Product: The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 2.0
Typical
For me the whole accident event at the beginning was irrelevant, it added nothing. The idea for the movie was good but I could see things going south early when the director would resort to completely unoriginal gimmicks like having a character start to turn back in the cave and the music blasts and whoooaaa, it's just her friend that she didn't know was right behind her even though there is no way someone could come up behind you in a pitch black cave wearing a light on her helmet and not know she was there. Lame. The director also made everything move way too fast during the action scenes and since the camera was right on top of it and it was terrible lighting, half the time you couldn't tell what was going on. He should definitely explored the "ancient explorers" aspect of it to give it some interesting depth because the "dynamic" of the women's interactions was of no interest at all, half the time I couldn't even tell who was who. A typical horror movie, could have been much much better with some vision from the director.
