Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2006)

THE DESCENT completely and honestly exceeded my expectations beyond anything I could have possibly expected. The previews were so-so, but the reviews from horror fans were almost too great to ignore. As the movie's time in theaters came to a close, I wasn't sure I would get a chance to catch this flick. Luckily, STEP UP was sold out, and my friend and I saw this together. THE DESCENT is a classic. No questions asked.
The characters are fleshed-out and believable. The story is intriguing and really sucks you in. The gore fits so perfectly into the film, and the scares don't feel fake or manufactured. Not much more can be said without spoiling the movie.
It's one of the best horror movies around, and most definitely one of the best horror movies ever made.
Somewhere along the way, THE DESCENT also manages to be pretty damn original. So if you're looking for a good horror flick, THE DESCENT is a must-see. By far the best horror film ever made, even a lot of the older classics. THE DESCENT is my favorite film of all time.
