Product: The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Unrelenting Horror Fest
First of all, let me say this--I generally prefer my horror films with a psychological edge. Films like "Seven," "Don't be Afraid of the Dark," "Rosemary's Baby," and the flawless "Diabolique" and "Repulsion" come to mind.But, I decided to give "The Descent" a try due to all the positive reviews I'd heard. WOW----WHAT A SURPRISE. This film is an exercise in unrelenting horror. This film is destined to be a classic. It is absolutely terrifying even before the first "creature" shows up.One minor flaw--a few too many cheap "jump out of the closet" scares could have been omitted. But, I will admit---the final scene left me jumping out of my seat. Perfect ending---although not "the original" extremely downbeat ending that was shown in the U.K.Very violent, VERY GORY, and very scary---if you like physical horror that gradually descends into psychological horror---this film is for you. But be forewarned---your heart will still be pounding for an extra 30 minutes after leaving the theater.
