Product: The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 5.0
best horror flick in AGES.................
the atmosphere is fantastic....ALL the female actors are superb....the film score is eerily wonderful (no METAL MUSIC thank God!)the story is concise with UNPREDICTABLE reveals...the tension is VERY palpable........VERY VERY palpable...the U.K. ending is much better than the U.S. version...this film had me squirming. i chewed a hole in my lip and nearly jettisoned myself from my theater chair several times. this is BY FAR the best horror film i have seen in many years. if you are reading this i'm sure you know the basic story (female spelunkers in SERIOUS trouble) but it is actually alot more complex a tale than that. psychological AS WELL AS physical, THE DESCENT avoids many of the cliches that have RUINED films of this genre. expertly filmed and edited (with the GLARING exception of the "U.S. ENDING" cut),...this will go down as one of the CLASSIC films of the genre. 5 stalagmites up!!!p.s. if you have seen this film...DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and look on the web for the British ending. it ties up the story MUCH better and (albeit darker) is a better conclusion to the film.
