Horror at its best!

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2005)

A beautifully made film is always nice to see in my eyes. This is one of them. You don't get many and after seeing the "Boogeyman", this, THE DESCENT is welcomed with open arms.
So, I have just returned home from the cinema after watching this fine film. The storyline, characters, location, camera work, everything perfect up until the very end. It crumbles at the last with a ending that, too me could have three different meanings. It does not wreck the film in anyway but it leaves you thinking, what the hell happened then? Watch it and you will see...
The Movie has a lot of gore which works so well. Its not too much and it ain't over the top. The Cave added a lot of suspense and terror to the whole movie and you really felt like the Ladies were been hunted. Also, the horror and suspense was created by the Characters. Normally its a loud sound effect or strange noise but in this film, the close ups of the struggling women gave it the edge. Something many horror films never do often enough (Boogeyman). This is top notch survival horror.
All in all, the movie is a must see for Genre lovers. The film is excellent from the start adding little scary moments before the crawlers were even shown. Fantastic movie and Marshall must be praised for it! Well done Marshall - from ME!
