I think in general terms this was a great flick, a very realistic story that begin in a high spirit note straigth to desperation and pure madness, Great acting, I strongly recomend.

Horror story filled with suspense , relentless terror , nudism , profanity , bad language and lots of gore and blood . This frightening Spanish movie concerns about a young group , being trapped into claustrophobic caves . As a group of 5 friends formed by Marta Castellote as Celia , Xoel Fernández as Carlos , Eva García-Vacas as Begoña , Marcos Ortiz as Jaco and Jorge Páez as Iván gather together on holiday to Island Formentera , in the Balearic Islands . Later on , the group goes for a caving hick . Shortly after , they encounter a cave entrance , which they decide to explore . After some exploring deep underground , the expedition gets horribly worse when they become lost , rockfall collapse and they don't find the dark way out . After delivering further into the cavern , things go awry . This is one of the cheapest horror movies of the last years and it contains thrills , chills , cannibalism , blood and gore . Regular film features an unknown cast , being shot on location in Formentera, Balearic Islands, Spain . It packs a sinister , realistic and horrifying atmosphere , full of eerie scenes by means of shaky camera as well as the former Spanish film titled ¨REC¨ and followings ; as ¨La Cueva¨ itself is realized in similar premise to the Spanish originals . ¨Alfredo Montero's La Cueva¨ was shot with camera over shoulders , in documentary style and itself takes place from point of sight from cameraman . It was shot in ¨Rec¨ style that was followed by Rec II and Rec III , Genesis , all of them written/produced/directed by Paco Plaza and Jaume Balaguero , two magnificent experts on terror genre . And it had an American remake : ¨Quarantine¨ , a solid film , being continued by ¨Quarantine 2¨ . ¨La Cueva¨ or ¨The cave¨ it is an acceptable movie but mediocre , a so-so terror story plenty of suspense , merciless horror , plenty of screams , shocks and tension and in thrilling style . The film takes parts here and there from other films as ¨The Descent¨(2005) , ¨The Cave¨(2005) and , of course , ¨Rec¨ saga . The horror moments are compactly made and fast-moving in which the brutal instincts of survival of the human beings are well shown , by being seen from the POv of a camera that one of the boys is holding . Well worth seeing if you like videos and shaky cameras , such us : ¨Blair witch project¨, ¨28 Days/Weeks¨ and ¨Cloverfield¨ . Others films dealing with this sub-genre about people caught in caves are the followings : ¨Sub-human¨ (1972) by Gary Sherman with Donald Pleasence , Norman Rossington , David Ladd ; ¨What wait below¨ (1985) by Don Sharp with Robert Powell , Timothy Bottoms , Lisa Blount , Anne Heywood , Richard Johnson . And recently : ¨The cave¨ by Brian Hunt with Cole Houser , Piper Perabo , Eddie Cibrian , Rick Ravanello ; ¨The descent¨(2005) by Neil Marshall with Alex Reid , Natalie Mendoza , Shauna MacDonald , both them dealing with people caught into caverns and besieged , chased , attacked by packs of carnivorous , bloodthirsty , crawling creatures are waiting for them .

It's again found footage and it's again poor decision making time. But if you can overlook those things, you might be able to "enjoy" a claustrophobic cave movie. "In Darkness we fall" as the English title goes a bit further than the original title. Still it's not much of a spoiler considering the nature of the movie.You cannot really judge the "acting" in this, but you do have your usual bunch of friends exploring and having fun, until everything goes downhill (no pun intended). The camera is pretty good and might be able to make you nervous for all the right reasons. If the movie would've been able to make a better case/story of the people getting places, this might actually really be good. It's decent horror, nothing more, nothing less

Why Don't They Just Rewind Their Camcorder to find the way back Out of the cave!!?? I'm meant to write 10 lines but it's impossible. I speak some Spanish but this movie is more visual. As soon as i saw Filmax i knew it was going to be as good as Rec. The Spanish have never let me down with original horror regardless of what form it takes. But believe me once you have seen this you will know what i meant by my first sentence! High quality camera-work and excellent ,sometimes too excellent, acting by the protagonists. But it makes you want to climb into the screen and get them out yourself. You will see what i mean!But we have a lot to learn and a long way to go before we can take everyday situations and make them as horrifying as the Spanish are now so frequently doing, and doing damn well!
