Rating: 4.0
Descent is Decent
I watched the American version and I enjoyed this movie right up until the very end. I was surprised at the excellent character development and suspense. I was kind of surprised I had not heard more about it previous to my renting it. It had good acting, good story, good effects, and good music. In fact I would have given it five stars if the ending had not left me wondering what happened. I don't like weird guess what happened endings. Better yet I like at least one person to survive any horror movies. To me that gives reason to have some hope during the whole horror of what the group endures. This ending made it look like no one survived, and a couple of people did the unforgivable crippling of others. One accidentally but one on purpose because of jealousy. At any rate that I can stomach. I just think at least one should have escaped the cave. Making a dream sequence like one did is clever, but not the answer. I recommend this as a rental, I can't say as I would buy it because of the ending. I liked it when Jamie Lee Curtis got away from Michael in John Carpenter's Halloween. That's the way I like them. Scary, but with someone escaping. If you like everyone to die, then this movie is right up your alley.
