nick s Similar sort of quality as a fan film. The sets and monster costumes were reminiscent of early Star Trek. The dialogue between characters was really hokey and only served to explain the plot to the audience. I gave it a chance because it had Dave from The Detectives, and though he put in a good effort he couldn't elevate this weak offering. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Army and civilian research anthropologist team uncover caverns in Belize home to an unknown underground civilization that is unfortunately strategically located for Army sonar experiments. Relatively unknown film surpasses limited expectations, especially after a rather dubious opening scene. Worth a look if you can find it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Military and archeological teams jointly explore a vast network of newly discovered caves in Belize. The site is ideal for a transmitter for the army but also intrudes on the home of a race of albino-like people. You won't find too many mercenaries that are as friendly or good-natured as Wolf. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Military and archeological teams jointly explore a vast network of newly discovered caves in Belize only to find that they are intruding on the home of a race of albino-like people. Wolf seemed pretty friendly for a mercenary. I was never quite sure why the army needed to put their transmitter in a cave in the first place. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A team of anthropologists and U.S military personnel discover a new cave system in central America and encounter a hostile race of albino people after venturing inside. I do enjoy subterranean horror films and this one was quite fun despite being cheesy and a little odd once we are shown just what is waiting below. It's tame but entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Never heard of this movie? Well there is a reason HA! Not a horrible film just a really stupid storyline. Very hard to find and it took me awhile to find it as well. But for those 80's chessefest weekends you can't go wrong! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
