Sanctum Review

There were few explorers went to have an exploration in Esa'ala cave, Papua New Guinea. The expedition was led by a professional diver, Frank McGuire. He brought his son along, Josh to gain knowledge in this field.

Frank and diver, Judes decided to explore an unexplored section of the cave known as Devil's Restriction. All of a sudden, on their way back to the camp, Judes' hose tank snaps. With no other back up tank, Frank offered Judes his hose, and they exchanged for awhile until at one stage Judes was getting feared and refused to give back. Frank had to take a quick action in order to continue breathing and pushed her away, lastly she died in front of him. He came back alone to the camp while carrying Judes body, and everybody was worried at first what was happened to Judes.

Then, suddenly there was a storm and it filled the cave very rapidly and everybody had to find a way out. During the escape, one of the explorers, Luko, fell and badly injured until Frank drown him in a mercy killing. Frank asked Victoria to use Judes' suit because she wore inappropriate suit for diving but she rufused. As a result, her body became cold.

There's one scene that really touched my feeling, where Frank's friend named George, who suffered from decompression sickness, he made up his mind to stay behind so that he will not slow down the group. To save their lives, they need to cross the cave by using a long rope. Clearly, that was not her lucky day, Victoria's long hair trapped in the equipment. She had to cut her hair but then she fell down to the waves and died. Victoria's boyfriend, Carl really tensed up and hold a revenge to Frank because he thought it was all Frank's plan. Three of them were saved to climb to the other side of cave. Carl attacked and tried to kill Frank and they fought until Frank lay on a sharp wood. Josh ran towards his dad and killed Carl. His dad was nearly to death, and he asked Josh to let him die in the cave. He preferred to be buried in his favorite place. Josh followed his father request and drown Frank. Lastly, he swam straight to the surface by using a small tank and he succeed to swim to a nearby beach.

In a conclusion, it was a great movie based on a true story. I personally enjoy watching this movie.
