Watch the original UK ending, not the shorter US one!

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2015)

This is one of my newest favourite horror films. In a list dominated by classics like Texas Chainsaw and Halloween, The Descent definitely is up there. Please don't read about it before watching it as it really works best with he element of surprise. The acting is excellent, the plot is compelling and brilliantly executed, and the writing is strong. The only thing that lets this film down (for me) is the cave monsters who, as is often the case (Looking at you, Jaws) are infinitely scarier before they are shown on screen. Oh and also the sequel, this film doesn't need a sequel the original ending is brilliant. I won't say much else about it other than watch it, horror fans will not be disappointed, and there is enough thriller in there for people who are new to the genre.
