The Descent

Pros: Script, Cast, intensity, Marshall's homages are back
Cons: I can't say, but it comes right at the end.

The other day; while I was tidying the shelves of the Blockbusters I work at, a strange thought hit me. We have an entire section dedicated to horror there and none of the films appeal to me. I realized that no matter how popular the horror genre is, ...

Pros: highly scary and stimulating, very well acted, involving, unpredictable
Cons: ending, fails to retain noticeable staying power on first viewing.

I must give thanks to milli nocket for adding this film to the database. This film was released in Britain three months ago and is soon coming to DVD over here too, but has not yet been given an American release. Maybe ...

Pros: Execution of scenes, movie pace, above average acting for horror film, girl power, no sex

Pros: Terrifying, Good Ensemble Cast, Great Cinematography, Good Relationships, Unyielding Panic

I am not a fan of horror movies. However, I still mark this movie as a must-see for this year. Any plot summary would be a little pointless, as any good horror movie depends almost entirely upon its technical elements, but I give one anyway. A group ...

Pros: Started out great. Psychologically thrilling during the first half.
Cons: Turns into horror film.

The movie starts out with a group of women that reunite after one has lost a daughter in a car crash. They sort of plan this get-together adventure weekend to go cave climbing. Some unrealisitc aspects questions come up to me right away: how is it women ...

Pros: Effect, story, psychology behind the main character
Cons: More blood please.

You know, sometime, a horror movie is different than all other commercial products on the market. A movie with no "cliche", no easy joke and situation. The descent was my big big surprise. I watch horror movies since i'm 12. I'm a fan of real masterpiece ...

Pros: Solid pacing, good special effects, above average character development in horror
Cons: Didn't really cover any new ground.

The Descent, a promising new film from writer/director Neil Marshall, looked like the British version of the boxer office bomb The Cave, which came out last year. As a big fan of monster slashers I found The Cave to be a big letdown. The ...

Pros: Good story line, Suspense
Cons: Creatures

Ok, so this movie looked very intriguing from the previews. Let me warn you this may contain spoilers! It's about a group of girls who go on an adventure! Sounds fun right? They go and find a cave and descend down into it. Again...no harm? They then ...

Pros: Thrills and chills, claustrophobic setting
Cons: movie felt like it was over too quick, a little incomplete

Intro My friend suggested that we watching "The Descent" and when I six girls appeared on the screen I knew why my friend had suggested it. I dont think I need to explain why I had low expectations of this movie. About the Movie The ...

Pros: All the characters were really sexy.
Cons: Everything else besides the attractive females.

Allow me to begin by saying that I love cheesy horror movies. You name it, I've seen it. That said, do not waste you precious life by watching this movie. The plot in this tripe-flick was overly simplistic and contrite. Girls seek to prove that ...

Pros: Girl power. Good looking cast.
Cons: The end was a bad and the middle was prolonged.

In Neil Marshall’s ‘Dog Soldiers’ a bunch of blokes went into the forest and scary things happened. In this ferocious, blood-drenched follow-up, a bunch of women drop into a cave system in the Appalachian Mountains… and scary things ...

Pros: Female role models, Originality, Adventure, Action
Cons: A little preachy

Breaking the mold of typical chick flicks, The Descent features a group of young women who seek their good times in the most unlikely of places - caves! This film details the story of a girls' weekend in the woods, filled with gossip, laughter, and - ...

Pros: -Scary
-One of the best closing fifteen minutes I've ever seen.
-Scary, seriously.
Cons: I can't think of any major gripe that detracts from the movie experience.

I never saw The Descent when it came out because I, unfortunately, lumped it into the category of "Modern Horror Flicks That Suck". This it is not. My friend made me watch it not too long ago, insisting that it was "kind of scary". I am a huge horror ...

Pros: -great actions scence
-amount of gore
-storyline
Cons: never find out alot about the creatures

From begining to end I must agree that this movie was very exciting to watch if you are a true horror film watcher. The accident that occurs in the beginning was a perfect set up for the back story of what is happening between all these friends. A secret ...

Pros: It can be fun to make fun of with a group of friends.
Cons: It was rather boring for a horror movie.

I've seen quite a few horror movies, ranging from classics to the ones that are shown only on the Sci-Fi channel. I've seen fantastic ones and even sat through some really poor ones. Honestly, this one was one of the more ridiculous newer horror movies ...
