The Cave (2005)
Synopsis
Thirty years ago, in the Carpathians Mountains of Romania, a group of explorers blows an entrance to a cave hidden under a church, but the explosion causes a landslide and they become trapped inside.
In the present days, the expedition leaded by Dr. Nicolai and his assistant, Dr. Kathryn are exploring the place and they find the access through an underwater river, requesting the experienced cave divers team leaded by Jack. Dr. Nicolai discovers that, in accordance with the local legend, the church was built to seal the cave as a display of God's protective power, and that Templar Knights entered the cave to fight winged demons.
When the group reaches a cave though a tunnel one mile below and three miles in, a creature attacks one of the members and his breathing apparatus explodes, collapsing the tunnel and trapping the group in the cave. Sooner they realize that they are the rescue team and they have to find an exit to survive from the attack of the monsters.

Among the species found was a 10cm centipede with a poisonous bite. There was nothing the size of the creature in the movie, but in theory there is not a limit for the size of animals living down there.

Lena Headey Quotes
• "That was crazy! It was three months in the water in Romania. After the first three days, I didn't even want to put the wet suit on again. Bucharest is hell."
• "I never considered I'd be running around from a monster. And I read it and I thought 'Why not' because this is my job and why not try all kinds of genres. And I did it, and possibly will never do it again."
• If she got any injuries during the filming
"No. No injuries. It was just hysterical. It's good to kind of try everything. And, you know, to be chased by a guy in tights wearing a monster head is something I'd never imagined I would be doing in Eastern Europe. And that was just a man I had met... in Bucharest."
• On filming the movie
"That was tough. That was being wet for about three months in Romania, which is not a great combination; and being chased by a man in tights with a big monster head. What can I say? You have to try everything I think."
Character Quotes
• Kathryn: At first, I thought it couldn't survive outside of a cave environment. Now, I'm not sure. I think it wants to get out.
