MCT:September 4, 2008Me dio más asco que miedo. La historia me parece algo absurda.. como ellas practicamente buscan la muerte y como se matan unas a otras =S.

MCT:September 3, 2008this movie was pretty good.. it kept my attention most of the time.. it was kinda freaky with those weird creature things!
-
MCT:August 29, 2008Good horrow flim. It works on levels, as a film, and as something to scare you. Good character depth and good ideas, fell down on symbolism and the ending a bit cuz they're very confusing. But if you like horror this is worth watching. There again, they're making a sequil so hopefully all will be explained.

There are very few scary movies that actually 'scare' me, and I always find myself drawn to this film if I am in the mood to be scared by, but it just makes me breathe heavier when they are going through small holes and that.

Great movie to catch right before you have to go to bed!
This was a pretty damn decent horror movie, i'd been putting off watching it, don't know why i picked now, but i'm glad i did. I thought that perhaps the first 20 minutes or so was a bit draggy, although not so much that it lost my attention, but when comes playing around in the cave. Brilliant! Creepy, spooky, eerie, and that's even before the big beasties showed up! Sure, i say that because i'm a tad biased-i have a bit of a claustrophobic thing, but the tight spots didn't bug me as much as i thought they would.
The creatures were totally not what i expected them to be-and i'm kind of glad. I expected them to be some weird, corny looking 'Alone in the Dark' type thingies, and was actually quite surprised to see what they really were, some sort of mutated humans. But i thought they were very cool looking, like shiny Nosferatu's all in row, and even freakier than the way they looked, was the way those things moved. And the speed at which they attacked and began eating. Lots of quishy, splattery, crunchy noises in the dark. Especially enjoyed the last 15 minutes. Intense. Good stuff.
Got at least two really good jumps out of me. Nice heart rate acceleration, no need to work out now!

MCT:August 23, 2008Retarded movie. I hope my friends wouldn't just start killing eachother off if we were all trapped somewhere together.

Actually, it not that bad... It was okay for me... A predictable story about a cave exploration by six women, just waiting for them to find some creatures and then guessing 'who is the first person to die???'
The beginning didn't impress me, yet when the story growing, it just a little confusing... Some scenes which should be pump up the adrenaline, not pump my adrenaline up... I just felt a little frightened, just a little... But, it's not a bad idea for making movies like this... Especially if they want to make woman look stronger in front of man... -

okay, I gotta admit that I I wasn't interested in the movie and wasn't planning on watching it till the end, but it turned out to be sooo addictive and gripping that I had to watch it till it ended, two thumbs up for the writers for the twisted plots near the very end...

If you've seen the trailer you'll know what your going to get ? suspenseful, claustrophobic thriller, when horrible things happen to a group exploring a cave system. Sounds simple but the direction is top notch, good performances from all involved and it somehow manages to dodge most current horror/thriller clichés to deliver a well paced film, filled with enough jump inducing moments to even give this harden horror buff a few scares.

The best horror movies for me are either the ones that creep me out with something psychological, or leave me a with a feeling of sadness and recognizable despair. The Descent's got a little of both -- stronger on the despair side -- and, to top it off, it's well-mounted as far as these kinds of movies go. On the surface, the film is competent, with its moments of requisite gore and shock -- at its worst, it relies too much on my ol' pet peeve, the false-alarm jump scare (although one of them has an unexpected payoff) -- but where The Descent triumphs are in the little details. It's a story of six British women exploring a cave in the Appalachian Mountains and getting more than they bargained for, where the gals feel like women as people and not Barbie-doll scream queens (to go even further, these women are physically capable thrill-seekers). It takes its time with a back story, features convincing work on the depiction of certain adversarial forces, and contains visuals, arcs, and themes parallel to Deliverance and Carrie. Best of all, it focuses on the mental turmoil of its protagonist, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) -- suffering from a debilitating trauma -- and its effects on her relationships with her friends. By becoming more isolated with them, trapped in a nightmarish labyrinth, Sarah embarks on her own inner descent. The manifestations of despair here are every bit as dangerous as the external physical dangers are -- actually, they just might be the same thing in the cinematic sense -- and they reveal something disturbing about the psyche's desires to both wallow in and violently purge itself of that despair. In another welcome turn, the second main character (Natalie Mendoza), a big key to Sarah's story, is given a very human portrayal. The film additionally comments on the nature of adversarial friendships (and more specifically on the female variety). Note: The American version ending cuts out before the final couple of minutes of the more bleak British ending.

I saw this a few years ago, it was supposed to be a horror, the closest it got was when a girl gets slightly stuck in a tight space. otherwise if you like your monsters a cross between gollum from LOTR and the crap baddies in 'i am legend' its great.

lets be honest.
I hated it. But I'm not saying it's a bad movie. I just..don't particularly like horror movies. But if it weren't so friggen scary I'd say it was a great, awesome, fantastic movie :D -
MCT:August 11, 2008
this was a really good movie. it creeped me out more than once and it kept me interested the whole time. i loved it.

MCT:July 30, 2008
I consider it quite a useless movie, but I rate it with 3 stars because I liked the first half, with the rafting and "climbing" shots, and the very end, with an extremely poetic dead. But I judge the rest nothing special, and hate that supernatural halo given here by the creatures. Very Stephen-Kingish style.

I actually thought that this movie would have been good even if it was just the girls trying to find a way out of the cave. It is an interesting blend of drama and horror. I also enjoyed the final shot at the end.
-
MCT:July 28, 2008
It was a decent movie, great plot, the girls are definately risk-takers for an adventure i guess. Its pretty emotional too. It was a tad slow, but it was interesting. The ending sucked ass though

MCT:July 21, 2008

-
MCT:July 20, 2008
Great make up and lots of blood and gore, for an R rating with six girls would have liked to see a bit of nudity, but all in all an entertaining horror.

MCT:July 18, 2008OMFG OMFG OMFG do not watch i nearly shat myself

Neil Marshall is a great director but his best film by far is DOOMSDAY when you see that you'll say the same thing. The Descent is decent.

MCT:July 13, 2008
not as scary as everyone said it was. Really did an amazing job of portraying the claustrophobia of crawling threw small passages.
-
MCT:July 6, 2008
These hikers decide to go cave diving and discover a horrible, claustroiphic nightmare, in a world where mutant humanoid things threaten to eat them. Yes!

Wow, looking at the rating from my friends, I expected a lot more from this as a horror thriller. The caves scare me so I was expecting to be scared to the point of tears (ha ha). I really liked the first 20 minutes (4 stars). Pretty scenery. The next 30 minutes for me went down to 3 stars, too predictable, too cliche, not done poorly just not my cup of tea. Could have been alright though up until about 50 minutes. Then for me when the horror part of the movie should really kick in and take it up a notch, I felt let down. I gave the last 45 minutes only 2 stars. For me, I think the dark is scarier than what this movie gave me. I liked the last minutes. So alls well that ends. Well.
