Like some have said, a very solid beginning with huge potential. But, by the end, the claustrophobia wears off and we are left with a vampire like movie. Better than many horror flicks I have seen recently, but could have been even better. |

The Descent - A Review, Ex Post Facto |
|
This film holds a special place in my heart. Neil Marshall has thus far peaked with this movie. He has done what David Cronenberg hasn’t quite been able to do –though he comes close with “A History of Violence.” Neil Marshall has made a film that subtly offers the viewer a textbook session of psychoanalysis as the women delve deep and deeper into the very depths of their psyches. Their true selves arise as they probe the absolute depths of the cave system. Are the creatures they find really themselves? A rather hokey observation, I know. But that is the what Marshall gives us. Aside from the Freudian criticism, the film offers wonderful frights. It is a smart film that offers something for any true horror fan.

Boo! |

This movie was terrifying as a horror movie can get. I walked out with a bit of a lump in my throat from how much I gasped and was taken aback. Yes, gory and at some points rather absurd, this story drew much of the terror from the amount of claustrophobic shots and realistic, palpable scenes of pain. A great movie to watch when you wanna get close to that special someone you wanna scare the hell out of. |

Great British Horror movie |
|
A great british horror movie.Starts well and slowly build up to the show down between the surviour and the monsters.Great use of the dark and small spaces making it very creep and at times making you squim in your seat.All performances from the all female cast are excellant and neil marshall is a man who knows he's horror gene.
All in all one of those rare movies were yes you seen it all before but is done in a way that u hav'nt. |
