review: the descent

the descent was a pretty wild movie.

basically all female cast.

kind of a weird twist of story between deliverance, pitch black, apocalypse now, and texas chainsaw massacre.

if you like horror movies i would say you have to see this one. if you are like stan and scream like a little girl when scary things happen, this one might be a bit much for you.

and/or if you like to go spelunking/exploring caves i would say avoid this one. as i know i will never go exploring caves myself after watching this.

the goblin/wall-crawling-man-bat thingies were done pretty cool. their movement was freaky, but not like the strange girl crawling up the well in 'the ring 2" weird.

the chicks were attractive but there was really no excessive "hey naked chicks" scenes. in fact i can't remember any nudity :-( or any real t&a shots.

if you rent the dvd make sure to get the unrated or directors cut version i forget which it is... the one with the not-so-happy ending that was shown pretty much in all theaters except in the U.S.

as far as horror movies go it gets an A- from me.
overall i guess B+
