Well made horror film

Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2016)

The Descent (2005) is definitely a well made horror movie. The film is about a group of women who decided to explore a cavern, One of whom has just a year ago lost her young daughter. The group of friends go down into the cavern and start to explore, but soon become lost and come to the realization that they might not be able to find a way out. And if that isn't bad enough they start to hear these strange noises and the star of the film sees these weird creatures and they discover that they are not alone down there, these creatures that lurk in the dark are flesh eating monsters that hunt on the surface and then bring their food down to the bottom of the cavern to eat. I will definitely say that this movie is very well acted and I think that the script and dialogue is well written. I really liked how they made the creatures look, and I loved the whole cavern setting, the setting really did a lot to increase the creepy feeling the whole film had to it, especially towards the end. I think it's safe to say that if you do not like tight spaces or dark settings or creepy creatures then this is not the movie for you. The ending is different based on whether you see the UK or US version. I had mixed feelings about the ending (I originally saw the U.K. Version by the way). And I do prefer the UK version to the US version because I think the US version's ending is disappointing. I would definitely suggest seeing either the unrated version or the UK version just because I think the ending is more interesting compared to the U.S. theatrical release. I give The Descent an 8/10.
