Five "Cave Creature Action" Stars
Streaming service: Tubi
Date of movie: 2005
Cast (Main): Natalie Mendoza (Juno), Shauna McDonald (Sarah), MyAnna Buring (Sam), Alex Reid (Beth), Saskia Mulder (Rebecca), and Nora-Jane Noone (Holly)
Synopsis of story:
Six friends go on a cave exploration far underground which leads to becoming trapped in an area that is inhabited by strange creatures.
Thoughts:
I think I saw this movie not long after it came out but don't remember much of it so it was almost like watching it for the first time. This movie has tons of tension, anxiety, creature action when the friends finally get into that part of the cave with the creatures and lots of claustrophobia feelings while watching it too.
The creatures reminded me of a twisted version of Gollum in LOTR as that is what they almost looked like to me body wise.
Normally I will munch on popcorn or cookies or some kind of snacks but I felt myself not wanting to eat anything as I was too tensed up but I was drinking water a lot as it seemed that they were making me thirsty with their cave traveling! lol
All in all this movie kept me suspended in the cave with the friends and made me go right away to binge watch the second movie as if I am going to stay in "cave exploring mode" then I might as well do a binge watch. lol

Four "Cave Creature More Action" Stars
Streaming service: Tubi
Date of movie: 2009
Cast (Main): Shauna McDonald (Sarah), Natalie Mendoza (Juno), Douglas Hodge (Dan), Krysten Cummings (Rios), Gavan O'Herlihy (Vaines) and Josh Dallas (Greg).
Synopsis of story:
No one believes Sarah when she tells her story about the cave creatures and how she lost her friends down in the caves so rescuers decide to go into the caves anyway to search and rescue survivors if there are any.
Thoughts:
This movie I had not seen but the tension and suspense were still high for me - more for the claustrophobia feelings too but I felt that the characters in this one just were doing some stupid stuff. The action was still good but for some reason I felt that the movie wasn't moving along fast enough like the first movie.
The creature action seemed to move fast but the character movement through the caves seemed slower.
Still it wasn't a bad follow up sequel to the first movie but for me it wasn't five stars either like the first movie.
