I'm sure cavedwelling humanoids aren't exactly used to having to really fight at all. They're probably mostly scavengers/pack hunters that aren't used to having to defend their homes. Particularly against humans who are clearly superior to them in intelligence and also happen to be wielding pickaxes. Granted, it's 'their element' but they're still mortal creatures.

the thing is that based on their lack of intelegence and apparent lack of physical gifts, they would have died out a long time ago.

As someone else pointed out, they aren't perfectly evolved in general, just merely evolved for cave dwelling. Surely a group of spelunker chicks can make that assumption based on how their eyes react from the light of their flashlights and the way they move and whatnot.

perfectly evolved for cave dwelling is one thing, but it takes more than the ability to live in a cave for a species as big as a human to survive over time.

You could probably break down a lot of movies based on the antagonist of the movie clearly being able to decimate the protagonists with relative ease, but they don't for reasons of uh... wanting the movie to be longer than 20 minutes?
The actresses in the movie were irrelevent. This was a horror/thriller movie that revolved completely around human/cave humanoid interaction. This was not a drama based on the lives of these women. The women they had were fine.
Hell, I'm sure they could have done the whole movie without any monsters at all. They could have simply had the bones, the cave drawings, screeching sounds, the pools of blood, etc. and had the women pick themselves off through paranoia, and that might have made a pretty good movie. They didn't go that route and they didn't really have to

.
yes. excellent point. my point exactly. this is a typical horror movie. the reason i'm flaming this movie is because it was represented to be something more than a typical dumb horror movie, which it wasn't.

Again, they could have been scavengers for the most part. Speed, reflexes and pack hunting will net you enough food to eat in the wilderness. Or maybe they had some humanistic tricks. Once upon a time we as humans were able to get by just fine in the wilderness without guns and traps and whatnot.

yeah, except these things are blind and live in caves. and without our inventive brains, we humans would have died out a long time ago too.
