      Audience Member I enjoyed this movie. A family friendly kids movie for the most part. The movie set is pretty small, and overall the movie has a small environment. I wouldn't watch it expecting anything fantastic. Itss not a very complex movie. But for kids that may not have seen complicated movies yet, solving the mystery may be fun. Its worth seeing with the kids. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a film that intrigued me, because of how original it seemed to be, but in the end I was sadly disappointed. The story follows a twelve year old boy who is sent to Ireland to live with distant relatives for the Summer. Once in this small coastal village, he learns that for decades people have claimed to have heard strange noises coming from a cave underneath the cemetery. When I first heard about this film, I thought it could be a hidden gem. I knew it would be someone strange, but I really had no idea just how strange it would be. The lead is newcomer, Kevin Novotny, and he did a pretty good job, especially in his first film. Unfortunately his performance is wasted in a film that is very slow and really doesn't go anywhere. The dialogue, the town, and the characters were very weird and the direction was a joke! As soon as something interesting started, the film would jump to something else that really doesn't fit with anything else. Roy doesn't even have the courage to enter the cave until the last fifteen minutes of the movie and once he does, what he finds is extremely stupid. Novotny's performance aside, the only positive thing I can say about this film was that it wasn't predictable, because you really couldn't figure out what the hell was going on half the time. The Secret of The Cave is one that you really won't care about, featured in a film full of mumbled lines and oddballs, it seemed interesting, but it's not, you can most definitely skip this one. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member started skiw,,,,but had nice overall story Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring- even the kids fell asleep. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member rather strange... it had a really good point, but the way they decided to have it unfold wasn't the best i hope i never meet village people like them. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Almost like a young, male Nancy Drew movie. Family entertainment on a boring Sunday. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
