The Descent (First Viewing) Avoid this movie at ALL COSTS!
That's got to be one of the silliest things I've ever read.
I didn't like The Descent, though. It opened nicely, full of claustrophobic darkness, though I would have liked it had Marshall made more use of the frame - he kept shooting his characters in the centre of frame, and it would have been far more effective had they been lost to either side of shot. There's a melodramatic moment near the end too when the one survivor resembles something out of Carrie, which I sort of liked. But the means by which she went about surviving was something like Tomb Raider, not a cave explorer chased by monsters. It had a lot of potential and little creative flair. I would have done away with the monsters altogether and it would have been a lot more taut and tense. But that would have been a different movie, then, I guess.
