In the misty Welsh wilderness, Olivia Wheeler and her closest friends search for her missing mother, who vanished investigating the fabled Skirred caves--rumored home of the Bone Keeper; a creature that devours any living soul who enters the cave system. Joined by a fame-hungry vlogger and discarding the warnings of a renowned professor, they venture into the depths, uncovering claw-marked walls, ancient slime, and echoes of earlier explorers. As the caves tighten their grip, fear turns to terror. Something alive and intelligent is waiting in the dark--and it's not planning on letting them leave.

At times this horror film feels like a pastiche of the genre, but isn't particularly funny or openly self-referential. Go to Full Review

Borrowing the basic underground setting of The Descent, then spicing things up with elements from The Thing, it is frequently bad but never boring. Go to Full Review
