Product: The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 5.0
I want to spelunck more than ever...
I watch a silly amount of horror movies, over and over and over. I didn't end up seeing this movie in the theater, which I'm now grateful for, because apparently the ending was cut off in the American version. The ending is intact in this version of the DVD.So, you know when you are yelling at the screen, "No, don't go there! What are you stupid?" The greatest thing about this movie is there isn't too much of that! This movie features great character development of 6 women who know their stuff. They are all adventurers and use endless amounts of resources and problem-solving and still find themselves in deep. Each of the characters has a well-defined background and different personality and they act accordingly. The special effects are incredible and the psychological aspect throughout leaves room for speculation and interpetation from the viewer. There's some interesting nudges at some horror classics along the way: The Shining, Jacob's Ladder to name a couple. Love this movie... and I have a sudden interest in caves... hmmm.... but a warning to the viewer; if you are looking for non-stop blood like "Final Destination" this movie isn't for you. This is a psychological thriller, there's blood, but room for your brain to have fun too.
