My analogy of the cave is....stay out!

I felt that this took the proper amount of time in revealing the secrets that lie beneath the surface in Nicaragua's system of caves, including deadly creatures and albino mole people who actually look like aliens from another world. The film stars with obstacles between archeologists and the military who claim that they just want to make sure that the caves are safe before people can go down. Once the group gets down there, it's obvious that they will quickly regret that decision because getting out is much more difficult than getting in.

It's pretty neat what white pancake makeup can do, with the albino resembling Frankenstein's creature. That being said, unintentional chuckles are minimum, and the cast (a mixture of British and American actors) keeps straight faces. Led by Robert Powell, Lisa Blount and Timothy Bottoms, they take their parts seriously, and it did make the point of never underestimate the secrets of our universe that perhaps we're not supposed to uncover.
