Very High for The Descent

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2014)

I am a great lover of UK horror films. There isn't as much pressure to remake a horror film. So the chances of getting a fresh horror is better and with this film I give you proof.
Claustrophobia, Isolation, Darkness, Hunters, Scares, Unknown Territory....the list goes on. This film combines all of these and offers it up on a plate.
A nice little story is woven throughout and has relevance toward the end of the feature, so none of that pointless drivel. At the same time it does't bog you down with too much information to leave you drifting.
The setting is one of the complete unknowing. Incorporating all the features I mentioned above and then being hunted in this environment just adds to the fear levels.
And, with UK horror films, there is an amazing ending. One that will leave you open mouthed. I understand that the US version had removed it, which is a terrible shame, as this is true horror. The world is not a fairytale place, and evil lurks in those dark corners that have still to be discovered.
The Descent is just a amazing horror film and one for the collection. It is worth a full price and it is worth holding onto and would look lovely in any horror fans collection.
