An okay movie. The setup was extremely flimsy compared to the creepypasta, and had many elements that I think were just there to try and pad the story out and make it more interesting. The introduction of family, brotherly squabbling, and a special needs uncle were not necessary at all. The end of the film is great, but the real climax of it was dumb and nonsensical and came out of left field. Spoiler, the sounds in the cave were coming from weird humanoid cave creatures that are covered in rotting flesh or poop or something. They smell bad and this is only conveyed by Ted throwing up; no one ever actually says "oh my god that smells so bad, what is that".
The main difference between this and the creepypasta is obvious. The creepypasta was incredibly mundane until it very suddenly wasn't, and left most of it to the reader's imagination, then stopped with the reader left to assume the worst. The movie functions like a low-budget horror movie, with jumpscares, monsters, interpersonal drama, a few humorous moments, and then a scary-action ending.
This wasn't a bad movie! I thought the acting was pretty good, and the sound design worked extremely well. The cave, while not exactly like the source material, was appropriately claustrophobic, and more admirable for being built on a set. It just injected several elements to the plot that didn't need to be there. Worth a view once if you like the creepypasta, and don't go in expecting 10-star cinema. I was working an online jigsaw puzzle alongside the movie, if that tells you anything about how engaged in it I was.
awful, lol. bad acting and characters have 0 charisma

This movie isn't a big hit, and I wouldn't call it a horror movie either. The film is about two brothers who see a hole in a cave and so they try to dig a hole so that they can fit in there and see what is there. Strange sounds are heard from the cave. And as everyone is probably waiting for, there are monsters that aren't very good and not scary at all. The only thing you hear is the furious brothers who scream so much in the film that it evokes an artificial feeling from the film. You can't talk about fear here at all. If you are expecting some pours or freezing in your back, then definitely do not expect this from this film. The film is sometimes boring and even lifeless. The film has no interesting plot and my 5 star rating is a lot with narrowed eyes. The description of the film is quite interesting, but unfortunately it is the only thing that is at least a little interesting in this horror. The content of the film is no longer very interesting.
