The Cellar is a rather good chiller with some really tense moments. The scene of the daughter counting to ten just like in the short, The Ten Steps, works just as well here. Elisha Cuthbert is good in the lead role and makes me wish she was in more movies these last 10 years. The movie, like most of these types of horrors, suffers once the monster is revealed but there is enough here to recommend and leads to a decent twist kinda ending.
