Entertaining and interesting horror film

Rating: 6/10 (28 October 2017)

This is another one of those films that I have heard a lot about but never got around to actually watching it, most of the time these films are good and only a small amount turn out to be disappointing, "The Descent" its another movie that turned out to be good, as I was expecting it to be, but its nothing really all that memorable.
Its more interesting than good, but it manages to be entertaining in spite of its flaws. Its starts out pretty messy, with forced sentimental scenes with people that were never developed, but then it has time to breathe and be calm for a while, that's were I was kind of starting to be invested in the film. After a while the action starts and its pretty good, it stays interesting and tense but then it goes from being a bit silly to being just stupid (I am not just talking about the ending), however, I still think its quite well made for the most part.
The effects are pretty great and the gore is enjoyable, these are arguably the best elements in the whole movie, besides the setting.
I would recommend it, not incredibly original but it is different from the average horror flick, at least different enough to not become boring after a while.
