I knew "Alien", and you, "The Descent", are no "Alien"!

Rating: 3/10 (5 August 2006)

This is a ripoff of other movies, some good ("Blair Witch Project") and some not so good ("The Cave"), but one of them is not "Alien". Admittedly, there is a high level of suspense once the action starts approx. 50 minutes into the film. There is also a high gross out level. However, the writing is lame. I sat there and predicted when most of the shocks would happen. Characters do and say things for no apparent reason other than to have some extra lines to speak during the first 50 minutes.
Speaking of that 50 minutes, the movie should be titled "Six Annoying B*****s" because I couldn't have cared less about what happened to any of them when the body count inevitably started. Also, if you've seen the trailer, the character screaming "Hello. Is anybody there?" is not supposed to be funny. However, within the context of the film I still couldn't suppress a giggle when the line is uttered.
