Mark (Jamie Costa) was on his way home to his family when an earthquake hits, and ... when he comes to he finds himself buries under rubble but still alive. And even though he's severely injured, his condition is not life-threatening and he can move around. And heck, even his phone is in working order, but all lines are so busy due to the earthquake, he doesn't get through to ayone. With no other option, he decides to look for a way out on his own, and soon bumps into Kate (Emalia), who like him is severely but not life-threateningly injured and who's able to move around. And while he considers her a godsent as this way they can help each other to get out of their predicament, she doesn't trust him, even pulls a gun at him, and lets on she knows more about what's going on than he might even suspect - which intrigues Mark ... until she starts talking about man-eating underground monsters. This Mark takes for rubbish of course, until they find themselves face to face with a human-sized giant spider, and its intentions are by no means benign ..

A very cool blend of survival horror and creature feature, a film that not only features pretty impressive creatures but that also builds suspense by only gradually revealing them while using its limited sets to make the claustrophobia of the lead characters palpable. And of course, properly fleshing out the lead characters helps making them relatable, as do the two very capable lead actors, so in all this is a very entertaining genre ride, with an ending that sure packs an extra punch.
