Descent is an amazing movie

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2006)

Horror movies always had a sweet spot in my heart ever since I saw "The Exorcist" at the age of 12 and didn't sleep right for the next few weeks! Unfortunely, horror movies have been downhill for the last 10 yrs or so and sometimes it seems this genre is completely lost. Nothing could be further from the truth, however, when you see "The Descent" A descent not only physical, but also mental as the characters experience hardcore fear. This movie is scary, really scary. It messes around with one of humanity's greatest fears (claustrophia) and the directing is just amazing. The plot is denser than it appears; a lot of the character development is essential and their behavior is extremely realistic (forget Hollywood's cool heroes with clean haircuts). Very watchable and overall excellent horror movie. 8/10
