30 days is a fresh view on an old theme

Rating: 7/10 (30 October 2007)

After reading many of the reviews, both good and bad, well I took time out from my schedule, no Sunday night football, to go to the movies. My wife is not into horror films and my kids are just too young for this genre. I am not going to go into the storyline, just a quick review from a 30 something. Not a classic. It is a movie with some questions to be answered, but it has an overall good horror gauge. The Descent was probably one of the best suspense horrors in the last ten years and it did not leave a ton of questionable antics. The great thing about this movie is that is done with a serious tone, none of those cheesy one liners and the actors do a good job of looking scared out of their mind. The villains in this movie are convincing. We do not get to know a lot about them, but one thing we know for sure they are brutal. I recently watched 28 weeks later and compared to the first one, the 2nd one had some silly crap in it and was overall a big disappointment. This movie was a good movie for a matinée price. I don't think it was worth the $8 i paid, but overall I was not disappointed.
