Omfg.
54:30 seconds into it i had to stop.
I am serious scared.
I'm done.
Fuck this movie.

Okay i had to finish it. And let me tell you now. If you can find a movie scarier then it i will pay you a million dollars. I am not lying at all. I don't know when it comes out but when it does GO BUY IT. It will scare the shit out of you. I'm having nightmares forever.

How in the heck did you get to see this movie? I've been waiting for this to come out for a long time.

I loved the director's first movie, Dog Soldiers, and people said this was even better. Can't wait till it comes out.

I can try and send it to you (if you have AIM) but it might take a while. You have a screen name?

Thanks, man, but my laptop's too crappy to download big files like that. Someone sent me a screenwriting program yesterday and it took an hour and a half to download.

I do have AIM though. Perhaps I should put that in my profile.

Thanks again.

I am annoyed with myself as I meant to write the first review for this back in June when I saw it at the cinema (I'm from the UK for those of you who don't know). I have it on DVD now (I can't BELIEVE this still hasn't been released in the U.S!) so I guess since there's a thread on it I should say my bit:

Absolutely one of the best (if not THE best) horror films I have ever seen. I'm sure these kind of words get thrown around by people all the time with films like SAW, and certain people on these boards who know what REAL horror is probably just roll their eyes at the ignorance of the person posting and move on to another thread. But seriously, this time it's the truth. I mean I personally liked the Saw films but not because I thought they were truly terrifying horror films, not at all. I know what real horror is, and this is it. I'm going to make a strong statement and say that if you don't like this film, you either can't call yourself a horror fan, or you're expectations of what a horror film should do have reached some level of pure ridiculousness as a result of all the crap that's been churned out recently, because I honestly don't see how it gets much better than this.

Sarah is trying to get on with her life after a terrible accident involving her and her family. Along with best friend Beth, she heads out into the Appalachians (it’s set in the U.S because one of the girls is American and they’re staying at her cabin, but this is a British production filmed in the UK) for a daredevil caving holiday with expert/too ambitious for her own good Juno (the American), thrill-seeking mentalist Holly, caving virgin Sam, and Sam's over-protective safety conscious sister Becca. Once inside the cave, an unexpected rock fall blocks their exit. While searching through the maze of tunnels for a way out, they find themselves hunted by a race of hungry predators, once humanoid but now monstrously adapted to live in the dark.

Although the creatures don't attack until 50 minutes into a 95 minute film, it's terrifying from start to finish. The shocking opening is possibly one of the best in existence. Never before have I seen an unexpected (and creative) jump-causing death, a beautifully executed and symbolic twist and harrowing emotion all rolled into a five minute pre-credits sequence! After this we swiftly meet the characters as they are reunited at the cabin. Some realistic and humorous dialogue ensured that I was rooting for these girls right from the start. The characters aren't heavily developed, but they all have distinct personalities which, along with their relationships with each other, are believable and enjoyable. This is the most boring part of the film and it isn't at all boring. We're treated to another breath taking and inspired jolt, which I doubt many (if any) will see coming. Then it's off to the cave (that's right, they're not even at the cave yet!). Tension builds as Juno secretly leaves the map of the cave behind. The girls descend and begin their adventure, squeezing their way through extremely narrow tunnels, hard hats scraping the rock a mere inch above them. This will have any average person squirming with discomfort, and any serious claustrophobics hyperventilating at the thought of being in their situation. The rock fall follows, and then the reason why Juno left the map behind is revealed, only increasing the level of dread even more. The nail biting continues as Becca attempts a risky climb to help the others, and then a couple of girls suffer some nasty injuries (don't watch if you're faint of heart, they really are painful to look at!) to make matters worse, and at this point I'm going "I'm absolutely terrified and we haven't even seen a f**king creature yet!". I swear this film could've dropped the whole creature part and still have been scarier than most horror films I've seen.

When the creatures finally do attack, it's well worth the wait. 45 minutes of relentless, suspenseful and very gory action. The raw performances and horrifying events just build and build to the point of being almost emotionally draining for the viewer. I have yet to even mention the brilliant direction and effective score because it's hard to notice these aspects when the story and action are so involving and terrifying. I won't spoil the ending, but it's one of the best I've ever seen. Once again it's harrowing stuff (the acting in these scenes is just brilliant and brought tears to my eyes) and the score really kicks in here with an amazing piece that compliments what's happening on screen perfectly. And if you're anything like me, you'll be left feeling like someone just threw a brick at your stomach.

