Yes, it's a great cast. In a lesser horror movie, these women would've been bimbos without personalities. But here they are individuals, and the characterization actually matters as things start to go wrong in the cave. And the ending...as I said, it's an aerobic workout.J.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07815005929352267468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-90912348080185215832007-03-05T14:18:00.000-05:002007-03-05T14:18:00.000-05:00This sir, was my favorite movie of 2006. Keep in ...This sir, was my favorite movie of 2006. Keep in mind I have in no way whatsoever seen as many movies to judge on for the year as you have, but this is absolutely a genre masterpiece. What a shock! A horror movie with a story (it has an arc!), with character development! And, as you pointed out, filmed beautifully too. Note how all the exterior shots are shot wide to show you how open it is outside.... masterwork here. And it scared the bejeezus out of me. And I'm glad they stuck with the bleak ending, it adds a certain grace and circularity to the story I think. And, yes, Shauna McDonald rocks here.... but what about Natalie Mendoza? She gets my pick for bad-ass of the year.is that so wrong?https://www.blogger.com/profile/17381583480546191643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-52439187094482811772007-03-05T09:52:00.000-05:002007-03-05T09:52:00.000-05:00I'm no expert on horror movies, but I think it's s...I'm no expert on horror movies, but I think it's some kind of genre masterpiece.J.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07815005929352267468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-27176670045262472782007-03-05T00:55:00.000-05:002007-03-05T00:55:00.000-05:00Wow.
