Descending to Hell

Rating: 7/10 (1 September 2007)

Every year loads of awful horror films are released to the market, so of course it is a wonderful surprise when a horror film is actually scary. "The Descent" is a major positive surprise, which I'm sure will please horror fans  Actually it is what "The Cave" isn't; exciting, claustrophobic, scary and extremely creepy.
Generally I'm not frightened by horror films, but this one made me jump several times  Not because of lousy horror effects, for example the sudden high scream of a cat, or the leading to a climax which ends up just being the friends lurking in the dark saying boo. This is the real boo! The chocks come on the most unexpected times, and during the entire film, you're feeling unpleasant an uncomfortable.
All these elements make "The Descent" one of the most creepy (and unfortunately also neglected) horror films of the year.
