Movie review:The descent

Rating: 7/10 (10 November 2006)

The Descent starts off with a group of gal-pals going rafting.After that,a tragic accident occurs that leaves one girl's husband and child killed.Later,the girls meet up again,this time with new friends to go caving.This time,their expedition is going to be much more horrifying than ever...
The descent starts off as a standard thriller as we see the accident,and get to know the girls a little better in the first half.The caving scenes are well-shot.They tend to be boring at first and you keep hoping something exciting would happen. And it does happen indeed! The second half goes on to be a horrifying journey as the girls find out that they are not the only ones in the cave...Scary and exciting,the second half makes you squirm as the girls run and scream and try to live...
Overall the descent starts off rather boring and unexciting but its the second half where the descent shines where the girls have a horrifying encounter.Worth a watch,especially for horror fans!
