Secret of the Cave (2006)
Great Family Film, That gets better the more you watch
I work in a video store and am required to watch movies in order to advise customers. So I brought The Secret of the Cave home with me unsure of what it was going to be like. I really thought it was going to be a cheesy poorly written and directed film. I was very impressed starting from the opening scene which shows the beautiful Irish seaside. To the realness of a hurting child going through divorce (I also thought that the boy who played Roy was a little to dark to be Irish, I thought that his mother would have been Native American.) As a mother and a Christian (I am not seventh day Adventist) I am constantly looking for movies that my whole family can enjoy together. And this is one of those. As I watched this movie I was reminded of myself watching Escape From Witch Mountian as a child. It has that kind of innocence about it.
I was also impressed when I found out that this film was done mostly by students at a college. I can't wait to see what other projects they come out with.
Overall a very excellent job. Movie worth renting. It's not the another movie about a mass murder, or a teenage love movie. It doesn't have Will Ferrell any where in the credits. And that's what makes this movie worth watching...it's original.
