The Descent [From The Writer/Director of Dog Soldiers]

Wow, what a tense flick. The tension kept building, and building, and building, and building, until all hell broke loose, as mod also pointed out. It really captured claustophobic well; from the tight crawl spaces, to the darkness, to the sound (my surround system was put to great use). And a great act of filmmaking in using the different light sources to let the viewer know exactly where we are and with whom; with the best use of night vision since Paris Hilton Silence Of The Lambs. While there were some cheap scares and the character didn't feel fully fleshed out, it does get the tension right.

Once again, I'm with Mac.  The tension and claustrophobia made this movie.  It's basically Alien in a cave but it worked for me.  I felt the same way about this that I did about Narc.  Not original by any means but authentic and effective enough for that not to matter.  It was a good time.  Wish I had seen it in a theatre, except that the US ending sucked.

And I'm glad that Michelle Rodriguez was unavailable to play Juno.

Although, I just realized a possible goof:  If the cave creatures are blind, who drew the cave painting they saw?

I just assumed it was the same people who left the spike
