Somewhat Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (11 May 2012)

"The Descent" had the potential to be a good movie, one which can drop the stereotypes of women in many horror movies and turn them into real protagonists. Unfortunately, this didn't happen.
The characters were developed pretty well. So have you ever watched a movie and you're thinking this is a pretty good movie, and then the ending can make it or break it? In this case, the ending broke it. I'm not talking about the ending ending, but I'm referring to near the end of the movie where Sarah decides to become the judge, jury, and executioner of Juno. True, she didn't actually kill Juno, but she basically was giving her a death sentence. She didn't know all the facts, she had only one side of the story, and yet that was good enough for her to decide the fate for Juno. OK, so perhaps she wasn't killing Juno because of Beth... Perhaps she was killing Juno because she was having an affair with her husband. That gives the right to kill someone? Anyway, I personally think it would have been a better movie if the movie would have shown how they used their courage and ingenuity to get out of the cave... But in the end, this turns into a typical slasher movie where they get killed one by one.
