Editorial Review:
On an annual extreme outdoor adventure six women meet in a remote part of the Appalachians to explore a cave hidden deep in the woods. Far below the surface of the earth disaster strikes when a rock fall blocks their exit and there's no way out. The women push on praying for another exit but there is something else lurking under the earth. The friends are now prey forced to unleash their most primal instincts in an all-out war against an unspeakable horror - one that attacks without warning again and again and again.Special Features: Audio Commentary with Director Neil Marshall and Crew Audio Commentary with Director Neil Marshall and Cast "Making of THE DESCENT" Deleted and Extended Scenes Storyboard and Scene Comparison Still Gallery Cast and Crew Bios Outtakes DesEnding - An Interview with Director Neil Marshall TrailersSystem Requirements:Running Time: 99 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: UNRATED UPC: 031398206422 Manufacturer No: 20642
Claustrophobia and bloody mayhem collide in the high-adrenaline horror flick The Descent. Six women (including one who lost her husband and child the year before, and one who harbors a bitter secret) spelunk in an unexplored cavern system that turns out to harbor mysterious, predatory creatures. That sums up the story, but--as with writer-director Neil Marshall's previous low-concept movie, Dog Soldiers--the plot doesn't begin to describe the riveting, stomach-lurching thrills this movie provides. The script affords the relatively unknown cast (led by Shauna Macdonald and Natalie Mendoza, both excellent) just enough room to make their characters distinct and genuine, so that when they're dropped into utmost peril our empathy is engaged as much as our fear. The dynamic direction and editing make the cavern a palpable, physical presence, even before the creepy beasts crawl out of their nooks. This is not a movie for everyone; it is extremely gruesome and will induce panic attacks in anyone with even a mild fear of closed spaces. But for anyone seeking something smarter, faster, and more wrenching than static torture-fests like Saw or Hostel, The Descent will draw you into its unsettling ooze. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Geez! The Cave wasn't bad enough!
What can I truly say but that I honestly can't imagine what anyone was thinking when making this turkey! Look don't get me wrong I'm all for women getting their due in horror movies and getting the chance to save the day and all but I think that whoever made this forgettable horror movie made one little mistake! He made the entire cast one gender!! Which I hate the idea of for it's one-sidedness! And to be fair I also hated the movie Reservoir Dogs for being an all male cast! I just firmly believe ...

Rating:  - WOW!!! I really liked this movie.... ALOT!!!! just confused....
THE DESCENT is a great horror flick.... it has more thrills than the SAW franchise and more shock than most of the ghost stories out today...
6 women go on a trip to go cave dwelling in an "unknown" cave and are shut in... little do they know that there are creatures creepin round the cave while trying to get out the dark...
yes the movie is REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY slow in the beginning and does take an hour to get to the creatures but it is worth the wait....

Rating: - A "Descent" Into Sleeplessness...
At 51 years old, I consider myself an expert on horror, fantasy and science fiction films. I'm a collector of these films, and have an extensive library. I live for the day when a good one is released, being dissapointed so many times over the years, rushing to the cinema only to watch rehashed garbage. (I was so dissapointed by "The Ruins." Another example of a great idea gone bad.)
The main question to ask yourself while judging these films is did it scare you, plus did it do it in ... Read More
Rating: - Wow....And Wow Again....
It is a rarity these days when a horror movie presents something new. The Descent proves that there are still new boundaries to cross and new horror techniques to keep fans on the edge of their seats. It is not often that a movie can leave me open-mouthed in awe of its sheer brilliance. Emotional, thrilling, riveting, and downright brutal at times, The Descent has it all. This one is sure to impress any fan of the genre, especially those who don't fall for the typical Hollywood schlock. Instant entry ... Read More
Rating:  - Typical
For me the whole accident event at the beginning was irrelevant, it added nothing. The idea for the movie was good but I could see things going south early when the director would resort to completely unoriginal gimmicks like having a character start to turn back in the cave and the music blasts and whoooaaa, it's just her friend that she didn't know was right behind her even though there is no way someone could come up behind you in a pitch black cave wearing a light on her helmet and not know she was there. ...
