The Descent into mediocrity

Rating: 1/10 (4 December 2007)

This was utterly dire & childish. Just horror by the numbers, & other peoples numbers to boot. I've seen people suggest that the "references" were a good thing, but it just seemed assembled from other scripts. I fail to see how this obvious committee style cut & paste can have any merit? I've even seen people suggest that this movie has strong characterisation, may I suggest they need to watch more varied kinds of movies!! It just all seemed so lazy & contrived, just like Dog Soldiers.
This kind of over-stylised, under thought-out rubbish needs to stop, so we can get back unselfconscious film-making, good film making.
I will give praise to the cinematography & the lighting though. Very very good.
