Recipe for this movie: Start off with "The Descent" Replace cast of girls with one likable actress and others no one will care about Change setting to jungle Make the bat-like creatures into monkey-like creatures, but keep the blindness and echo-location because, you know, monkeys are like that too. End on a Hollywood happy note
If it wasn't so similar to "The Descent" or had come out first, I probably would have like it more. It didn't have the grittiness, the terror, the bad ass lead character. On top of that, the plot is pretty obvious and your typical Hollywood formula. It just doesn't measure up. It's not a bad movie, it just doesn't have any of the qualities that made "The Descent" so great.
