I have a zeal for horror flicks and this is a masterpiece.

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2007)

Wow what a great film, what is not to love about "The Descent". I can not even start talking about this masterful flick. Quite frankly I did not expect such a shocking cinema from U.K. But hey, apparently the British did not stop with "Shaun of the dead".
The Descent is about a group of caving voyagers finding themselves trapped in a cave filled with human eating predators. There was a surplus of demonic creatures and gory fight scenes, which, by the way, I enjoyed. Great special effects and lengthy gruesome fights overwhelmed me throughout the movie. The plot, too, was exciting, I mean what would anyone do if they find themselves trapped in a cave full of flesh eating blind mutants with no way out?
The other enjoyable aspect of the movie was its consistent suspenseful scenes. Unlike some painful-to-watch flicks in the same genre such as "captivity" with Elisha Cuthbert, The Descent had me in a terrorizing yet overwhelmingly exuberant experience for an hour and a half.
overall, if you are someone who is yet to see the movie and have claustrophobia do not watch it. but if you are man/woman enough to see a gory flick that will scare the crap out of you, well what are you waiting for? I guarantee you, you will love it.
