The best horror movie in years

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2006)

Forget crap like Saw or any of the remakes that are being spewed out by Hollywood. The Descent is easily the scariest horror movie that has come out in ages. It's claustrophobic, gruesome and depressing. Neil Marshall really knows how to handle a movie well. Even the scenes when they are just caving are tense and exciting.
Six friends meet up in America to go caving. Sarah, Juno, Holly, Rebecca, Beth and Sam. After a long hike, they reach the cave. They descend into the cave and begin exploring. But when there is a cave in everything goes dreadfully wrong, especially when they find out they're not alone...
And boy, when they find out it is one of the scariest things ever filmed. The Crawlers are very creepy, vicious little creatures. They bite, tear and eat their victims. They are made all the more mysterious because they are mostly kept in the dark. This is where the film succeeds. The use of camera angles and lighting are perfect and make the film that much more intense. All the women can act and make us feel the right emotions for their characters.
For all horror fans that haven't seen this, you MUST! This is comparable to the almighty Alien. That's how good this is. See it if you haven't! 5/5.
