Sanctum

"The key to enjoying Sanctum is to look, not listen."

"Despite having characters as shallow as its caves are bottomless and a plot as predictable as 127 Hours, this suspenseful actioner delivers seat-edge thrills in accomplished goggle-vision."

"The director Alister Grierson, not grasping that bad dialogue is sometimes best delivered quietly, encourages his actors to shout and thrash about, and so they do, like fish out of water and performers out of their depth."

"Sanctum tells the story of a terrifying adventure in an incompetent way. Some of it is exciting, the ending is involving, and all of it is a poster child for the horrors of 3-D used badly."

"Banal dialogue, over-modulated performances and melodramatic scoring combine forces to sink the stirringly photographed proceedings quicker than that treacherous flash flood."

"Workmanlike suspenser, with plenty of cold water but sparse chills. When it comes to James Cameron scuba thrillers, "The Abyss" still has the edge."

"Schlock horror and bad dialogue mar 3D caving drama, says our reviewer"
