Caved In: Prehistoric Terror

Great movie involving lying bad guys to get in a cave that was supposed to have raw jewels for the taking. Most of the bad guys were killed and the bugs that were in the cave. The good guys eventually got out with help from the son that found another way into the cave

it a gift for my husband to replace one stolen he loves the movie, searched for days to try and find it.

If you start questioning the logic behind this story your head will explode. These were subterranean bugs, lived in the dark forever, yet, once given the opportunity, they had no trouble dashing for the surface and tracking down people to attack. (Okay, maybe they occasionally turned on the lights below so they could read, sew, cook......because goodness knows electricity is a lot better than lava light).Yes, it was dopey, the plot overly familiar, the bad guys standard fare, the children annoying, the bugs.....well, they were BIG. Other than that, this would be all right for a double feature night, providing the second feature was a whole lot better.

Sci-Fi Channel be damned. i never thought they could ever produce a film worth purchasing, but they have. a truly entertaining and original bug movie.A local is con'd out of his home so that miners can dig in his land for riches. what they find are giant beetles with a thirst for human flesh. meanwhile a family of adventurers move in to the area and begin a cave diving tour. they are soon contracted by mercenaries hoping to find out what happened to the mine unaware of the giant beetles below. they decend into the caves and are shut in by a quake leaving them stranded in a cave with man-eaters. The wife and daughter are on the surface and are quickly under siege from the flesh eating bugs. they must find a way, both those on the surface and those below, to stop the pissed off bugs before its to late.Now the sci-fi channel usually has a 2 million or less budget for thier films and usualy do okey with the budget but really bad in total. this is one of the few films that proves that mix-up. The CG beetles are not bad looking and can pass off as shiny giant bugs most of the time. The acting is minimal at most but has some good backup from christopher atkins and colm meaney of DS9.

I have been around the B-horror movie block enough to tell you that they can get way worse than this movie. At least we have a clean crisp picture, a little gut mutilation, with an unoriginal, yet attention drawing story line. That is all the good I have to say about it though. Now on to the cheese and everything else: What we have here folks is a movie that has a "made for tv quality" feel to it with a lot of bad FX. They used the cheapest computer graphics they could possibly get to invent a swam of giant mutant stag beetles (which in reality are only capable if pinching you and they prefer to eat fruit...but what the heck) They live in a mine that has giant emeralds in the same room as nest, and so the story goes: greedy crooks, hire a friendly cave tour guide and his nice family who soon get tangled into their "get rich quick "scheme. Slowly. Characters (mainly the bad guys) get picked off by the (harmless) stag beetles. At some point you will stop caring because you know how the movie is going to end, and there are no surprises along the way. Everything was "as expected" The acting ranged from ok to terrible. The FX did as well. You will find you self laughing now and than at the acting and the splatter. Let me give you a visual: shot gun blows up beetle, green slime gets thrown on girls hair repeatedly! There is also lack of unique death scenes in this movie. You pretty much see the same stuff over and over again. Disembowelment is only cool the first time you see it!Verdict. If you are REALLY bored and you like those old Sci-Fi movies that you find late at night on the old USA channel, or Sci-Fi channel, than maybe you should....er...ah, never mind, just skip it anyway

this is a great movie it hascreature violence,gore,action.and the most important thing ahappy ending.so do more good reviewsok.

Saw this on SciFi channel one Saturday night (which is always a bad sign as that's when they show their real stinkers). The characters are terribly annoying and foolish. So unless you have some mind-numbing additive on the popcorn, I recommend avoiding.

Great movie....Loved it
