I love a good B movie and this was firmly at the bottom end of the scale.
I should have known as soon as I saw Danny Trejo's name. He's the kiss of death for any film.
The dialogue is terrible. The opening scene to introduce us to the cast, is unbelievably bad. Some of the acting is sub-par. The effect aren't great... but somehow, if you take all that into consideration and know what you're going in to, it's bearable. There's just too much creeping through the caves whispering to each other and not hearing gunshots around the corner, despite being deep in a cave system.
I opened with 'the dialogue is terrible', but it's well worth enduring this film just to bear witness to Nick Chinlund perfectly delivering what might be the best action movie one-liner in cinema history, just before his climactic fight.
All in all, it's a fairly decent, low budget, monster flick, as long as you go into it knowing what to expect.
