finally an excellent horror movie!!! A must see...

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2006)

This movie came as a surprise to me.
i thought it was going to be like "The cave", which was cool, but wasn't really all it could have been...too Hollywoody.
Descent on the other hand, is scary, intense, graphically great, simple, actresses are good,the atmosphere is excellent...
I think, that a big part of the suspense was that there are no guns, hi tech gadgets, no muscular men,...just skinny, but tough chicks!
The story could happen in real life, not likely off-course, but possible, the "bad guys" are more possible than aliens, ghosts,...and are really well made. In one claustrophobic seen, i actually felt the panic of being trapped between tons of rocks,...scary stuff.
oh yeas, the story: a few girls get together after a few years to get some adrenaline pumping with cave diving. One of them has been traumatized by an accident, where her husband and child lost their lives. The story more or less focuses on her and her acceptance with the death of her loved ones and off course the struggle of these girls in getting out of the cave system and escaping "the ones", who would rather have them for dinner...thats about it.
to sum it all up: definitely worth seeing, and one of the best scary films I have ever seen!
