Take a bunch of people, trap them somewhere and drop in some type of predator... sound familiar?

Rating: 5/10 (15 July 2005)

The Descent was very average. It follows a tried and tested formula (take a bunch of people, trap them somewhere and drop in some type of predator... e.g. the excellent Alien, Leviathan, Deep Blue Sea, Jurassic Park, Deep Rising, Ghost Ship to name but a few.) In The Descent, the group of people get trapped in a cave and the predators soon arrive.
The problem I had with this movie is that I didn't particularly care about the "good guys" and actually started to feel sorry for the "bad guys" whose lives in the cave had been so rudely intruded upon.
Having said all that, it was probably worth the admission price, I've seen a lot worse.
If you do go to see it, keep an eve on the body count on both sides.
