excellent horror film- see the U.K. version

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2006)

The Descent has several things going for it: great acting, directing and lighting; a plausible story line and a mounting suspense while at the same time making you think. My advice upon seeing this movie is to not come to quick conclusions, it is not the typical horror film which is usually best taken at face value, however entertaining. If you take it at face value, you will be entertained, but the ending may not make a lot of sense, for there are things going on at different levels that will affect your interpretation of the outcome. I recommend this movie for all of those who enjoy horror movies with good acting that make you think. I can't really go into it more than that without spoiling it for you, which would be a shame. This is a highly enjoyable horror film!
