A year later, Beth has stuck by Sarah through the bad times, while Juno has all but disappeared from the scene. However, she has arranged for another outing with them along with several other women. They include aspiring doctor Sam (MYANNA BURING), professional climber Rebecca (SASKIA MULDER) and Juno's unofficial protégé, base jumper Holly (NORA-JANE NOONE).
Arriving at an Appalachian cabin, the group bonds and then sets out for a bit of cave exploration, with Beth and Juno hoping the spelunking might help Sarah out of her grief-based funk. The six women then enter the cave and travel deep inside it, only to have their exit cut off by a sudden tunnel collapse. Things seem bad when Juno admits she's taken them to an uncharted cave with no maps and no one on the outside knowing where they've gone.
However, the situation gets worse when the women discover they're not alone as they quickly come across some sort of cave-dwelling, humanoid type creatures that live and feed down there. Blind but featuring highly tuned ears and the ability to scamper across cave walls and ceilings, the creatures see the intruders as food.
From that point on, the women must do what they can to survive the repeated attacks, all while trying to find a way out of the claustrophobic cave system.
Violence consists of the humanoid cave dweller monsters attacking, killing, and eating some of the humans, while some of the latter fight back and kill the creatures by various means. All of that has extremely bloody/gory results, and those scenes, various moments of peril, many jump scenes, and the claustrophobic nature of the film's setting may be unsettling, suspenseful, or downright scary to some viewers.
Some bad attitudes are present, including a woman not being a good friend to another woman (including talk that she had an affair with her husband). Other tense family material includes an introductory accident scene where a woman loses her husband and child. Some characters drink, while two briefly smoke pot.
Should you still be concerned about the film's appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, you may want to look more closely at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.
For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, there's a bit of bouncy camera work during some aerial shots, while all of the quick edits, etc. in the caves might create that result in some sensitive viewers.
