Critics Consensus

Despite its stylized and impressive sets, this horror-monster movie mish-mash suffers from endless cliches and wildly implausible plotlines.

If the creature in Alien had proliferated like the movie’s knockoffs, mankind would never have survived.

Not only is Patrick Tatopoulos' (I, Robot) creature design laughable, but the actors (other than Hauser who somehow manages to make it through unscathed) give some of most shockingly awful performances I've seen all year.

Rated: 1/4

ComingSoon.net

The Cave is a decently crafted but unoriginal and uninspiring creature feature with a few moments of true entertainment that the rest of the film never matches up to.

Rated: 5/10

Replete with winged undersea cave monsters, unlikely mountain climbing heroics and a mutating microbe that turns its victims into creatures-in-waiting "The Cave" is a paint-by-numbers thriller lacking in pigment.

Rated: C-

This movie definitely doesn’t deserve the 1 star reviews. It definitely has it moments of excitement, and the set/filming is extremely impressive. Haters gonna hate, tators gonna tate.

This was a really good movie. I don't know why it got such low scores. I recommend it to anyone who likes creature features.
