With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who's ever wondered how they'd survive and anyone who's already planned their apocalypse hideout. The tension comes from simply getting through the next day. Liked Predator or Resident Evil? This is a good next one. The undead are the backdrop; how people treat each other is the real story.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
In 1590, Coronado dispatched a division of one thousand men to find El Dorado, the legendary city of gold. Those men were never seen again. While searching some Baja peninsula caves as part of an archeological expedition, a university professor and his students unwittingly unleash a long dormant curse. They soon find themselves in a life or death battle with an army of skeletal warriors, the undead remnants of Coronado's conquistadors.