If I'm straining for some gripes, then I could complain that on one occasion there is some quick cutting that made the action hard to follow. Also, since the creatures only feature in the remaining 45 minutes, the characters are killed off in quick succession and only once are we really given time to mourn and take in what's happened. But these are small things that didn't really bother me. I just didn't want to sound like I couldn't find a flaw since very rarely is a film perfect.

THE DESCENT is a film I can't recommend enough. It has everything a good film needs; a cool story, believable characters, slick direction, an effective musical score, great performances and brilliant ending. Along with these things, it has everything else a good horror film needs; a scary premise, tonnes of suspense, an abundance of scares and jumps and bucket load of gore (if you feel a horror film NEEDS that). Finally, it is living proof that a horror masterpiece can come out of a relatively low budget. I believe it was made for £3 million, probably around $6 million. Never before has a horror film scared me so consistently and made be jump so hard (with the exception of FINAL DESTINATION's bus hit). It put me on an emotional rollercoaster and I left the theatre feeling numb. Neil Marshall really knows his sh*t. I haven't seen DOG SOLDIERS so I can't compare (but I can pretty much guarantee that this one is better), and I'm not going to rave about British horror, as out of the films I've seen, this and 28 DAYS LATER are the only ones I'd bother to write home about (and this is way better than 28 Days Later too). What I will say is this; The Descent is balls-to-the-wall horror, and it sure ain't Hollywood.

10/10

I only recently heard of this one, and while everyone keeps saying how good it is and I really enjoyed "Dog Soldiers" I can't help but notice that this sounds an awful lot like that recent horror bomb, "The Cave."  Though, I'm going to bet that this one is much, much better.

...

Though, now that I think about it, I guess this was probably made before "The Cave."  Well, then, forget the above, this movie's gonna kick ass!

Wat has everyone got against Saw?

I can't say for sure, but I would bet that those that really liked "Saw" are just a more vocal minority in the horror film community vs. a more silent majority.  It seems that everyone I talk to did not enjoy either of the "Saw" films nearly as much as those that rate the films on imdb (both movies currently have a 7+ score out of ten).

As for myself, I would say the first is sort of decent, with two really, really weak performances bringing it down big time (that of writer Leigh Wennell and the usually very reliable Cary Elwes).  Also, I just did not see it as the end-all horror film that hype had made it out to be.  Had there been no hype, there is no doubt in my mind that I probably would have liked it more, which I suppose is not really the film's fault.  As for "Saw 2," I just thought it plain sucked.  More bad acting (except for the guy who played Jigsaw, though he was really just a poor man's Anthony Hopkins), a really stupid script (why was every character retarded?), and one of the worst twist endings ever.

Look, I understand that when most see a horror flick, they see it as just a fun time, and they don't mind turning their brains off for an hour and a half.  And there are certain movies out there that I enjoyed because I could shut my mind off (like "Van Helsing" or, more recently, the "Doom" movie).  But I miss smart horror flicks.  I don't like that most critics can now dismiss s**tty teen slasher flicks as garbage and nothing more... and when crap like "When A Stranger Calls" is coming out once a month, I don't blame them.  Sure, stuff like "Friday the 13th" is certainly enjoyable, but why can't we get anymore "Halloween"'s or "Dawn of the Dead"'s (though, to be fair, I thought the remake did a very good job too)?

Now, one might say I'm going painfully off topic, but here's where I'm going to bring it all together, I swear.  It seems that for the past few years, most of the really solid horror flicks have been coming from across the pond (to some on these boards, of course, this does not concern you).  "Dog Soldiers," "Haute Tension," "28 days later...," and now "The Descent" as well as the Russian film, "Night Watch."  I believe it is these fine British, French, and Russian filmmakers that will be saving the genre.

Sorry about writing the essay, but it is a subject I feel very passionately about.

Andrew, can u please send it to me through email or IM, whatever. It sounds kool...please????? I'll PM you  my IM address

I went and ordered the dvd off Amazon UK after reading the good reviews on here. Overall: pretty good, but hardly a classic.

