The Descent! Help!
I've heard so many mixed reviews of this movie that i thought this was the only place i could get an honest opinion - I don't want to be shelling out 15 notes for something that could be potential arse garbage.
So help a phreak out people! http://www.geocities.com/headissolve/ Last edited by Splatter Phreak; 11-13-2005 at 06:15 AM.

It was better than the overrated Dog Soldiers (Yanks seem to have a fondness for this one - I'm sure it's something to do with the quirky/quaint regional Brit accents being a break from the usual gung-ho goddammit stuff...), but the director still has a long way to go to make a quality horror film.
Good bits: nice lighting and cinematography in the outdoor scenes, unsetlling sense of claustrophobia in the caverns, the "ending"... Shit bits: confusing lack of orientation within the caverns (not helped by the sparse lighting - OK so the group are "lost", but the viewer needs a sense of direction to engage the film properly), mechanical and predictable shocks, far too hyper-kinetic editing style in the fight sequences (i.e. what the fuck is going on here - a fight should be more significant than a lot of quickfire cuts to daft kung-fu moves and a load of squealing) In conclusion, The Descent is only decent.
