Gory and exciting horror film.

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2005)

A bunch of women drop into a cave system in the Appalachian Mountains and the bloody nightmare begins.Trapped by a rock fall,they are hunted and attacked by slimy humanoid predators.As the women fight for their lives,the fault lines within the group are exposed:betrayals surface,tensions explode and loyalties disintegrate.Neil Marshall's "The Descent" is a fast-paced and very exciting horror film that offers plenty of blood and guts.This movie plays on every primal fear:of darkness,claustrophobia,deformity,drowning and being savagely ripped limb from bloody limb by creatures with very pointy teeth."Dog Soldiers" was intelligent and vividly gory."The Descent" is a much darker,more intense horror flick.The atmosphere of fear and panic among six females is well-captured and the acting is great.The gore effects are spectacular with bodily dismemberment and geysers of blood to boost.I strongly recommend this film to fans of the genre.9 out of 10.
