The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The entire tone of this film is completely off!It begins as a very promising and enticing horror movie. I was becoming excited and invested in the premise and characters (how silly of me). However, if you're anything like me, you will despise this movie by the ending.First off, Juno is wrongfully blamed for the "murder" of one of the other members of their party, that being Beth. This accusation is complete and utter bull****! Sure Juno kills Beth, however Beth should NOT have come up behind Juno so abruptly, as Juno was obviously in the midst of defending herself against the crawlers. And Beth KNOWS its was an accident, yet she plays it off as if Juno did this on purpose later on when Sarah finds Beth dying.And so it's after this point that the entire film demonizes Juno because she slept with Sarah's husband. Surely Juno is in the wrong here yes, however Sarah proves herself to be a completely irredeemable piece of garbage, as she not only uses Juno to fight off the crawlers at the end, but she quite literally stabs Juno in the back (or leg rather) and leaves Juno for dead! NOT a proportionate response. Oh, and Juno refuses to leave without Sarah, a sentiment which Sarah obviously does not reciprocate.The film ends as if to make Sarah out to be the good guy, but this entire tone is off, as Sarah is clearly in the wrong here. She doesn't even give Juno a point to speak her case. An absolutely frustrating and disappointing flick.

I thought I would give this movie a shot, because it has decent ratings.. I ended up turning it off halfway through, can I say BORING! I could care less about the characters, I was hoping things would pick up half way through the film but NOPE. I usually gets easily scared by horror films, but this movie was more like a comedy. I laughed way more than I should have, the creatures in the cave were not scary. This movie had so much potential, but it just ended up being silly.

I just felt like I wasted 1.5 hrs trying to give this a like. A bunch of hysterically loud females in an underground cave in N Carolina full of these pasty white inbred humanoid things that look like they came from a 1950's B TV movie at best. For a mid millenia flick of the times it's missing the the most minimal of much needed SFX. But with all the ridiculous plot curves, twists & turns who'd care anyway. Such predictability coming from some overacting actresses that simply aren't ready for the majors yet and better stick in school. I did like the little old Bronco II, and thumbs up to the stunt driver at the is as far as I can go. So that's why I gave it a 2.

First off, good horror needs likable and believable characters. No one cares what happens to a character who is a shallow cardboard cutout. If characters are annoying, you start hoping they disappear, which defeats the purpose of good horror. The Descent fails here.I never got lost in the story. The whole time I felt like I was watching a bad movie. I laughed at several parts that were not meant to be funny. The jump scare tactics are totally predictable.There is a totally unbelievable shift in the main character's behavior from fragile and scared to stereotypical uber-confident hero, with no reason behind it.The filming is good, the acting good, the sets are great, and the visual effects very convincing. They're all wasted on a terrible script.
