Product: The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 3.0
Not based on the book
The Descent is creepy, scary fun for those who like horror and can handle blood and gore.The movie is about a group of five women adventure-seekers who go spelunking a year after a tragedy befalls one of the women at the end of their last adventure. After they go below ground, they find there is more to discover than a grand journey of slithering through narrow tunnels, wading through streams and looking at pretty stalactites.The "creepers" are aptly named, for a couple of reasons. Their appearance and movements are the scariest part of the movie.The caves and tunnels the characters travel through are a very cool look at the "underworld" - even though they were all man-made. None of the underground scenery was real, but you would never know it, unless you are an avid spelunker, and I would like to hear from you if you are to see if the set was as realistic as it looked.DO NOT watch this movie if you think it is an adaptation of the book by Jeff Long. I will admit, there ARE similarities between the two - albeit meager ones.The unrated version includes a final minute of footage that is cut from other versions. Yes, one minute can change everything.
