The cameraplay throughout the caves in The Descent offers no sense of orientation, but instead of giving the viewer the same suspense of being 'lost' as the unfortunate ladies in the film it is instead just rather bewildering.

The creatures they encounter are not very impressive either, and to make matters worse the director employs the trendy hyper-kinetic editing style to show us that the girls really are 'kicking ass' in case we were in any doubt - Kung-Fu fists fly, bones crunch, familiarity breeds contempt.

But you're obviously all going to see it anyway given that everyone here seems to think this mediocre horror movie is the best thing to come out of Britain since Frank Bruno, so we hope you enjoy your revised 'safe' ending since it's been made all fluffy for the country housing the world's 2nd biggest stash of nuclear weapons.

:D
