!!Provides Examples Of:

* [=~3-D Movie~=]
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: Carl, resulting in Frank's death]]
* BlackDudeDiesFirst
* BloodFromTheMouth: George, suffering from the Bends.
* ChekhovsGun: Josh's fang necklace with a built in flashlight.
* ClicheStorm
* DwindlingParty
* DiesWideShut: Judes drowns like this.
* FridgeBrilliance: [[spoiler: If Josh would have left at the beginning he still would have been the only one to survive, though it probably would have rescued the other man he was with at the time. Everyone probably still would have died, but Josh would have just known that his dad died in the cave, not having to live with the fact that he drowned him in the cave and lived through all the troubles.]]
* InMediasRes: The first shot you see is Josh floating aimlessley, seemingly dead. [[spoiler: He makes it out though.]]
* IdiotBall: Victoria holds this most of the time, which [[spoiler: kills her when she cuts her own rope to free her entangled hair.]] Justified in that she has no experience in cave diving, which other characters point out constantly.
** She refuses to wear a wetsuit and gets hypothermia as a result. Might cross into somewhat understandable {{Squick}} / HeroicBSOD territory [[spoiler: once it's taken into account that she was ordered to wear the wetsuit off a recently-dead body.]] Still, it does not ''quite'' befit a trained and experienced mountain climber to behave this way (Victoria's said to at least have climbed Everest). [[spoiler: Minding one's long hair (or not keeping it that way)]] is a habit expected from a mountaineer as well.
** Considering that they have limited amounts of battery life, they ALL use their headlamps [[spoiler: and later engine oil torches]] ALL the time. Alternating lamps would have allowed them to have light for a lot longer.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler: George, suffering from Decompression Sickness, coughing up blood, and unable to continue, crawls off into a side-tunnel and hides, waiting for death]]
* LargeHam: Ioan Gruffudd, so very much.
* MercyKill: Frank does this to Luko after he falls down a shaft and breaks all the bones in his body. [[spoiler: Later, Josh must do it to his dad after he's been stabbed by sharp rocks.]]
* SurvivalMantra: Frank recites "Kubla Khan" (also less commonly known as "Xanadu") by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Josh later asks his father to teach him the poem in their mutual HeartwarmingMoment.
* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Nobody actually died in the true story, which was experienced ''by the screenwriter himself.''
* WellDoneSonGuy: Josh is really detached from his cave-diving, spelunkering dad.
