The Descent: Good flick but it loses steam

Tue, 3 Feb 2009 05:46:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coalminds - One of the ways to discover talent in a horror director is in watching the first 40 minutes of his film and analyzing how well he builds tension before there are deaths (usually they start at about the 40-45 minute mark). Here the build is done very...

The Descent: Great Movie

Sat, 2 Aug 2008 21:58:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pdickey - The decent is a great horror movie, one of the best movies about underground cave dwelling monsters I have ever seen. Monsters are realistic looking and the actresses are hot! Kept me on the age of my seat! Very intense. Believable characters. Great...

The Descent: Ascent to Descent

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 18:09:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author guidedbyjeremy - Good movie. It's about a group of die-hard chicks who want to go cave exploring in the middle of friggen' nowhere. These women end up getting caught in the cave with these odd-like dwellers(indescribable). The movie is freaky because these women are in...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author colinh810 - 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...

The Descent: One of the worst ever

Sat, 9 Jun 2007 03:41:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nauiscubafrog - 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...

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 21:53:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rainesmargaret - This is the most terrifying movie I have ever seen in my life. The preview doesn't make the movie look to good but it surprised me how good it was. I have never screamed so much in my life. Thinking back on it the plot was not that good and it seems like...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author velinda14 - I had heard so many good reviews about this movie - so what happened? Just awful - the characters were one dimensional, the comraderie was just forced, the plot wasn't very well developed... just...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author annngeoffshaw - I went to see this movie with my husband and we were shocked at how scary it was!! My husband said he expected a snooze fest because it has an all female cast but even her was very scared!! The movie takes place in a cave where the characters are...

The Descent: Intelligent movie

Sat, 30 Dec 2006 14:44:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cyberpresso - 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...

The Descent: Average

Wed, 8 Nov 2006 11:03:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jc51189 - This film was about average when it comes to horror films. A theme of cave exploring is rather boring however. Lots of blood and gore but low on thrills, this is a movie one would just want to watch...

The Descent: impressive!

Wed, 8 Nov 2006 09:34:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adam_g - I must saying going into this one i was a bit unsure. But it was good! Although i did'nt recognize any of the cast, they all put on a great performance. This one starts off somewhat slow, but later picks up the pace and the action. I recommend it to any...

The Descent: The Descent

Thu, 12 Oct 2006 13:58:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dionnah - This movie was the best horror movie I've seen this year. I'm a person that loves to go and see horror movies and after watching this one, it was on the top of my list. If you haven't seen it make sure you at least rent it, oh and make sure someone is...

The Descent: Screams never sounded this good

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 13:19:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sergheib - I was rather skeptic about the movie, seeing that it features women. But, oh boy, when I started watching, I couldn't get enough. The scenes are dark, scary, often bloody, and the actresses in the movie really manage to keep the atmosphere going. Ask...

The Descent: Fantastic Movie!

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 14:06:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kornkid_00 - This movie wasn't like most of these new horror movies of today. It didn't have the sexy teenagers. Instead, it had a simple storyline with some good old-school scary parts to it. If you like horror movies, I recommend you see this movie. Lots of blood...

The Descent: A good excuse for not going spelunking

Mon, 11 Sep 2006 13:46:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkwensky - 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...

The Descent: Scariest Movie Ever? Could Be . . .

Wed, 5 Jul 2006 20:23:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CATSocialD - 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...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carl_lazarevic - 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,...
