A low budget film that really worked with the budget. The acting and the practical effects were good. Combined with compelling story telling, it was a pleasant surprise. It's rare to see films about creepy pastas done well, so it was nice.

It's entertaining throughout. Definitely some very tense and stressful moments. There are even some good scares! It's enjoyable. We had fun.

I had extremely low expectations for a movie based on a creepypasta, but I love the original Ted the Caver story so much I decided to give this a try, and I was *pleasantly* surprised.
The movie really was pretty scary, in my opinion, though yes, some are jump scares, as almost all horror movies do. The actor who played Ted - Chris Cleveland - was a wonderful surprise. He strongly reminded me of Matthew McConnaghey, and I really felt his terror. In my opinion, his performance alone changed this from an average movie to one I really liked.
Yes, there are some weak plot points (which is the only reason I didn't go for an 8), but I've seen few horror movies with a plot that doesn't require some suspension of disbelief.
Give it a chance. I'm glad I did!

I had absolutely no expectations for this movie. I found out there was a Ted the Caver movie, and saw it was on prime, and immediately watched it. When it first began, I thought it was going to suck. Every scene outside the cave looks extremely cheap and amateurish. Once they get into the cave, however, it starts to look more like a real movie.
The cave sets look really good. I'd believe that it was all shot in a real cave, but then some of the shots they got would be impossible. The acting from our leads is a little corny, but this is a very low budget horror, so it was really just as good as it needed to be.
There's some good suspense, but some annoying "it was just a loud noise" jump scares. The jump scares are the worst part of this movie. They're effective, I jumped, but they felt really cheap for the most part. And they were far too frequent. There's a few other problems, such as a character who only exists as a McGuffin to get our leads back into the cave.
If you're an expert on Ted the Caver, you probably won't like it because it does deviate from the original story. If you're like me, who read the story 10 years ago and forgot about it until I stumbled upon this movie, I think you'll enjoy it. Big recommendation, I think this is truly a hidden gem.

I kept reading how terrifying it was, more so than the movie Descent, but whoever thought so, obviously never watched Descent, or any other scary cave movie. A colossal waste of time in my book, and whatever creatures they created to try to look scary, could have been done better with half the budget. It had potential is all the good I can say.

I've listened to the podcast story of Ted the Caver and found out there was a movie. I was very excited. I gave it a four because it was different from what the podcast stated, which is how books and movies are. But it wasn't a bad film, just disappointing that it wasn't the same.

IN SHORT, and without spoilers, I think this might've worked as a VERY LOW budget and low-key "horror" flick, IF only they didn't drop the ball at the end.
I found it mildly interesting and even "promising" for the first half, so I was kind of expecting something "good" going forward, despite the obvious slow burn pace, but IMO things got totally messed up, and became confusing and underwhelming after that.
Not even talking about production value, acting and visuals, here, as it's clear this is low budget (and scenography is minimal but OK), but the main issue lies in how the story evolves into an unbelievable nothing, basically.

Better than Descent!!!! This is a must see. Great acting and director. Excellent storyline.

Why the movie makers would destroy their hard earned product with a ridiculously impossible 3rd act no minimally reasonable person can say. A decent premise, a decent execution, (even if it is a low budget movie) and then an impossible series of events that lead to the finish, which itself was also decent.

Two brothers stumble across a hidden cave. Intrigued by a small opening from the entrance they manage to go further into the cave. Initially this is all a thrilling adventure but things turn sinister when they realise there's something down there, something that may have been responsible for their father's death.
Incredibly bad. The basic plot had potential, reminding me of 'The Descent' but from the start things fall apart: plot is incredibly flimsy, acting is atrocious, production values are poor.
There is some intrigue about what is waiting for the cave but once that is encountered, horror clichés abound. Just about every cheesy plot device and piece of dialogue is used in an very predictable and dull ending.
There's even a segment of the one brother just yelling "Charlie!" for several minutes. Beyond dull, it was irritating.

Oh dear.. really didn't enjoy this cringed all the way through. The silly girl screams from the two grown men is enough to put you off. The hole kept changing in length and how the hell did Charlie fit through it. Massive build up to some rock monsters attacking and noisy grating screaming.
