Product: The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 4.0
An excellent thriller that's not for the claustrophobic!
This movie is like a cross between "Cliffhanger," "Deliverance," and "Alien".I'm not normally squeamish about confined spaces, but some of the "tight" shots in this film are so well done that you could just sense the distress the characters were experiencing. Really edge-of-your-seat stuff.Added to that, this film is a couple notches above the typical pick 'em off one at a time horror film. Like "Alien," it is well paced, and the characters have some dimension.One star off for the Blu-ray transfer - there's some crystal shots, but most of the story takes place in a dimly lit cave - Hi Def Digest says "Chroma noise is also not an issue" in this film, but I beg to differ.Unless there are different transfers available for this film, there's a lot of video noise in many scenes.Still one to own, or at least worth seeing at least once if you are a fan of scary/thriller films.
