Synopsis, Review and Trailer
Romania - An inaccessible area in the heart of the forest and an abbey set between rock walls. seems almost a mirage, a vision not so great in the midst of desolation, with its dome and the frescoes peeling but still visible. The look of total abandonment in which pay is even more apparent inside. A small group of men, crossed the threshold of its great door, that does not see human footprints in a long time. The taste of dust and mystery that exists in that place, do not stop their exploration, all is suffused with ominous and dark beauty.
A large painting in an area of \u200b\u200bthe floor, depicting enigmatic Knights Templar and horrific images of mythological figures, in what appears to be a bloody battle. A hidden entrance to the caves. It would have been better not to venture there, a sudden collapse will sweep them away.
Many years later, the same place. A group of cavers divers preparing to dive into a mysterious access, located just below that ancient church now fall. Their intervention was requested by some scientists of the place. They have to explore the enormous hidden cavity in the heart of the earth, the experts have located deep in a huge and intends to explore the cave ecosystem. The team is made up of two brothers, Tyler and Jack, both professional cavers, well known for skill and professionalism. Alongside nell'adrenalinica business, there are also Buchanan, Charlie and two women. They are all among the best biologists and divers in the world, equipped with modern equipment for diving, including a special respirator that allows you to stay underwater for twenty-four hours later. 
- Questo film del 2005 ha segnato il debutto alla regia di Bruce Hunt, in precedenza si era occupato di spot pubblicitari, dando prova di creatività e talento. Anche la pellicola in questione ha beneficiato di tali doti artistiche.
Ho trovato meravigliose le ambientazioni, non c'è parola migliore per descrivere le immagini di suggestive grotte, pareti a strapiombo, sentieri impervi, cunicoli sommersi, ed altro ancora. La telecamera coglie al meglio il bello e l’inquietante di ogni singolo ravine, managing to convey emotions. The artificial light of the cavers, illuminates the immense walls of the irregular structure, stalactites and stalagmites stand out in fanciful shapes bloated, witnesses to the grand design of nature and the slow passing of time.
addition to the bare limestone rock, the water is the dominant element of the scene. The dripping water is felt, subtle but present in non-flooded, dark or cold and firm, deep and dangerous in stormy swirl of fast current of a waterfall, or ice, as white and cold in the hollow of a natural underground labyrinth. Always full of mystery, especially when it is crossed by divers underwater.
On the other hand, seems almost mystical and full of evil atmosphere, a large cave flooded with vapors of methane, and revived by the glitter left small spontaneous fires.
In this context of superlative beauty, the story, may seem insignificant, to take second place, dominated and won by the perfection of the scene that alone is already worth the entire film. In fact, the plot is very intricate but overall it manages to keep the attention of the viewer, though, in my opinion, better characterization would give better results.
Here the group plays a major role but the film rarely pauses enough to show the emotions of each individual individual, with the result of us know too little of the various parties. It does not give undue importance to the psychological reactions of everyone, he prefers to focus on the impact of a hostile world can have on them, the instinct of survival in such situations leads to overshadow the fear because it is too There is going ahead, with a brisk pace, struggling with time passing quickly, because only there can be standing together in salvation.
The story can not fail to reflect some aspects of biology, about how life can take different aspects if isolated from the rest of the world and know how living organisms adapt beautifully even at the most extreme atrophy and other developing sensory organs that are not needed, depending on the environments in which they occur.
Overall a fascinating film, full of danger breathtaking scenes, special effects of high quality. All punctuated by a soundtrack that adds to the tension of the most dramatic moments, with a rhythmic music, sometimes deliberately obsessive and fast. Its creation was the work of Reinhold Heil and Klimek Jhnny, both musicians with various works of considerable importance. The environment is worthy of praise that I have described above are not the result of a rough and lucky choice, but the end product of a careful research and attention to detail.
Curiosity
- The shooting, carried out largely in Bucharest, Romania, have asked a lot of work to rebuild in the studies of the place, where you can fit a set shooting the scenes of the caves. For the occasion of the large containers were used. In particular those sports more dangerous, had also set up a huge pool.
- Before the works of registration, all had to follow a grueling training, which has also required the help and advice of scholars of various kinds.
- The underwater shots were mostly made by those skilled in the field, already accustomed to carry out services for many underwater documentaries.
- In Mexico, Yucatan, the underwater scenes were shot in a cave.
- The story told in the movie is fictional but was inspired by the discoveries made in just Romania, where the caves have been found so far unexplored, " Movila Caves", which bear an ecosystem interesting, with forms of life previously unknown, including huge millipedes and strange amphibians. Many of those depths are still inaccessible.
Council on film at all, especially to those who love science fiction genre with some points of horror, or simply those who want to dive into the many striking images.
- Duration of film: one hour and forty minutes.
