The Descent - A Let Down

Rating: 4/10 (15 January 2007)

When I heard of this movie and it's similar plot competitor, I figured I'd check this one out because it was the highest rated of the two. When I rented this, I was disappointed to say the least.
I'll start with the good of this movie. I was thoroughly impressed by the acting of the girls. It was top notch and made me believe that they were truly in a life-threatening crisis. The mental strain and the way they played it out was completely believable.
But good acting cannot save a poor storyline. I'll skip past the beginning parts because they were okay. When the breed of monster finally appeared, I laughed because it reminded me of C.H.U.D. meets Resident Evil. The way the monster moved, attacked, everything made it a laughable experience.
To sum up, I would not recommend this movie to anyone unless they scare easily and are looking for a cheap fright-fest.
