Nothing like the book but good initself

Rating: 7/10 (30 September 2009)

I read the book Descent by Jeff Long several years ago ( no longer in publication sadly ) and to this day consider it to be the best book I have read. So when I saw they had released the movie i was both excited and aprehensive as I knew it wasn't likely the film would be as good as the book.
The film "is" based on the book in the sense the monsters are taken directly from the book and their location ( caves ) but thats it. There is no other link to the book at all.
Thats a shame because with a big enough budget and good producers the film could be awesome.
That said, in itself the film was gripping and interesting and one I have and will watch more than once
