After a year’s hiatus due to a terrible family tragedy, you decide it’s time to hook up with your girls and shake the bad memories on a spelunking outing.
You head to a remote area of the Appalachian Mountains to some charted caves recommended by a spelunking guide, according to one of your group members. You embark with 6 friends into the caves from the highpoint in the mountain…down…down…down through the bowels of the mountain in search of an exit at a lower point.

Then two of a plethora of bad things happen. A tunnel that you came through is sealed off leaving you only one way to go…down. And your partner reveals the reality that a guide didn’t recommend the caves at all; she thought it would make the excursion more adventurous in unexplored caves. There is no charted way out.
Think that’s a problem? How about shining your light down the next tunnel where you see an eerie human-ish looking figure crouched in the dark peering back at you?
The Descent has chills. There’s high suspense. It goes without saying that there are good old fashioned jump-out-of-the-dark scares (they are in a cave!). No special effects needed here to generate excitement. The creatures are well designed and scary.
The story flows very well. The acting is better than the average Horror flick. And Director Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers) keeps a better than average flow of twists and turns coming.
Do indeed see it if you’re into the genre. The Descent is one of the movies on my Amazon Listmania List, “15 Flicks Guaranteed To Leave A Permanent Impression”.
Note: The US theatrical version had a lame ending compared to the original UK version. The US DVD release gives you the option of which ending you’d prefer to view. Go with the original.
I’m not typically accustomed to going “gaga” over horror films. It’s not that I don’t like them, I love them–but truth be told, it’s hard to find genuinely good ones. I’m entertained by lots of the gory, splatter films that have recently dominated the box office. Usually, however, it’s a matter of accepting the limitations within these films and getting whatever enjoyment you can out of the scenarios. It’s been a very long time since I thought of a current horror movie as a 5 star event, so nothing could have surprised me more than “The Descent.”
The preliminary setup is a good one. Our heroines begin to explore some unknown, uncharted cave systems and quickly become trapped. Now our ladies must use their resourcefulness and intelligence to try to get out. The dynamics start to play out between the women–good and bad–and a real fear for survival starts to set in. We are squarely in a man versus nature psychological thriller atmosphere. It recalls for me “Open Water”–a film whose horror is about helplessness and being stranded, not about sharks.
But just as soon as I was sure where I was headed, the rug was pulled out. The last third becomes a monstrously bloody battle for survival. It is so well choreographed, I was sucked in wholeheartedly. And far from being victims–our heroines exhibit intelligence, brutality, resilience, loyalty and a real survival instinct. We’ve got some real female empowerment going on! For pure horror, this film goes out with a real bang.
I was completely blindsided by this one. There’s a good screenplay, a credible backstory, appealing actresses, great cinematography and nice effects.
“The Descent” may not be the “best” movie I see this year–but as a pure adrenaline rush, I promise you it will be one of my favorites. KGHarris, 12/06.