I'm not a big horror buff, but I've seen my fair share. My interest in the genre kind of dwindled after seeing some of the crap Hollywood has been churning out recently (House of Wax anyone?)

Anyway, I thought this was great for about an hour. The opening 'shock' got my attention right away and set the tone for what was to come. Once we got inside the cave, the suspense built up very well. I had to ignore the shoddy CGI when the bats flew out though. Pretty soon, the claustrophobia set in and I was literally squirming in my seat. Excellent stuff so far.
The film reached a climax around the hour mark with a great shock death and then it was standard hack and slash with way to much screen time for our Gollum-looking friends. The last 30 minutes were terrible and tainted my experience of the excellent opening. It was like watching two different movies. A taut, superbly paced thriller, followed by a mindless gore-fest. The final fight sequence was just comical. I was literally laughing. For the first hour, I was lapping up the suspense, but as soon as we got our first glimpse of the monsters, the tension was gone, replaced by a bunch of repetitive ass-kicking heroics from some puny women armed with bones, yes, bones. Once you've seen one Gollum get stabbed in the head, you've seen enough. No need to repeat the trick on ten more Gollums.
It ended up very much like Pitch Black what with the "don't move, they can't see you" device, which was hammered home with some incredibly clunky exposition from the girl who struggled almost as much with her dodgy accent as with the delivery of said lines. "They must be completely blind and navigate by sound, like bats.." She must've seen Pitch Black too.
I'm not sure why people are raving about the ending either. It's nothing special and none too original either.

That said, I did enjoy this movie and it's a lot better than your average horror flick. I just wish they'd kept up the suspense and not blown it with a rampant gore-fest at the end. It's deftly directed and pretty well written with some decent performances but ultimately let down by a weak third act.

What a great movie.  Now that is what a scary movie is supposed to be like.  I was a little mad that Juno didn't survive because she was kicking some Gollum ass, but other than that this is one of the greatest horror movies I have ever seen.

And the ending was classic.

**** out of ****

This film is scheduled to be released in theatres in August, but I was lucky enough to find this on DVD at a nearby flea market, a few blocks from my campus. I was pretty confused at finding this here, the man told me he'd bootlegged it from a region 2 DVD. I told him I would come back and demand my money back if the DVD didn't work or it was poor quality. It wasn't at all, the picture is clear and the sound is loud. Its the actual region 2 DVD.

SPOILERS -

This film is so brilliant, I couldn't stress that enough even if I could. Its scary beyond imagination, has an excellent opening and ending, and the characters are very likable. But, one problem, it is soo easy to get Rebecca and Sam confused with one another.

The first encounter with the "crawlers" was pure attack time, never would I have expected them to revealed in such a way. SCARY! SCARY! SCARY! I thought the setup of Beth's watch was amazing and unexpected, that entire scene with Beth and Rebecca was sheer suspense.

I DON'T WANT TO SAY NO MORE....just see it in August.

But I am ashamed at Lionsgate for "fixing" up the ending, it isn't needed. Certain scenes with Sarah's daughter aren't going to make sense anymore, but whatever.

-ONEY

How come the US didnt get this one ages ago? Bizarre. This has been out for ages so I was surprised to see it mentioned on here.

I always thought they recieved UK films within the same time we recieved theirs; couple of weeks if less.

Anyway, this is a good film and worth taking a look at. It's very refreshing in a way and definitly enjoyable.

I would say the best UK horror in a long timem but agree with Dr Mabuse. The finale was a dissapointment in what really could have been a real "classic". As it is, it's just another horror.

If they changed the ending, I'm not going to see it.  That's what sets this movie apart from the lackluster American horror films that have come out of late.

Let's pick up the pace America!  Looks like I found my way into the business.  My country is in dire need of some good horror films.  Keep 'em coming Britain.  

I'm surprised no one's decided to exhume this thread considering the film hit North America a week ago. Anyway, I saw it so I figured I would rather than senselessly starting a new thread.

I feel confident in saying this is the second solid horror movie I've seen this year. Like Hostel, it was perhaps a little overhyped but not nearly as much (at least Neil Marshall didn't mention names that automatically set standards for his film he couldn't live up to). Nevertheless, I thought it was a supurbly made, original horror movie.

