Cole Hauser's 2005 thriller The Cave is climbing the Netflix chart after being recently added to the streaming service. The largely forgotten film is currently the third most-watched movie on Netflix in the UK.
The Cave stars Yellowstone's Hauser alongside Game of Thrones' Lena Headey, as well as Eddie Cibrian, Morris Chestnut, Daniel Dae Kim and Marcel Iureș.
The film follows a group of cave divers and scientists who get trapped while exploring a Romanian cave and come up against some deadly creatures.

The film wasn't a big hit with critics upon its release but it did manage to gross $33.3 million worldwide, just surpassing its budget of $30 million.
History hasn't proved that The Cave was a misunderstood classic but viewers on IMDB have found it to be a fun watch with some very impressive cave scenery.
What to Read Next
One viewer wrote: "The Cave will appeal to viewers who like horror films set in unusual environments, wherein the pace is super fast, and there is a ton of action. Viewers looking for a credible story will need to exit the cave ... quickly."
Another added: "The best element of this film is the underground scenery. The sets are realistic, with spaces and formations that one might see in certain large caverns."
While a third wrote: "This is one of the best creature feature movies ever made. It is NOT low budget. The story is spot on along with the acting."
Meanwhile, Hauser is currently starring in Dutton Ranch, the spin-off to the hugely succesful Yellowstone. Hauser reprises his role as Rip Wheeler, alongside Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton.
