The goriest movie I have EVER seen!!!

Rating: 4/10 (11 August 2006)

The Descent is a very tense movie and definitely keeps you jumping throughout. And although I am a full grown adult, I kept my eyes and ears covered throughout a lot of the film because it was so gory and graphic. This movie is definitely not for the squeamish. Blood and guts, blood and guts, blood and guts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The plot was interesting and disappointing. I didn't like the ending, I didn't really understand the final shock. I didn't like what happened to Juno. What she did was an accident and she didn't deserve to be disabled just before the end of the tunnel. I also thought that a lot of the sets were very primitive and looked like cardboard boxes with paper mache. In addition when one of the girls is stuck in a tight place you can see the rock above her head giving with her movements indicating it was made of foam. At one time in the movie one of the girls remarks that they are two miles underground. Completely impossible. If I remember correctly, the Carlbad Caverns elevator at the end is billed at 300 feet underground or possibly the tallest room was , either way two miles would be almost 6000 feet. Could be a hyperbole. I would wait for video if I were you. A good movie for friends over that like to scream with gratuitous shock scenes.
