The Cave ★ 2005 (PG-13)

Cut from the same cloth as the hundred or so other films you've seen that were called “The (insert scary place or thing here).” All of the essential stereotypes are present, so everyone gets a character to relate to, hate, or both. Explorers Jack (Hauser) and Tyler (Cibrian) assemble a team of cavers, divers and scientists to explore a massive network of caves beneath a medieval Romanian church. As they descend into the cave it becomes clear that they have company in the form of hideous flying monsters. 97m/C DVD, UMD . US Cole Hauser, Morris Chestnut, Eddie Cibrian, Marcel Iures, Daniel Dae Kim, Lena Headey, Piper Perabo, Rick Ravanello, Kieran Darcy-Smith; D: Bruce Hunt; W: Michael Steinberg, Tegan West; C: Emery Ross; M: Johnny Klimek, Reinhold Heil.
