Shot in a 90% Found Footage style, this film goes from being a fun mood trip of 5 friends to becoming absolutely insane and terrifying towards the end. The story is plain simple but execution is top class.
The film sticks to typical character stereotypes, like you'd expect from any low-budget movie built around a single premise - in this case, five friends getting lost in a cave. The storytelling and character arcs don't bring anything new and rely heavily on familiar formulas. That also makes the jump scares quite predictable, always showing up exactly where you'd expect them.
However, the film does manage to create some tense and gripping moments, especially when it explores psychological pressure, fear of death, and how people mentally break down in extreme situations. These themes add depth to an otherwise conventional plot.
One thing that always bothers me personally - and this film is no exception - is when friend groups already feel unrealistic during the introduction phase. There's little believable chemistry or genuine connection between them, which makes you wonder as a viewer, 'Why are you even friends if you treat each other like this?'
That said, the ending was satisfying and wrapped things up in a way that felt earned. Also, the choice to use a found footage style was a smart one. It fit the theme very well and added to the intensity and realism of the story.

A silly, unrealistic film about idiotic young people doing what they knew they should not do just to impress one another and that predictably goes wrong. A redeeming factor is that it was (at least in part, I guess) really filmed in a cave, and a cave surrounded by a very, very beautiful natural forested/beach location. An aggravating factor is that the plot offers an interesting ethical dilemma which is so badly handled it loses all effectiveness. The audience (should I say victims?) must chose if one thing neutralizes the other or just highlights it; notwithstanding I'd not recommend it.
This movie seems to be very nice for me cause it's a horror movie without ghost or anything if you like to watch cave videos this movie makes you feel better. Language is not a barrier for this movie just enjoy & explore some cave.

I think in general terms this was a great flick, a very realistic story that begin in a high spirit note straigth to desperation and pure madness,
Great acting, I strongly recomend.
