This is how The Cave should've been

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2006)

The Descent was by far one of the scariest movies I have seen in quite some time. The production design coupled with clever camera angles help highlight the suspense. One that that is quite respectable about this movie is that it builds up to it's climax. Yeah there are a couple of shocking moments early on in the movie but the real fun does not start until you are well into flick. A movie that actually gives you time to get to know the characters, and a little plot development are starting to get rarer and rarer. I was at first against the idea of an all female cast, but it actually worked out pretty well. In a way I suppose you could say it made the movie a little bit more strait-forward byt not having any guys, who in any other movie would spark a love interest, or some other nonsense. All-in-all this was a very good, albeit simple, horror flick. It succeeds very nicely.
