      Another "Sci-Fi Horror" that failed perfectly

      Before "The Devil's Nest", we have seen many kinds of failed sci-fi horror films. The failures of these purely commercial failure films of similar genres are different. Of course, the failure here refers to the failure of the business side.

      Most of these failed movies are too boring, bad script, good popcorn movies, but they are made as dull as the avant-garde or post-modern art movies of the art masters, and there is no exciting plot for a long time, which makes people drowsy and...

      bad cave

      1. The plot is quite compact. There will be a small climax in five to ten minutes, the sneak attack of new creatures, and the loss of life of the expedition team members.
      2. There is a lens that observes the expedition members from the perspective of new creatures, imitating the aliens in Arno's "Predator".
      3. The new organisms in the independent evolution system are located by sound waves and have poor vision, which is understandable because this closed system is a hole and dark. One...

      VSSF in the movie

      The group of people who first drove the truck to the church was about to explode the floor. There was a close-up of "A person with a tattoo on his arm-tattoo engraved with VSSF".
      Later, when he started to escape, the photographer with the Asian face was killed by the monster and there was a close-up shot of "The monster is also engraved with VSSF." Does
      this mean that people who enter the cave and become infected with parasites will become flying monsters?
      In the end, the pupil...

      The unknown world is terrible-The Cave (2005)

      It’s good to watch this film from the perspective of lens application and special effects. Those who are not careful really have to look back at the opening plot, the constantly appearing VSSF mark and the winged pattern on the soles of the feet at the time. Understand how much this has to do with the existence of monsters.
             One theory is that the monster was mutated by the human beings who were exploring at the time, because someone had a VSSF tattoo on his body when he entered....

      the cave


      Strictly speaking, the cave is not a film that is very related to outdoor sports. It contains too many commercial elements and the theme of the film. It does not promote outdoor sports or promote the outdoor spirit. It is a complete Hollywood disaster film. However, the characters inside are a group of outstanding outdoor masters. Except for the two biologists and photographers, the others are good divers and rock climbers. They use this as work and as fun. They are strong and muscular. It...

      The male version of "Invasion of Darkness", other than that, I don't know how to say it. The plot is the same. Adventure in an unknown cave. The team members are all equipped with high-tech exploration equipment, but they don't have weapons. Don't ask why that is the case. capricious! Then they must encounter unknown creatures, and then hang up one by one, and finally the heroine with the aura of immortality escapes smoothly, and the story...

    Movie plot

    Deep in the dense forests of Romania, a group of scientists who went on an expedition accidentally discovered the ruins of an ancient temple in the 13th century. After further investigation, they found that the temple was built above the entrance of a huge underground cave. The local biologists believed that there might be some mysterious ecological system hidden in the cave, so they hired a group of American cave explorers to...

    Shooting process

    Actors must not only focus on performance, but also have enough physical fitness to cope with swimming, diving and climbing. Among them, only learning to use a rebreather requires 6 weeks, and the physical energy is extremely exhausted.
    In order to make the film more credible, the creative team hired a number of cave divers as consultants. Jill Haynes, who served as the film's underwater technical consultant, was responsible for...
