Product: The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Scary, deeply thoughtful, and wonderfully acted.
Mini review. I'm basically writing it to give this movie another 5 star vote.This is a great film. It is off the Hollywood grid and that makes for a very gritty, down and dirty feel-- the opposite of the slick junk American studios turn out.The characters are really well written and acted. It is a treat to see a film starring all females-- adult, fully developed, strong females, who never mention shopping.The story has a lot to say about human nature. It is also incredibly visceral, terrifying, and sickening. I would have been scared and filled with dread if they had just stuck to getting trapped in a cave. But then the things that live in the cave came out. I was pulling the covers up to my nose and screaming like a sissy. This movie is not for the faint of heart. I think my mother would quite literally die from fear if she saw this. Awesome.
