The Descent Review by Godzilla_Rules

Today I visited two of some of my favorite horrors one in which is "The Descent". This movie came out in 2005 shortly after "The Cave". The movie is a lot like The cave in that it is about a caving expedition gone horrible wrong except it is considerable more realistic and seems more possible than t...

When a group of women decide to explore some caves together it turns bad when they are taken to an unexplored cave instead. The women are trapped by some rocks in this cave and no one knows they are there. Well, no one on the outside world, but there is something with them in that cave, something hu...

Over hyped? Most definitely. Still worth the time? Without question. It is easy to see the hype and think, 'I might pass this by'. Don't! It is still easily a taut and tense horror that surpasses quite a few movies of it's type.I can see this movie times over and still adore it. Not just the darkest...

I rented this movie when it first came out, and turned it off. I bought this movie, then sold it without watching it. Then I bought it again and am now watching it all the way through for the second time. It did have to grow on me and now I love the movie The opening scene o...

The Descent focuses around a group of girlfriends, who apparently explore underground caves and taverns as a hobby. When their exploration goes wrong, and they are lost within the cave it becomes clear there is more to fear than the dark....I have heard many great things about The Descent, both on h...

There's something about a chick dripping in blood, a torch in one hand, a femur in the other, and going medieval on a cave creature's ass that just gives me a hard on.The Descent is just an amazing film. Anticipation and the unknown are what drive this movie. There really isn't muc...

The Movie: Horror fans have lived through some slim pickings of late, with Hollywood bombarding them with countless dull and uninspired remakes of earlier entries in the genre (possible exceptions being recent revisits to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Dawn of the Dead). Every once in a while...

Frankly I dont know why Neil Marshall doesnt get much more credit as being a visionary for our genre. Namely the horror genre. The guy knows how to scare the shit out of you without the need to rip off limbs, tear out eye balls, etc. He uses great story telling, combined with spooky environments lik...

Neil Marshall's "The Descent" truly ranks up with "Alien", "Jaws" and “The Exorcist” as one of the great horror dramas of all time. What does each of these films have in common? A leisurely-paced build up to establish character, drama, dread and a slow-revea...

There are very few movies that deserves a "10" rating, and The Descent most definately does. I have to admit that im not really a big fan of most of the newly horror films that have came out in the past months or so.I'm very picky, I'm more of a Saw and Texas Chainsaw Massacre type guy. I like ...

Man yet another great horror flick and guess where it was born? Yeah you wouldn't of thought it the merry land of England! Directed by Neil Marshall the guy who brought us Dog Soldiers, he seems to want another go at the horror scene with Descent! All the hype last year surrounding the horror movie ...

Thousands of phobias have been categorized to this day. Whether it be arachnophobia or hydrophobia, everyone has at least one. One of my worst phobias is claustrophobia which is the fear of being in small areas and if you've seen Lions Gate's The Descent then you should know exactly what I'm talking...

I know there has been a lot of reviews to the previous film The Descent, but I thought I'd throw my two cents out there. The story starts off with three of the six girls doing what they do best...extreme sports. The three girls are white water rafting down some pretty intense rapids down to where Sa...

That is horror One of the best horror films of the decade! This is what we call surprise! One of the best horror films of the decade comes from Europe. What is "The Descent": The director wants to find the secrets behind the mirror that we call women. Drama, horror, a splatter that thinks. Claustr...

To me, Neil Marshall's "The Descent" ranks up with "Alien", "The Blair Witch Project" and "Jaws" as of the great classic horror movies of all time. What do each of these films have in common? A leisurely-paced build up to establish drama, character and dread and slow-re...

Scary as hell, gory, suspenseful, relentless, the best horror film of 2006...those are but a few words of how I can can describe British director Neil Marshall's followup to his hit Dog Soldiers...The Descent. Marshall skips the sophmore slump and definatly shows he knows horror and what scare...

First review but die-hard horror/fantasy/scifi fan, from collecting "Famous Monsters" magazines in its infancy to owning over 200 horror genre dvds. This movie is the adrenaline rush horror fans have been waiting for. We've been cheated by slick remakes that have missed the mark th...

This is my first review on this site so here goes. I'm from the U.K so I saw this movie last year when it came out over here. The film is a dark twissted look in to a trip in what turns into hell for the ladies. For me the worst parts were the feeling of being trapped in the caves , some great shots...

UK has always glow with dramas, but when it's time to talk about comedy or horror, well, l'd prefer to see if there's another think in cinemas... After the disapointing of THE GATHERING (2002) l swore not to se their movies anymore. THE DESCENT, however, came refreshing and brilliant into cine...

hi everyone. This is my first review so it probably wont be a superb one, but ill do my best. First of all this is my personal view, so feel free to disagree. I think that this movie is great. The story is not the most original one and I had my doubts when I first saw the movie but when the credits ...
