Not a big fan of Dog Soldiers......Big fan of this!

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2008)

I wasn't a huge fan of dog soldiers to be honest, so when a certain FGer recommended Neil Marshalls other major horror flick "The Descent" I was sceptical to say the least.
What a film! It's a Hollywood style horror but without the cheese (well without some of the cheese anyway). Right from the off when the first major event occurs you know you're not going to be fed some straightforward obvious teen horror. It delivers shocks and spills all the way through and great twists and doesn't have any major holes other than the ones they're trying to climb through!!!!!! I'm still not scared like I used to be by horror films as I was as a kid but for shock value it's great.
Highly entertaining and with a wonderful 'Carrie-esque' blood streaked faced ending!
