THE SEVERED ARM (1973). A group of friends go spelunking and have to resort to drastic measures for survival after a cave in and then the Karmic effects afterwards. Obviously low budget (with many of the interiors having a Motel 6 vibe) with a too languid pace, there are a few genuinely frightening moments, a creepy synth score and a pretty damn fine ending.
Cast includes Deborah Walley (many AIP Beach movies, believe this was her last film), Paul Carr (TV Star Trek, THE BAT PEOPLE), John Crawford (TV Star Trek, THE ENFORCER) and Marvin Kaplan (who did some writing for THE ADDAMS FAMILY). ***
