Movie Description
THE DESCENT, a claustrophobic and intense British horror film from Neil Marshall (DOG SOLDIERS), follows six courageous young women who venture down a deep, deep cavern in the Appalachian Mountain range. They are expert rafters and rock climbers--particularly the leader, Juno (Natalie Mendoza), and Sarah (Shauna Macdonald), who is still getting over the death of her husband and daughter the year before. Any healing and bonding is scuttled fast, however, once a cave-in cuts off their return route, forcing them deeper down into the darkness, their flashlight batteries dwindling with every wasted minute. The horror builds, the passageways get tighter and tighter, and then Sarah thinks she have seen something moving in the distance, something that looks almost human....


To give away any more would be a crime, but let's just say horror film lovers should find plenty to love here: there's gallons of gore, jump-in-your-seat shocks, and sly references to other films. The women characters are strongly etched, and excellent editing makes it possible to always know what's happening to whom, even as the flashlights are going out, the darkness is moving in, and the unholy screams are echoing off the cavern walls.

Editorial Reviews
"Made with a connoisseur's love of muck, blood, inky darkness, and equal parts elegance and ewwww, THE DESCENT raises the level of the post-BLAIR WITCH, post-OPEN WATER horror game." -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (08/11/2006)

"The babes are buff and the scares bountiful in THE DESCENT, a full-throttle horror freakout..."
New York Times - Manohla Dargis (08/04/2006)

3 stars out of 5 -- "Prepare to be scared senseless, and then, when you think you have it figured, your certainty will be shaken by scenes meant to scare you even more."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (08/24/2006)

3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] deftly made, highly chilling movie that benefits from the uniqueness of having a basically all-female cast."
Box Office - Shlomo Schwartzberg (09/01/2006)

    The Descent

    I'll start by saying that I love most films by Maple, and I expected big things from The Descent. It didn't dissapoint. It's one of the best situational horror films of the last 10 years

    This movie is freaky, bloody, gory, and horrific. It has a great story, a great cast, and an ending to die for. It's original and imaginative, and it maintains a creepy atmosphere from beginning to end.

    The Descent has a very claustrophobic feel to it. It's filmed so well that during some of the sequences you actually feel like you're in the caves with them, and that's not too pleasant.

    The creatures in this film are absolutely terrifying, they're sick, disgusting, and quite disturbing. If you've seen the Maple film Creep you know what to expect.

    Final Verdict:

    5/5

    Rent or Buy?: I'd definitely buy this if you're a fan of horror films.

    IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.

      The Descent Rises Tall !!!!

    "The Descent: UNRATED" is one of the most horrifying films I have sat down and watched in a while. -- With edgy-camera work and significantly drone dark cavern settings; played backdropped against extremely claustrophic undergrounds, you can absolutely smell, feel and breathe the dank, damp, cold rock caves where the ultimate battle of Good vs Evil will take it's battlefield. -- Every year, a group of thrill-seeking, risk-taking women get together to experience an adventure of adrenaline-pumping intensity; (i.e. White Water Rafting, Sky-Diving is mentioned, etc..). This year; one year after one woman experiences the tragic loss of her husband and daughter in a major car wreck; the women have reunited in the Appalachians to explore a series of underground caves never before attempted or marked for discovery. Once below in the caves, claustrophobically tight spaces build extremely tight-taut tension as it becomes clear that these caves have never been explored for a reason. Then, rocks in a narrow-passage give way; sealing the group of women in the caves., seeking a new way out. But it has only begun., as an Evil so devious and cunning lays in wait; ready to attack again., and again., and again. "Survival of the Fittest" has laid it's boundaries and one of the fiercest battles between "Good and Evil" are brought to the big-screen., as these women encounter horror and evil's most frightening menaces in the most tension-intensified manner. (With a mixed reminiscent feel of "Aliens", "Blair Witch", "The Cave" and "Dawn Of The Dead" this movie creates a very tense, uncomfortable reality to it's direction; making you feel as if you are literally trapped in these caves with them.) - An originally made British Horror Film., the truly amazing and enticing feature of "The Descent: UNRATED VERSION" is that it's cast is ALL women. An empowering group of adrenalized women who must save themselves and reveal the inner strength in not just man; or just women... but in all of us. These women perservere and battle brutally; with more primal instinct and brutality than would be expected from Horror Films, where women usually have always lain in wait to be prey. These women show that primal fear in all of us can derive the most primal strength and blinding brutality; in the name of survival. Applauds to the producers for making this film with such a strong, empowering female cast. -- The special-effects are mind-numbing and the film has absolute perfect cinematography and climactic timing. Honestly, I wouldn't change one thing in it. Including a major realization ending!! Simply and Bluntly put; SEE THIS !!!! It's worth every second !!!! Highly Recommended !!
