One of the scariest movies I've seen, period!

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2006)

I just saw The Descent last night, opening night, and the midnight show! Great time, right? Oh, my God, it's the next day and my heart is still pounding like crazy. The Descent is so original and incredibly intense. This was such a gift to horror fans and I'll explain why.
Lately, horror movies are bland and are not that original. You know when the scares come and how they are going to come. Despite you truly don't see the monsters until the last half hour of the film, the environment was so well created, the claustrophobia, the tight spaces, the darkness, and the unknown. Not to mention the throwing in some human man eating bats didn't help your nerves calm down. This was the very first movie that I screamed out loud so much.
The Descent is one of the best movies I have seen this year and I would without a doubt recommend this to any true horror movie fan. Thanks to the director for giving us a good movie in this world of amateur films.
9/10
