Miss (big time) – Starring Cole Hauser, Piper Perabo, Daniel Dae Kim

Spelunkers explore a cave that has been uncharted. Once they are trapped inside the cave they find that they are not alone. Now it is a race against time to find an exit and escape the ultimate evil that is hunting them.

I found that this movie is a cheaper version of the film Alien vs. Predator. In fact, everything about this movie had Alien vs. Predator written all over it. Let’s do a venn diagram comparison to show how these movies are different and how they are alike. * Since I am not savvy when it comes to graphics on the internet, we will have to settle for a list of how they are different and how they are alike.*

Differences:

  1. The Cave spelunkers don’t really have a mission as to why they are exploring this cave. They are just doing it for their love of caves in general.
  2. The creatures actually fly.
  3. There is no real back-story as to how these creatures came to be.
  4. A single species of predator involved (only an P not an A and P).
  5. If you are a victim of the predator, you will eventually morph into the predator.

Similarities:

  1. B-list actors.
  2. Both movies take place underground.
  3. Both are just as good as The Vertical Limit.
  4. Main goal for producers – to make a lot of money.
  5. They fall into the same film genre- Horror.
  6. Their predators kill people.
  7. They both suck.
  8. They rob young, poor people, like myself, who are looking for a smart and scary horror or thriller film.

When I see big budget movies like this being made it makes me sad to think that there is a really talented writer or producer out there who is just waiting to be given a chance. Movies like this will never give the young hopeful a chance because movies like this prove that people who see them are willing to throw their money away on crap. Aye. It is sad to think that I fall into that category, but at least I know that I did not actually pay for my own movie ticket. That being said… the bottom line is: Take a wild guess, what do you think?

P.S. Cole Hauser is the poor man’s Gary Sinise.
