Review
The descent is purely terrifying. It will provide you with an experience that relates entirely to those of the characters on screen. Each one is trapped isolated and alone. In that theatre you will understand the fear of having no escape. The film like its big brother Dog Soldiers takes British horror to its deserved glory. Unlike such films as Creep which was a complete mess The Descent is a chilling experience that places believable characters into a situation that is strangely real despite the obvious fiction. After a quarter of the film has passed you pray for the characters escape as in a way you will also be saved from the mental onslaught that drives into your mind throughout. I didnt expect anything from this film before I walked into the theatre it yet it is the greatest horror I have ever seen and am likely to for a very long time.