The highlight of The Descent was definitely the atmosphere. I think this is one of the only horror movies I've seen that featured "true darkness," meaning the light seen on screen (helmet lights, flashlights, glowsticks, etc.) were the only ones on screen. It really set a realistic tone for the film. I think all horror movies should be done this way.

There were some cheap scares but weren't played off as obnoxiously melodramatic as most American horror movies. For the most part, it was the suspense that drove the film and the monsters (crawlers, I believe?) were actually pretty hideous for a change; they didn't look like they came straight out of K&B Workshop. I particularly liked the underwater monster. That scene definitely brought Lucio Fulci's Zombie to mind.

I actually believe the film could've been equally enticing without the monsters and just the women trapped in a cave. I've been caving myself on several occasions and what I saw on screen felt pretty realistic to me. It's also a scary thought to be trapped in a cave, like these characters, and the scene of traversing the underground cliff was also pretty suspenseful.

I actually enjoyed the third act. After two acts of slow pacing and suspenseful, I think it's forgivable to turn the story into a splatterfest. This doesn't apply to all horror movies but for this one, I think it did. I was also very impressed by the very end of the film, regarding the closure to the surviving characters. I didn't think Hollywood was capable of having an ending like this. It felt much more shocking and true to life. I don't know how the original ending went but I liked this one a lot. It felt like something I would write into one of my own scripts.

All in all, very solid horror flick with most, if not, all the right elements in place. If you're into this kind of thing, I highly recommend you check out The Descent.

I thought the Descent was one of the best movies to come out last year! I was practically blown away by it. It was the first movie in years to actually frighten me.

I love the slow build up, and the characters and for once I actually thought the tension between the characters was just as unnerving as the physichal threat in the creatures (most of the time I find when people say that the suspense is BETWEEN the characters it's a bunch of pretentious crap).

I've heard the argument about the last 30 minutes being standard hack'n slash before, but I disagree. While the final act has much more pace and action, I feel they pull it off without it seeming mindless and gratuitous. For one reason: Sarah. Her transformation and vengeance is the catalyst and all the violence and terror that ensues is just an extension of her. In other words I found it to be completely apt.

I love the Descent and own it on DVD but think I'm gonnoa have put down money for the special edition soon.

Now let's wait for the Hollywood remake starring Buffy.

How did the movie end for those of you who saw the film in American theaters?

I'm curious 'cause I heard all sorts of shit.

Man, I remember seeing The Descent in the cinema more than a year ago. I've still got the ticket for it and the date reads 16th of July 2005! I was surprised to see this just coming out in the states but I guess with this type of film, it's better late than never. You get such a brilliant experience from the cinema. It's probably one of the most scariest films I've seen to date and it wasn't annoying like a load of other horror movies in the way the script and some of the characters are so stupid and pathetic. The character's in The Descent were great... being an all female cast, I think that's really cool. It's different and so was the entire movie. There's not a lot of resemblance to The Cave really other than they're both in a cave. I'm pretty sure no one copied off anyone seeing as they both came out almost the same time (over in the UK anyway). Of course, The Descent is the only cave horror you should see right now.

I guess I can actually admit that parts of this film inspired me to write my upcoming horror title The Vent. Its claustrophobic, dark look and feel was one scary ass thing to watch and those 'crawlers' were pretty damn scary too.

I can safely say that I would recommend this to anyone who loves horror or would love to feel your heart racing and your body sweating pints. It's the way a horror movie should be made and what a horror movie should make you feel.

I really didn't want to see this movie but my friend dragged me to it. She said she almost fell asleep during the first hour but when things started to pick up, they really started to pick up. And, dear God, that chick was terrifying. Both the main, main characters were when they were hacking at the monsters. That blonde chick looked like Carrie for last 15 minutes. But, it was funny because we were surrounded by teenagers and when something jumped out, you'd hear all these cuss words than everybody chuckling.

I liked how all the characters were women. That's strange for a horror film. And there was no sex that usually is added on to slasher films. And British!

I read in Entertainment Weekly that the original ending was cut for the release in the U.S. Bummer. But the ending was OK. That last, rather cliched jump before the credits. All in all, it was good. And that pond of blood made me gag. God, that was terrible.

SPOILER WARNING FOR THE AMERICAN ENDING:

So the American cut ends with Juno suddenly sitting next to her in the car or something like that?

