Rating: 5.0
Great yet confusing at the end. A CLASSIC!!!
Besides the ending, which leaves you scratching your head, The Descent was excellent. The vague ending didnt bother me that much. It lets you end it the way you want to in your own mind. Did that really happen the way I seen it? What exactly happened? What was real and what was in that persons head? It ended in a way that leads to talk after the film on what YOU think happened. And I like that.What this movie does extremely well is the fear of tight spaces. I am not claustrophobic AT ALL but this film had me freaked out even before all heck broke loose. The girls fit thru tight shafts about 18 inches square, some filled with water. Gasping for air, the roof falling in on them. It had me on edge just from that. Another plus for the movie what that "the crawlers" did not show up until about 45-50 minutes in. Up to that point all you had to be afraid of was the girls getting trapt underground. It was as if the film maker wanted to lull you into thinking nothing was lurking in the shadows. Then BAM, over half way thru the movie "the crawlers" pop out and the whole mood changes.These nasty buggers have no sight, pale white skin and sharp hearing. They never see the light of day. They have been living in these caves for hundreds of years. Were they once human? I think so. And living in the darkness for centuries they lost sight, gained hearing and lost the ability to speak. These guys are gross. The way they move sends chills. They creap around and you never know when they will pop out.I suggest you pop The Descent in for friends and dont tell anyone what the plot of the movie is. Nearly an hour will go by without anyone guessing what the movie is really about. It will shock everyone I promise you! AWESOME!!!!
