One of the scariest movies I've seen

Rating: 9/10 (24 September 2005)

THE DESCENT is a bloody and brutal British movie taking place in a wilderness cave. Neither a starry cast or a big budget, this movie simply gives you horror for all it's worth.
We follow six young women who's out to get some adventure. They rappel down into a cave, and everything seems to be okay until they're confronted by some horrifying creatures who attacks to kill...
THE DESCENT may seem a bit to typical, but as soon as the terror begins you will forget everything about original idea, you simply want to get out of that cave as fast as possible. Because as soon as we're down in the cave, we're down there... there's no room for breathing or breaks, it's full-on terror to the last second. This makes the movie extremely effective and intense, and makes you sweaty and jumpy threw it's running time. And it's this that makes THE DESCENT such an incredible good horror movie, the simple plot; six girls, one cave and a whole lotta pain coming threw.
Director Marshall debuted for some years ago with DOG SOLDIERS, who also had some comedic strikes hidden - THE DESCENT has lied all the comedy behind and focused 100 percent on horrifying horror all the way.
