Wat a pile of crap

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2006)

i heard great things about this film by heaps of ppl, "one of the scariest movies ever" "well written" "they don't make horror movies like they used to, but the descent is one of the few that does" etc. so i was expecting something good, something i would be terrified at seeing, instead what i see is crap from start to finish. i don't want to say much in case it spoils to much but a bunch of females (who cant act btw)go into a cave (their adventurers or something) only to become stuck in the cave with no way out and to be found by a bunch of strange creatures who looks kind of like gollum from LotR only less scarier than that. what you get form then is cheap scares from this creature that i think even a 5 year old would laugh at, a few scenes trying to be "disgusting" when you see it eat the flesh of people/animals etc. and thats pretty much it. coupled with that retarded annoying Asian character (i forget her name) who thinks shes some warrior from the middle-ages, what you get from the descent is nothing more than pain and a stench that will take a few days to get rid of.
my advice, save yourself the time and money and don't get this film, the only reason is praised is probably because it may be original (i've never seen anything like it, even though the cave looks similar though i heard this came first).
