The Descent Audience Reviews

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
ownplanet I just admit that I was feeling sick in the middle of this movie.Very good atmosphere has shown with very good acting.You people start to enjoy at very beginning after hitting the play button.have a good time with this movie.
Matthew Angley I've heard and read a few reviews that this was a good horror flick. I'm still trying to figure out what all the buzz was about and how it scored 7/10 stars on here. Did we watch the same movie? Because the one I watched had mediocre acting and a predictable story. For one, we saw way too much of "the crawlers" and they lost their ability to scare us pretty early on. Not to mention they weren't really that scary to begin with. They look like humanoid aliens but definitely not anything that would haunt my dreams. There was no suspense because it was predictable. You knew what was behind every blind corner waiting to the point where I considered turning it off. It became pretty obvious about halfway through that no one but the main character was making it out alive. There was some cheap gore and some even cheaper jump scares along the way. I expected better for the score it has on here. Disappointed I wasted a night watching what essentially amounted to a lame summer teen scream
skurtzcrv For the most part I enjoyed this movie. The table was set at the beginning with two friends, a probable affair, tragic accident and an opportunity to re-visit/resolve issues while on a cave spelunking adventure with friends. I felt within the first few minutes of the movie that the direction, script and characters were well developed and could lead to a great movie. The tension between the two main characters was great and pretty well acted. The cave scenes were also excellent for generating a wonderful sense of isolation and foreboding. The problem I had with the film was that it was really two movies in one with the director unable to decide which way to go. The conflict could have played out well in so many different ways without so many other characters involved. I also felt the crawlers were overplayed and maybe even unnecessary except for creating ambiguity surrounding Sarah's actions at the end toward Juno. Was it revenge, or an act of survival?As it is I suppose it's a (decent) horror flick because of the creatures and blood, but it could have been an amazing adventure/thriller without.
bradschwarte This movie is great and I'll tell you why I rated a 6 in a little bit. The movie starts off telling a little about the characters and how they're active in radical sports. Sarah, the protagonist, loses her daughter in an unfortunate accident because her husband was bitter about something on the road. A year later the same girls, previously introduced, get together with a few more to do some cave diving. Juno, my girl, decided to take everyone on a cave dive never claimed before. First of all this movie made me claustrophobic as can be and I almost switched over to a cartoon because of it. This built a sense of stress and suspense unlike any other thrilller/horror though so I accepted my fate.The all female cast was great. They really did a good job building such a bad ass group of women.Where it goes down to a 6 for me is when Sarah goes savage and takes Beth's word against Juno and stabs my girl Juno in the leg before escaping to her what seems to be escape! Really!? You're going to take her out like a savage?? What if Beth was in shock and making up tales because, you know, she is bleeding out the neck!? I also didn't like how said Sarah turned into predator killer so quickly after just having a panic attack stuck in a tight space.Great film but you killed off my babe Juno.
