Scary, but... is that a good thing?

Rating: 6/10 (16 March 2006)

Yes, The Descent is scary, it scared me, but there were scenes I simply found scary at a rate, where I would more likely classify them as gross.
The acting in the movie is pretty good, the plot is predictable, but a movie to watch more than once? Certainly not.
The Descent, as other commentators has suggested, is something I would have guessed to be a movie like The Cave, but this movie at least holds up on the fact that it's listed as a thriller. The movie itself is simple, and there are moments where what you would like the most, is to turn your head away.
My suggestion would be to watch this with your girl/boy-friend, if you need someone to hold closely. I could not imagine watching a movie like this in the cinema, simply because people would sit around screaming out loud.
