Why this is scarier (and better) than most horror movies

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2006)

My fiancÃ©e and i agree that The Descent is scary because unlike most movies which contain teenagers having sex and not fighting back (ala "Die Cheerleader, Die" in Scary Movie), the women in this flick fight back against the creatures. Normally there is one bad guy, and if you only fought back you'd survive. In this, no matter how manner they kill, there are always more. Thats terror, not squealing 18 year olds. My fiancÃ©e, however, thought it was TOO scary...he didn't like The Grudge either, and i thought that The Grudge was pretty tame. But as a true horror buff, i liked it. It was sufficiently gory, but most importantly even though you knew something was going to happen, it still makes you jump.
