Product: The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 5.0
This is why i dont cave dive..........and also because I am lazy.
So, I bought this movie on the advice of a friend. Typically I am not into survival horror movies with a female lead. I usually prefer the man since they are more physically imposing and generally more effective in combat......yea yea mumble sexist under your breath all you want.Anyway, this movie has an all female cast going spelunking, however they get a bit of a surprise when they go to the wrong cave. I do not want to spoil anything for you but I think even without a monster menace the claustrophobic feeling and the attempts to escape would have made a pretty good movie.The filmmaker goes that extra mile though and inserts these creatures into the story. You will learn about their origin and it is very cool. I really dont think I have felt a sense of dread and hopelessness as strongly as I did in this movie. The poor girls are constantly assaulted by the environment and flesh eating monsters and although you feel bad for them, these girls are pretty hardcore and do some ugly and violent things to survive......you go girls.If you are in the market for a new horror movie...pick this up without delay. It is definitely in my top 5 and will probably be in yours too.