SPOILER END

You must see the original ending then! I can't stress this enough! It completely changes the film. It's so much more...disturbing.

Saw "Descent" last week and I can't tell if it's great, or just very good because of the over-hyping.
I had the same reaction with "Dog Soldiers."
A second viewing of the latter film convinced me it was not just great, but one of my all-time werewolf faves.
I'm hoping for the same reaction of Descent with another viewing.

SPOILERS

Do not view the following until you've seen the film.

For those of us who have seen the movie, but have not had the pleasure of seeing the UK ending, take a look.

Then be the judge.

I prefer the UK version.

Quoted from Abe from LA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wP7zx8ecqY

Thanks for the link, Abe.

SPOILERS...

Whoa, she's lost it for sure. It seems to me the last scene is a hallucination to show that in her mind, she's still in the cave. Very cool. I wish this had been included in the version I saw.

STILL SPOILERS

That's one interpretation. But I remember Neill Marshall saying on the commentary that she doesn't ever leave the cave, neither mentally nor physichally.

I think she imagines her escape, which is why it makes sense that Juno appears even though she surely died.

I just love how she hunches exactly like the creatures in the end!

SPOILERS




That was a more realistic ending. A couple people on YouTube suggested that there were no crawlers at all, that Sarah killed all her friends (seeing as she killed 5 "crawlers" the same number of friends in the cave) but that kind of calls Juno into question.

That chick is absolutely insane.

Yeah I've heard that as well. It's neat speculation, but ultimately probably a bit too complex for its own good, you know? Like you said, it begs the question: what about Juno?

It's funny, ever since The Usual Suspects, Fight Club and The Sixth Sense people are beginning to see 'dream endings', split personalities and metaphors everywhere!

"I see, so it was all in her head...?"  

Alright, just read EW's review for the Decent. Let me tell you, I am shocked. They gave it an A!!! I thought this movie was going to be a bomb, but hey. I guess I'm wrong.

Cant wait to see it.

Ok, so I'm slow to post.

I just finished watching this movie. Not horrible, but fell way short of my expectations. I was so convinced that I would love this film, but I'm sorry to say, I did not.

THE biggest problem was that I didn't give a rodents derrier about any of the characters. I just finished watching it and I can't for my life remember any of the character's names.

I also wished they would have delayed showing the monsters. They were just plain silly, and why did they sound like THE PREDATOR in same named film?

I'm no expert on Native Americans, but why are they always portrayed as people only capable of doodling buffalos? Were there a lot of buffalos on the steep hills of Appalachia?

Anyway, like I said, it wasn't horrible, but it sure fell way short of my expectations.

I love this movie so much. The best of 2006. It's scary and can portray real-life situations (well, maybe the crawlers can happen ). The part that made me the most uncomfortable was when Sarah got stuck in the cave and began to get claustrophobic (since I have claustrophobia in me).

The part that gives me the chills every time I see this movie is when...



SPOILERS

Sarah (I think it's Sarah) is filming with the camera on night vision, and all the girls are screaming for help, and Beth screams out, "Hello!" And a creature appears right behind her. That part and when Sarah is filming Holly being torn apart by the crawlers.


Needless to say, I feel everyone should see this movie. One of the best of 2006. It's scary, suspenseful, thrilling, and I think the characters were well thought out, and the actresses were great.

SPOILERS #2

And also, the awesome death scene at the beginning where the poles go through Sarah's husband and daughter's head.


GO SEE THIS FILM!

The Descent kicked ass on IMDB's poll "best horror film of 2006."

Another resurrected movie thread on a film I've seen recently. Here were my thoughts on it:

Wow! That was really something. This horror flick about six women who venture into an unexplored cave threatens to be old, boring, or cliche, but comes off as a very good suspense movie.

Quite simply, you have a group of thrill-seeking women, who are looking to have a little spelunking adventure in a cave in the Appalachian Mountains. They get down in there, have a cave in, and discover their friend has brought them into an entirely new cave with no map and no known way out. See? It's movies like these that make me NOT want to go spelunking...ever. I don't have claustrophobia, but I can't handle situations like this.

It did play on a fear I do have. I'm not afraid f the dark, per se. I'm afraid of what might be IN the dark. Yikes.

