THE GREATEST HORROR FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN - AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE - A CLASSIC
I cannot begin to tell you how utterly, deeply shaken to my soul, to my core being this masterpiece of horror cinema has left me. I have seen hundreds, thousands of movies. As of late, most of them fail to move me. Am I getting jaded? Used to the mediocrity churned out year after year? It could be.However...Watching this...this mind-blowing, visceral, roller-coaster into hell...NEVER has my physical body, my mind, and my soul been so ROCKED by a film with FEAR, HORROR, SUSPENSE, SHOCK. My senses elevated beyond all belief. I was holding on FOR DEAR LIFE at what I was witnessing upon the screen. I was genuinely and TOTALLY SCARED OUT OF MY MIND - I am not exaggerating, not in the slightest.This is an experience I have not had at the movies in AGES.So what is it about? I really don't want to tell you. The less you know about it going in the better. Seriously, I do not advise those with heart conditions stepping into the cinema and watching this. It is an experience so visceral, so emotionally gripping, so INTENSE, your very nervous system will be exercised in ways you never imagined movies were capable of. I for one, had stopped believing in the power, the ability of film to make me feel this way.The audience reaction I witnessed was unlike anything I've ever seen in my life - screaming, shrieking, jumping up from the seats, gasping for breath. This film is as close to a roller-coaster ride as you will ever experience. Upon U.S. release, I plan on seeing it SEVERAL times in theaters; it should be amazing just to simply hear audience reactions, to be in that charged of an atmosphere.Believe me as I tell you: this film WILL go down as a landmark, a classic, one that will be mentioned among the all-time greats: PSYCHO, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, etc.This film has already been released in the UK, and is in fact already available there on dvd. As of this writing I have not seen a date for U.S. release, but for its audiences-to-be I say this: you are in for an experience that you have only dreamed of, and I mean that literally. The sounds and images that are coming your way will stay with you for a very long time, as they still do with me.Technically, the film is outstanding. The cinematography is astounding, breathtaking. The execution of this production is one for the ages. This is landmark cinema, and I am only too grateful to have lived long enough to have experienced it.This is a film, if marketed correctly, will lock up $200 million US domestic EASY. Word of mouth, along with a shrewd release strategy will reap HUGE grosses. I GUARANTEE IT. It's THAT kind of film. People will want to see this more than once. It is just going to blow people away, you'll see."THE DESCENT" is out NOW! I COMMAND YOU TO GO SEE IT!!
