Awfully good little horror movie from Marshall. Although the caves in The Descent are nothing more than a haunted house, it all works beautifully thanks to a talented all-female cast and strong atmosphere. Marshall feels way more confident in this than in his rather clumsy Dog Soldiers although the final half-hour is somewhat rushed. Beware of the chopped theatrical version and watch in full darkness to heighten the effect.

One of the best horror movies in recent years. Sets a mood, throws out believable baddies, and spices everything up with the psychological battle amongst the main characters. Goodness.

(second viewing) I kinda went overboard with my 83 from before. An intriguing premise and enjoyable first half gets ruined by a campy and loud 2nd part. An adequate horror film but not one for the books...

The all girl cast was surprisingly bearable. Tough chicks are usually poorly handled, but these strong personalities feel distinct and their early banter is quite fun. Once caving, the tension builds nicely and the claustrophobia certainly does grip. Even without the horror this is still compelling. Sadly, as those elements are added it loses power: the more they showed, the easier I breathed. Inconsistent creature traits didn't help either. Still, for a low budget horror this is impressive.

Probably the best actual creature movie in a while. Maybe since Critters... HA! It took a while to get into but it was suspenseful as hell. Although after hearing all this talk that the original ending was better, I watched the original ending and i did not like it as much.

Oh. My. God. I haven't been so satisfied with a story arc in a horror movie since...I don't know that I ever have. Just the look in the eyes of the main character for the last quarter of the film...chilling. The viciousness of the fight scenes also made me squeal with glee. I'm not afraid to admit that.

This movie would have worked for me even without the monsters as I suffer from some amount of claustrophobia and crawling in caves just generally scares me. Good cast.
