of body organs... just imagination and a good classic way of 'spooking' the audience, instead of making them sick... this is horror!
"The Cavern" had a bit of the suspense of a good horror film, but cancelled its effect by lousy photography and a poor ending.
"The Descent" may have gore... but, the sheer terror is there to balance it or, perhaps, even surpass it. I will go to see "The Descent", as it contains the elements of a good fright film...plus the fact that you can se what is going on!
Rent "The Cavern".... you will see what I have described as its failures. I did, in fact, like the "Cave"... and anticipate that "Descent" will far outclass the suspense of either film.
... and leave the remarks in your waste basket, sport . They are not needed here.
