Columbus, OH – A Chillicothe man caught helping the jail escapee and an Ohio congressman decides not to re-run this election.

No equal

By John DeSando, WCBE's "It's Movie Time"

''Hey, there's something down here.''

There is no equal to this horror film within the last few years. It's better than the terror of 2005's Wolf Creek, and while not having the epic quality of 2003's 28 Days Later, it scares you with class and restraint a bit like Open Water but inside the earth. It is a distaff Deliverance (1972), every bit as macho, every bit as scary in its suggestion of human and inhuman depravity.
