Horrifying movie!

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2013)

This movie, though not my "favourite" horror, is definitely up there in the list of stomach churning, arm gripping, breath taking films. I first watched "The Descent" alone whilst reading a book, so didn't pay too much attention to what was going on. The few times I put my book down and looked briefly at the screen, I got a scare! I suggested to my sister and mum, along with her friend, that we all watch it on New Years Eve. About 20 minutes into the movie, my mum said "this is boring". I felt a little downhearted after that, but insisted we gave it time. That wasn't a mistake! Once the characters found themselves stuck in the caves and struggling to find their way out, we all concentrated more, wondering what was going to happen next. Then, after the first creature had shown itself, there was scream after scream to follow, along with a lot of laughs! There was barely a quiet moment to redeem yourself! My mum admitted that the movie turned out pretty great once it had finished. "The Descent" is full to the brim with scares, jumps and plenty of terrifying scenes to make your throat sore! If you find yourself in the same situation a little while into the movie and feel like it's never going to pick up pace, trust me, it does. Definitely worth watching and deserves it 18 rating. Prepare yourself for this movie, you won't soon forget about it...
