Caved In: Prehistoric Terror (2006)

The Worst Film Ever

Just perfect...

A different way of telling a story

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Other reviewers re-tell the plot here but I won't because I consider that a spoiler. This is a pretty good science-fiction/horror movie with likable actors portraying a family and some really nasty bad guys. I couldn't help but think the lead actor looks a lot like actor Mark Hamill.The sets are great and the dangers lurking will give you the creeps. The music score is appropriate for the film, with tonalities equal to the menace affecting the characters.Seven out of ten stars for being well-made, including the special effects, which are quite realistic and detailed.

Plenty of action for fans of these big mutated bug creature movies. Since the focus is just to showcase the inflated insects chasing and feeding on screaming extras, the feeble plot full of familiar devices really doesn't hurt. It's low budget stuff all the way, but fun.Many Sci-Fi channel flicks like to mix some "bad victims who deserve to die in a poetic justice way and you can't wait until they get it" with some "good innocent victims in the wrong place at the wrong time who ought to live but some of them don't" types. This routine of course insures plenty of blood, and so it is this time: crooks want to get at some valuable jewels or something underground in a mine somewhere, and trick a guy into leading them to it. Said guy has teen daughters, etc. Guess what? You'll never guess! Giant bugs are there, too! The bugs are cheaply rendered, the CGI animation look like somebody glued a magazine photo of a bug on your TV screen, and slid it around with a pencil. Familiar territory, and most of the actors failed Drama 1A. But it still can entertain if you take it for what it is, campy fast food b-budget sci-fi/horror.

It is definitely one of the worst TV movies I've seen on sci-fi ever i wish i wouldn't have sat though it but ever time i got ready to walk away something interesting would happen so u could say its a good movie to watch once but thats about it I also didn't really like the idea of only the family and the one girl surviving or the fact of the gun being a Lazar. i mean come on could have made it a little more realistic but its a movie and the thought of huge bugs being around all them years and never coming up to the surface is really a stupid idea bugs dig the had all them tunnels but never been to the surface thats stupid the needed to make it seem like that could live on the surface for some reason i don't know watch it if u dare

This has got to be one of the worst movies I have seen in a while. I was severely disappointed with this movie as I'm all for watching the DVD's that only have a couple of copies on the shelf at the DVD store as they're quite often rare gems, but this was one of the exceptions.This is a classic, badly made B grade movie: Dodgy no-name, b-grade actors with terrible clichéd lines that can't act, amateur designed CG beetles that move jerkily and don't seam in with the movie at all, ghastly and unrealistic lighting (is meant to be 2000ft below ground but you can see everything like they're out in the middle of a summers day), crappy fake/unrealistic set design (I've seen better at a theatre production!), terrible fake, stupid gore shots put in only for shock value to cover the gaping fact that the plot is shockingly badly written and there is no substance to it & shocking cinematography. The director wants his face slapped! My final comment would be: if you want a good laugh at a terrible movie, get this out, otherwise, leave well alone!
