What would you do if you were trapped six feet under , not in your grave but in a cave?
Personally , i don't think that's wise and i couldn't bring myself to imagine getting lost in a cave with nothing to hold on to nothing but a castrophobic self .
I could barely even trust myself .
That brings me back to the movie i watched recently , Sanctum .

To be frank , i never thought of watching that movie as the name of the movie sounds absolutely boring . Sanctum?! Are we gonna learn about religion or something? Cause as far as my level of understanding could bring me , sanctum means a sacred or holy place , free from intrusion . Other than that , the poster don't seem appealing with only 2 shades of color , black and blue with lots of words all over it.
But oh boy, how was i wrong.
That movie blew me away . It literally brought me on an emotional roller coaster ride and left me breathless with mixed emotions.
It got me praying in my seat , i was praying for the actors in my seat while watching a movie , could you believe that?!Cause i can't seem to fathom what was i doing as it was too intense to a point which i wouldn't believe it's based on a true story , ain't no fiction .
It made me question , how lucky am i to be living in civilization , to be living with my loved ones , to be enjoying my life , to cherish whatever i'm holding on to and it provokes things that you believe in.
As an example,would you assist a suicide if it's to save a person from much torment? If you're in a right mind , you would definitely say no . But it did happen in the movie , not only once but twice.
Apart from the great storyline and ups and downs in the plot , there was a huge let down in the movie .
I'm never a fan of gory stuff and never will be , the fact that they have to show each and every dead body just scares me and leave me gasping for air with hands covering my eye and constantly taking a glimpse or two. I mean , i would rather watch a bouncing inflated balloon than a floating inflated corpse . Wait , not A floating inflated corpse , i swear there were more than 3 corpses .
In a nutshell , Sanctum is movie with a great plot , great storyline , but i wouldn't watch it twice. It's too gory for my liking and it's just my 2 cents opinion though .
