Living Dark: The Story of Ted the Caver

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.

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.

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

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.

2 of the dumbest brothers you will ever see go caving. Despite no caving experience or any form of a motive, they risk their lives in the dumbest way possible. If you have a fear of tight spaces, you will be horrified by the stupidity of the brothers and the situations they get themselves into. Again, all for no reason.
