Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

TheLittleSongbird In all honesty, I was not expecting much from this movie, seeing as it was SyFy, but there are some decent actors here so I went ahead. I found Caved In to be a lame movie in most respects, but nowhere near the worst SyFy's done. The only reasons why I didn't rate it any lower are three quite good performances from Angela Featherstone(the best of the cast in my opinion), Christopher Atkins and Marius Chivros. The rest of the cast are bad, Colm Meaney doesn't have much to do and spends the whole movie looking lost or bored and Chelan Simmons is incredibly annoying, doing little more than screaming and other shrill antics. The actors aren't helped by the underdeveloped and stereotypical way their characters are written, or by the clichéd script and the formulaic story that further suffers from lack of tension and suspense and too many scenes to list that were unbelievable. Add to that lighting that distracted from the atmosphere and the setting's authenticity, with scenes being lit too brightly where it should have a dark, claustrophobic feel, and (even for SyFy) terrible artificial-looking effects, and you have a pretty poor movie. Overall, other than three performances, Caved In is not worth bothering with. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Wizard-8 Years ago, when he was one of the heads of PM Entertainment, Richard Pepin directed and produced memorable direct-to-video action movies like EPICENTER. However, his return to directing here is not very good. His strength seems to be with action, not sci-fi and horror, which is what this movie is. He seems to have distanced himself from this movie, with his credit being "Rick Pepin" instead of his normal name. In fairness, the sets and locations don't look too bad, there are some memorable gory moments, and the CGI effects are okay for what must have been a very low budget, as is the case for movies made for the Sci-Fi network. But there's not much more to give praise to. Atkins looks very worn out and does not seem to be very enthusiastic. There are stupid turns in the script, like when the party's first encounter with the bugs not being discussed right after they escape... or the party having *laser rifles* handy... the movie jumping between three plot threads since there's not much excitement in the main thread... and taking forever before the cave party realize they are in serious danger. Pepin, if you're reading this, reunite with your old partner Joseph Merhi and get back to making the kind of movies that made a name for yourself.

Vic_max This movie is pretty formulaic. In fact, you can probably tell what's going to happen and who's going to live and die as soon as you figure out who the main characters are. Nothing else really happens. I rate it average because it wasn't reprehensibly bad (makes you cringe with dislike), like some bad movies are.The story involves the search for emeralds located in an old, abandoned mine. There is a map and a warning of bad creatures that are also located where the emeralds are. The bad guys have the map and hire an unsuspecting American guide (Atkins) to help them get it - and the story progresses from there.If you can figure out what's going to happen according to standard formulaic sci-fi/horror plots, you need not see this movie.

siderite I see the beginning of a beautiful friendship: sci-fi recipe films and cheap Romanian actors and studios. I actually watched this to see what Romanian actors would do and, unfortunately, they all did horribly. I can't really say that Monica Barladeanu played badly, given that the scenes with her were either she looking beautiful, looking interested and nodding to what a guy is saying, either screaming. Marius Chivu wasn't completely awful either. Colm Meaney was his usual self, demoted from starship engineer to silly bad guy, while everybody else just played stupid, unrealistic roles and stinking at it.OK, the plot: giant bugs live underground, but they only get out when Americans come near the cave. It's a natural mutation that occurred somewhere in ancient Egypt, so maybe they are attracted to Jews, not Americans. Anyway, these smart bugs realized that living individually, having a normal size and eating dung is not a good way of life, therefore they elected a queen, covered her in expensive jewelry and proceeded on obeying her every command. Come on! There is no plot! Giant bugs, stupid weapons, women screaming, some entrails and blood, bugs stick together for the explosive finale, the end.Conclusion: not even cult status bad. It's a mediocre type of film, the kind of movie where all extras are Romanian, but have German or French names for whatever reason. Stay away from it.
