Edward Hernandez332 said:Nobody panics? Seriously, what movie were you watching? Look, you aren't the only one who missed the panic, the screaming, and the crying from most of the girls in the cave. Those girls who were actually trying to defend themselves—they had plenty of reasons to act that way.
As for getting to know the characters, personally, I thought the intro was solid. I had zero trouble figuring out everyone's deal just through that banter they had in the cabin.

Look, you can have your take, and I'll stick to mine.
To me, the whole thing just felt unconvincing.
That attack on the girl who actually led them there was pretty weak and lacked any real tension.
At least, in my book.

Spoiler alert:
When their only known exit gets blocked, they're all just totally fine with it,
like, "oh well, let's go see if there's another way out"... man, I just wasn't feeling it.🤷

Why are the characters so poorly written?

Well, because you barely get enough screen time to actually "get to know" them, let alone recognize who's who.
To me, they all felt identical, aside from the lead girl and the wild one;
everyone else just blurred together, and honestly, I couldn't even bother memorizing their names since there were so many.
Plus, they’re all way too cool when things start going south—like, nobody's actually panicking, nothing.
One little mishap happens to one of them and suddenly it's fine? Yeah, right. If it were real, they'd be losing their minds and screaming bloody murder..

Just my two cents, so don't come at me if you didn't feel the same way..🤷

Joshua Ramirez2 said:It’s a decent enough movie, but honestly, I didn't find it quite as groundbreaking as everyone else seems to claim. The opening really hooks you—it's great—but once the monsters actually show up, the whole thing just devolves into your typical, run-of-the-mill gore fest.

*Possible spoiler alert?*

I'm with you.
Watching them struggle through those cramped tunnels was actually more nauseating than anything else
since there’s zero ventilation, no windows, and absolutely no light.
That sense of claustrophobia hit me way harder and felt much more intense than the rest of the movie.
*Especially with those mutated fish-men, bats, or whatever they were supposed to be.
It's pretty predictable, too—way too many female characters and the writing for them is just weak.
I also agree with what you said about those "creatures" being a bit underwhelming when it comes to their actual hunting skills
and I'm really hoping it was all just some hallucination the women were having.*

The ending worked for me, though.
Yeah, for me it's easily one of the better parts, right up there with those first few minutes.
