I wanted to like this movie, but it was just ok. The acting is solid and some great atmospheric moments. The story is not all too original but still intriguing. Where the movie fails for me is in two spots. First, yes I know it is mostly at night, but parts are just too dark for the human eye. Second, the whole film is based around the monsters that we hardly get to see enough of. Worth a watch but keep your expectations low.

Too dark and not in a good way, even in daytime setting I couldn't see a thing, I've no idea what was going on as the screen just seemed to be in total darkness. I can understand most of these things happen at night but even the daytime stuff seemed to be dark, I thought at first there was a Shaddow on my screen.

Didn't keep me interested enough to watch it all the way through, boring story, boring cast and I couldn't see what was going on.

Strong start. Visually pleasing. Great suspense elements. And then character development screeches to a half, picture gets blurry and erratic and suddenly you have no idea what's going on and you kind of don't care.

As soon as I saw that the main character is a supermodel European giving tours of redneck America I knew it was gonna be bad. Not to mention they try to make her seem tough as nails, but she looks like she's never gone a day without a spa treatment. The movie isn't much better, but the main character tips the hand as to how bad this is.

Something is down there in the ground, and with dishonest causes for being there where the ground smokes and the mud is warm, really rams this group of five.

but as in every 3rd monster movie the monster is barely visible, a blurry outline and a flysnappersflowers mouth piece is the only you can see.and apart from loads of groans and growels, and dissapearing mighty men that should have a CO detector instead of a CO2 detector. the guiding ''lola'' caracter seems like and sound like a toomb raider caracter, and the continous darkness keeps the secrets very well hidden till you cant figure out whats what. so productionwise it has many glitches, and a very troublesome daylight logistic nightmare. the darkfilming is so bad, so what is in the dark stays secretly there in the dark forever.

so go out and find yourself an abandoned coal mine pit and make a copycat outta this.you just have to be cruel and sinister and dumbfoundly curious in the acts, its really nothing more.

it started of with a 6, ended up with a weak 4 thinks the grumpy old man. its a shallow story, poor caracter development and the filming is a nightmare
