Well, I just saw The Descent last night and I have to say it didn't quite live up to the hype. Not to say its a bad movie but everyone was playing this movie up like it was the fucking Citizen Kane of horror flicks. Which it is not.Don't get me wrong though it is well worth the price of admission and is probably the horror film of the year. It will be a close race with Hostel for me though. The Descent had several hard hitting moments and a ton of gore which I think carried over from his work on Dog Soldiers.
I think Neil Marshall loves getting those aerial shots in his movies because he used quite a few in this movie as well. The opening of the movie is a real shock to the senses but than it does drag a little as you being introduced to the characters. Of course after that strap in for one hell of a ride. So overall I would say its definetly a movie you wanna check out in the theatres and then buy on DVD for the U.K. ending which I am hoping is much better.

frankly i don't know what all the fuss is about. there's so much hype about this movie in recent months. in fact, this movie was shown in singapore like more than 6 months ago.
i have watched it and i thought it was just mediocre and predictable. i thought 'Hostel' was much better in terms of suspense and gore. the other horror movie which i liked was 'high tension' by director alexandre aja.