Anyway, they make decent progress until they learn this cave is inhabited, and the creatures inhabiting it are rather hungry. They find out some good info about the creatures after they kill off (and eat) some of their party, and surmise there must be another way out since these creatures bring animals underground to eat. So the film becomes a race against the creatures. Will they get out, or get eaten?

Character-wise, this film is well done. I got a sense of each one of the party members, especially the main one whose family factors prominently in the teaser. The thought that something would happen to them did make me feel sorry for them. The film was so overall relatable from a general perspective that it was easy to get into and forget you're watching a film. I admit to jumping quite a few times when stuff happened. Since the plot was simple, more time was given to the development of the characters. And further, since they were all women, they spok freely about everything -- something not believable had there been a man in the group.

Plot wise, we're not dealing with rocket science. Get into a cave, get trapped, work against not only your failing and dwindling equipment, but eventually against some baddies to escape. We get some good claustrophobic moments as well as lots of dark area around the characters where just anything could happen. The creatures are powerful enough to be a significant threat, and since they live in the dark, they're somewhat scary as well.

I will say it got a little tedious for while as they went from cave to cave, and then after the initial attack of the creatures. I wanted it to get moving again, but it wasn't bad, and was probably just the tension.

There was even a bit of a character conflict twist thrown in during the first attack. This played out in several subsequent scenes, ending in a just desserts kind of ending for that character. It really showed the animal coming out in one of them. It makes you wonder where the creatures really came from, as that is never fulled covered (and honestly didn't need to be; we got enough).

I will complain a little about the reversal at the very, very end. I saw the unrated original version, and the end kind of fools you. I really didn't like the way it ended and I understand the American theatrical release ended it on a more upbeat note.

This was a fun movie. It was simple with good characters, and quite a few nice scares to it. It built suspense and tension, and made sense as it all rolled out. Definitely worth seeing.

[SPOILER]

Well is it a bad thing that the film fools you? It's doesn't trick you, like, say, Domino did with flashbacks that didn't really happen at all, it simply revisits Sarah's psyche as it did in the beginning when she runs out of the hospital and the lights go out. The set-up is there.

Personally, I feel the American ending (in more than one way, but now I'm being mean ) was forced and felt very tagged on, and I think it was dishonest to the character of the film. It was the kind of 'jump' scene that you expect from a bland teenage horror movie.
Sure, the somewhat up-beat ending feels good right away, because you want Sarah to live, but when you start to think about it, that was never how the movie was supposed to end. I couldn't. I guess that's why Neill Marshall didn't want it. Having Sarah live, is like Requiem for a Dream only with a tagged on ending where Ellen Burstyn comes on TV, And Harry and Marion make their dreams come true. It would be nice, but it's an impossible ending, and disloyal to the film.

[/SPOILER]

I think The Descent is probably one of the best Horror-films in 15 years. I'd be hard pressed to name more than 5 to rival it.

Holy SHIT! I just saw this, and wow. I put off watching it for a while cuz I figured it 'd just be a good but cliche zombie-esque movie, in the same vein as a 28 Days Later or something, which I did enjoy, but I didn't think the Descent would effect me how it did. I literally think that this is the best horror movie ever made after seeing it. And shows once again, that America can't make a decent horror movie to save it's life.

SPOILERS

What was cool about it is that there are the creatures that they have to get away from, so you go it thinking that's going to be the whole movie, but it's not. There are so many different types of scares that take place in this movie that it creates like the highest level of suspense and terror I've ever experienced in a movie. This is AT ONE TIME, the nastiest, most real, goriest, creepiest, most painful, heart breaking and disgusting horror movie ever. And the fact that it portrayes a group of women is just fantastic. These were some pretty hardcore chicks, which you rarely ever get to see them displayed in this manner.

But there are so many different ways to be scared in this movie, it's not just the creatures, it's everything they have to put up with. All of your deepest fears one could think of is utilized in this. Claustrophobia, fear of the unknown, the dark, death, who you can trust, and had some parts that made me jump (which are my favorite kind but rarely ever happens) There is such a high level of tension created in this movie, that it really is mind boggling to me.

It had a great look to it as well. I loved the different color schemes, going from blue, to yellow, to red, to black, to green. And the writing and acting was great and made it all seem real. Rarely ever is watching a movie a great experience like this. I hope everyone who loves horror movies watches this.
