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

Cons: its dark,the accents are a little difficult understanding
Summary: The commercial preview's had me leaning out of my seat. I had to purchase this movie. I love how there are women throughout the entire film and it's not degrading towards women at all. I love but sometimes hate the accents since its a little difficult ... read more

Pros: Very scary, original plot
Cons: Slow developing plot
Summary: Going into this movie I had very low expectations. From the outside looking in a figured it to be a typical zombie flick with some corny scares. However I was SORELY mistaken. The Descent is an outstanding story about a bunch of friends that get ... read more

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

-storyline
Cons: never find out alot about the creatures

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.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Good scenery, adequate areas of surprise and suspense.
Cons: Very poor acting, dull dialogue, no emotional attachment, and it was too long.
Summary: Just as this review's title suggests...it's just not worth watching at all. Once you actually get to the action you're so wrapped up in what the backgrounds of the characters are you forget that it's supposed to be a horror/action/adventure film. ... read more

Pros: Scenery
Cons: acting, storyline
Summary: Movie wasn't horrible as I thought it would be when I first went to go watch it in the theaters. Maybe that is why I did not think it was so bad as I expected to be horrible from the movie trailer shown on TV. Either way I would not say its like dreadful ... read more

Pros: Exciting Adrenaline Rush
Cons: Weak Plot
Summary: The Descent is an interesting movie experience. While not too complex of plot, this horror movie does make a valiant effort to make an interesting storyline to complement the visual shock of a horror movie. With plenty of gore for those classic horror ... read more

Cons: BAD ACTING, POOR PLOT, ANNOYING, NOT WORTH RENTING

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

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