In Chile, a group of travelers who are in an underground nightclub when a massive earthquake hits quickly learn that reaching the surface is just the beginning of their nightmare. After an earthquake erupts in Chile, tourist discover that a neighboring prison in the area collapsed in the event, and all surviving criminals managed to break free. Soon they learn that the most terrifying thing, more threatening that Mother Nature, is what she created. i think Eli Roth gets a raw deal, someone doesn't like him, or is a really bad advertiser??? this movie is really scary, and good! it is very real in terms of what people do in times of catastrophe….sad, but scary!! this movie never came to a theater here, i know trhat. i saw Eli"s other flick, Green Inferno and omg! that movie led me to the advertizsment for this one. they both are so great i bought them both on DVD! PLUS the actress that plays monica is so beautiful! you actually root foe all of these people cuz they are so much like everyone else. so much like one of you in cases of emergency. everyone did a great job! 10 stars! A very long, drawn out, protracted, undiluted sulphuric acid bath would have been preferable to having to endure this complete waste of time and money. <br/><br/>Perhaps the producers should have considered donating the money they spent on this disaster(of a) movie to tsunami or earthquake victims instead of churning out this pointless, charmless, abhorrent nonsense.<br/><br/>This film lacks pretty much every element a quality horror or disaster film should include. The build up of tension and suspense is completely ignored or handled so badly that it is likely most viewers will be more concerned by how they may be travelling home than anything on screen. The small twist is so laughably transparent and pointless the writers could have left the character out of the script entirely.<br/><br/>The tone of the film does not seem to have been considered at all. We are treated to effects that are at times deliberately (I hope)comical which is in stark contrast to the needless, protracted and graphic rape scene and unnecessary cheap shock shots of dead babies.<br/><br/>It has been a long time since a film got my back up as much as this and I find it amazing that it was ever released. At first, it’s all fun and games whenever somebody gets hurt, but that’s not enough in and of itself to sustain the movie’s tension. We’re left waiting for characters to die off without much of a vested interest in anyone’s survival.
