Why it’s a Saturday Special

It was critically acclaimed and it's still drawing plenty of interest, despite a box office flop. A strong pick for the weekend.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and adventure fans. If you loved Last Breath, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 15 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

A carefree vacation turns into a desperate race against time when a group of lifelong friends must unite to save one of their own from a notoriously perilous, uncharted abyss deep within the Guna Caves.
