IMDB Summary: A caving expedition goes horribly wrong, as the explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators.
The Crunch: To describe this film in one word, it would have to be intense. From the moment we follow the all-girl group down into the cave, viewers are sent on wild rollercoaster ride which does not stop until the final frame. Not simply a hack and slash horror film, The Descent plays on psychological fears of viewers whilst maintaing a reasonably enjoyable narrative.
The factor which makes this movie such an enjoyable experience is the atmosphere which it creates. A claustrophobic nightmare for anyone, without giving away any spoilers, the film is frightning enough before things get even worse for the girls.
The Descent is by far one of the most frightning, intense, on-the-edge-of-your-seat cinematical experiences I have had for quite some time. With a sequel on the cards for later in the year, this may offer a greater understanding and mythology of answers, however, could ultimately destroy the series.
The Verdict: 9 stars out of 10
