Product: The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 5.0
One word-terrifying
Plain and simple, I loved this movie. What Marshall has crafted is easily the type of exuberantly horrific wonderment that can get me yammering about its virtues until the cows come home and the chickens finally discover their roost. Shocking, scary, thrilling and so fantastic it can chill you to the very bone, "The Descent" is a free-fall into fear that simply cannot be missed.Not since James Cameron burst onto the scene with "The Terminator" has a director crafted as deliriously kinetic a calling card as writer/director Neil Marshall does with his new horrific subterranean adventure "The Descent." Following up his 2002 giddy soldier vs. werewolf movie "Dog Soldiers," the filmmaker has created one of the most deliciously terrifying adventures as any I've seen in years. This is a beautiful movie, a sublimely eerie meditation on why we're all afraid of the dark and an examination of why the deepest fears aren't the ones attacking from the outside, but the ones gurgling up from within.
