My quick rating - 6,5/10. Not sure what @Oklahoma Ward and @Nicole Alonso did to me, but after #CRAWLorDIE it seems movies are all about caves, tunnels, and claustrophobia. Anyway, shameless plug aside, this movie is a very well-done flick that keeps you wondering what is next. It takes a little bit to get going, but after it does, it holds the audience quite well. The acting is as expected but I found the "interview" like scenes with Perdita Weeks as Scarlett doing a good job pulling you into the story. Yep, there is a story, even if it is far-fetched. It is your hidden underground labyrinth with a hidden item (in this case a healing stone) that has been buried for centuries in the world's largest tomb. The imagery of crawling around over bones and walking through corridors of skulls, etc. really brings out the atmosphere and makes the "found footage" take some validity for once and not use it as just a gimmick. The scares are there, subtly, but effective. After tons of "found footage" movies getting the idea completely wrong and just using the handi cam this way, finally, another movie gets it right. Giving a feel of other movies such as Descent and the exceptional Crawl or Die with the horror and claustrophobic sense seems to be working as of late, and this is another that does it quite well. Definitely, a good watch and such a cool ending to the whole story that drives you to "the only way out is to keep going down." After seeing the end, you will know what I mean. A great finish to a good entry into the genre. Enjoy on Amazon by clicking the poster below or you may be able to catch it streaming on Hulu as well
