What a film!

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2006)

I saw The Descent as part of the 2006 Melbourne International Film Fest and rated it one of my top 2. It is quite possibly the best horror I have seen in the last 5 years, better than any Jap horror being produced which I have to say has been disappointing of late.
A group of kick-ass gorgeous babes, dark claustrophobic caves, gollum-like creatures and enough gore to make rival the local abattoir make it a must see for any committed Horror-Buff.
The Descent had me clutching my seat and squirming from the moment the pole comes through the windscreen in the terrible car accident scene and held me in a state of uncomfortable delight until the final scene. The cave scenes are well shot, the lighting was dark and murky but enough that the important parts were clear, it maintains tension throughout and has enough of those moments where you can't bear to look but can't bear to look away.
more please !!
