November 3, 2009"I'm an English teacher, not fucking Tomb Raider."
I was told that this was the best horror film in years, led to believe it was an absolutely terrifying, nightmare inducing masterpiece. So you can imagine how interested I was in seeing it, but, when i finally did, I was beyo...( read more) -
October 4, 2009The Descent is purely terrifying. It will provide you with an experience that relates entirely to those of the characters on screen. Each one is trapped, isolated and alone. In that theatre, you will understand the fear of having no escape. The film, like it's big brother 'Dog So...( read more)

September 18, 2009Neil Marshall is fast becoming one of the best horror directors of resent years. This is a great film!
-
April 26, 2009Six women become lost spelunking in a cave inhabited by vicious blind hunters. A unique setting for a horror film, and it's very exciting with fearsome lighting and editing once they finally get into the cave; but it's fronted by 30 minutes of backstory that never has any payoff...( read more)

March 19, 2009This is a horror film that's both scary in a serious way and fun in a cheesy way. Think Alien and Aliens in the same movie.

November 22, 2009Having never seen The Descent before, I had been wanting to check it out after hearing so much positive feedback about it. I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. The movie was a very good modern day horror movie with all the right amounts of horror and suspense rolled in. I th...( read more)

November 21, 2009When I watched it. I thought this is how a horror movie should be!! Having an all female cast made this movie great!!

November 18, 2009It wasn't the worst , but it sort've had the same problems as Doomsday. The Carpenter references are way to obvious. Its main flaw was in the dialogue and the fact that the girls turned into action stars out of no where. The effects and cinematography were really great looking, b...( read more)

SheriffBufordTJustice: Save yourself from torture and watch 'The Cave'. Most guys watch this for the distressed women XD -
November 7, 2009Exceptionally good modern horror film that is both gory AND genuinely suspenseful and scary. Neil Marshall is proving himself to be a pretty good director, and this is example B to back that up. The performances are pretty good, and bring some real feeling and emotion to the alre...( read more)

Claudia Puig, USA Today
For my money, [the] first 20 or so minutes are the best in the film. Once the real adventure gets underway in the cave, things get less interesting. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Prepare to be scared senseless, and then, when you think you have it figured, your certainty will be shaken by scenes built to scare you even more. full review
August 3, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It plays every emotional key of fright and despair with the skill of a concertmaster at a cathedral organ. full review
July 17, 2006
Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
Essentially a more grave, and less unintentionally hilarious, version of The Cave. full review
