Very little in the way off a story line, effects look like they were done by a 3 Yr old, actors not even bothered to act, also some sort off weird delay when they speak like they are following an auto cue, cars with blurred out number plates, floating rocks, blood that appears and disappears, most off the film has very little talking, or is just the same things repeated several times.
It's basically just people running about silent. No sicence involved. The daughters look older than the mother, honeslty a baby could do better. Only thing going for the film is the scenery. Parts off the sound are completely missing.

I love B movies, more than the yearly "blockbusters" which tend to be reheated leftovers. But B movies? That's my jam. However, this? This was even too bad for me. I don't like to rag on actors, since they're doing what the director wants. But these folks were just amazingly bad. Therefore the director must have been, too. The script and delivery were horrid and, as others have mentioned, the "special" effects were something a bright first-grader could conjure. I don't want to add spoilers for the brave souls who will still want to watch this dog's dinner, but do yourself a favor - paint a wall and watch it dry. Much more scintillating.
Oh my goodness, this film is so amateur that you wouldn't even expect to find it on YouTube. There was no editing on the low vocalization in many shots, the dad acted like he was sleeping, and the special effects were reused a number of times, if you can call them that. And one seen the girls get squashed by a huge tree and then the next scene they're running like nothing happened. One girl gets killed by a rock slide and then the next scene they're all asking each other are you OK and everyone says yes, and this is after they're nearly feet from the cave opening but she used to shelter under part of the cave instead of just running out. There was zero acting and zero editing on his thing, and to simulate the earthquake everybody just pretended that they were losing their balance lol. So just for the fun of it I decided to give it five stars in case it was a high school project that accidentally got put on Tubi. I did not finish watching this but managed to get halfway through it.
My God! If Ed Wood were reincarnated as a gorilla with a space helmet for a head he could not make a movie as bad as this! Basically a snuff film on meth pretending to be a disaster movie. Multiple characters wander on screen just so they can get killed off in sometimes repetitive ways, while the main characters look for dumb things they can do before doing even dumber things. The sound quality is, literally, an oxymoron. The cinematography is good, where it isn't spoiled by the presence of the cast. Might have made a good 15 minute travelogue of wherever the hell this was filmed (the Scottish Highlands? The Transylvanian Alps? Mordor?) and I might have saved an hour of my life that I will never get back!
Were the actors asleep during the entire filming? F/X were apparently done by someone's 3 year old on an ancient PC running Windows 3. There was a splash of blood at one point that I was sure was someone's ketchup packet accidentally spilled on the film and they just left it in because it was the only semi-realistic effect throughout the entire atrocity. Editing and continuity were afterthoughts, if even present at all. If you insist on watching this drivel, do it for the scenery. That was the only part they couldn't screw up. Do yourself a favor, don't watch this. Look, I'm sorry for the harsh words, and you can blame it on being American, and a steady diet of over-the-top summer blasters, but this seriously needed a major input of caffeine for everyone involved.
