About this movie

Jack (Hauser) and his brother Tyler (Eddie Cibrian) are thrill-seeking professional cave explorers who run a team of the top divers in the world. They arrive in Romania with all the latest equipment, including a new type of scuba tank allowing a diver to remain submerged for up to 24 hours. The crack unit, which also includes Charlie (Perabo) and Buchanan (Chestnut) immediately begins their exploration. But what they find deep inside the caves is not just a anew eco-system, but an entirely new species altogether...© 2005 Cineblue Internationale Filmproduktionsgesellschaft mbH & Co. 1.

Ratings and reviews

Not the best 'Alien' rip-off but definitely not the worst. Bright, crisp colors on all the underwater photography~ really beautiful. They had the best crew shooting the underwater cave stuff and it really shows. The creature has a cool design but it's rarely shown plain on film, better examined in the DVD special feaures. I like the various characters, it has a good cast. One of my favorites, not the greatest, worth a rental

I thought it was an alligator or a giant crocodile from the cover but it wasn't. Anyways I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was, I mean don't get me wrong there's lots of plot holes and your left wondering um how'd that happen plenty of times but besides those things if you just went along with it its a decent movie.

If you've ever watched 'The Descent' this movie might put you to sleep in comparison. While the special effects are great, decent acting, but they didn't make you feel intimate and scared for the characters. It lacked suspense! Also, I didn't connect or care about any of the characters, so when they died, it didn't have much impact. Spend your money on 'The Descent.'
