"The Descent: UNRATED" is one of the most horrifying films I have sat down and watched in a while. -- With edgy-camera work and significantly drone dark cavern settings; played backdropped against extremely claustrophic undergrounds, you can absolutely smell, feel and breathe the dank, damp, cold rock caves where the ultimate battle of Good vs Evil will take it's battlefield. -- Every year, a group of thrill-seeking, risk-taking women get together to experience an adventure of adrenaline-pumping intensity; (i.e. White Water Rafting, Sky-Diving is mentioned, etc..). This year; one year after one woman experiences the tragic loss of her husband and daughter in a major car wreck; the women have reunited in the Appalachians to explore a series of underground caves never before attempted or marked for discovery. Once below in the caves, claustrophobically tight spaces build extremely tight-taut tension as it becomes clear that these caves have never been explored for a reason. Then, rocks in a narrow-passage give way; sealing the group of women in the caves., seeking a new way out. But it has only begun., as an Evil so devious and cunning lays in wait; ready to attack again., and again., and again. "Survival of the Fittest" has laid it's boundaries and one of the fiercest battles between "Good and Evil" are brought to the big-screen., as these women encounter horror and evil's most frightening menaces in the most tension-intensified manner. (With a mixed reminiscent feel of "Aliens", "Blair Witch", "The Cave" and "Dawn Of The Dead" this movie creates a very tense, uncomfortable reality to it's direction; making you feel as if you are literally trapped in these caves with them.) - An originally made British Horror Film., the truly amazing and enticing feature of "The Descent: UNRATED VERSION" is that it's cast is ALL women. An empowering group of adrenalized women who must save themselves and reveal the inner strength in not just man; or just women... but in all of us. These women perservere and battle brutally; with more primal instinct and brutality than would be expected from Horror Films, where women usually have always lain in wait to be prey. These women show that primal fear in all of us can derive the most primal strength and blinding brutality; in the name of survival. Applauds to the producers for making this film with such a strong, empowering female cast. -- The special-effects are mind-numbing and the film has absolute perfect cinematography and climactic timing. Honestly, I wouldn't change one thing in it. Including a major realization ending!! Simply and Bluntly put; SEE THIS !!!! It's worth every second !!!! Highly Recommended !! PLEASE SEE MY OTHER REVIEWS FOR GREAT FILMS !!!!Read full review
The women in this movie are fine, but... This entire movie is filmed in Scotland or England, in a fabricated movie set. All the cave scenes are sets, not a single cave was used in the filming. The aerial shots are of Scotland. The story is ok, and it's a fun scary entertaining movie, but it's nothing like Sanctum, a real cave system is used for most of the filming.

This is one of those movies that makes you wonder if things like this really could live in the depths of the earth. Great concept, great gore and great monsters. The only downside of this movie is the one thing that makes me not give it an excelland rating. The darkness. I know it is shot in a cave and caves are dark but it is really difficult to see what is going on a lot of times. I know it's good stuff but I just couldn't see it! I've watched this movie numerous times and everytime I see something new. The character development is really good too for a horror movie. It's neat how the weakest character is the strongest in the end. Highly recommended movie.
This movie gave me the creeps for two reasons. One was the fact that they are trapped in a cave, not knowing if they're going to get out or not. The second reason being the unaccoutted things they run across while trapped in the cave. I saw bits and pieces of this movie originally on HBO, and knew that I just had to see the whole thing. Being an old horror movie buff, there were quite a few surprises that made even me jump. Overall, if you can pick this movie up on the cheap, I would definitely consider adding it to my collection. Funny thing...my wife and I watched No Country For Old Men earlier in the day, and we were more disappointed with that, than this movie (The Descent) which had no real big name stars in it.
This is a really Awesome movie one of the best made horror's in a long time. I will say it starts out kind of slow but it does turn out really good. Once you get past the slow begining it is nothing but great. It is a really gorey, bloody and creepy movie. It is about a group of women who go to checkout a underground cave, and they get trapped in it, and then they try, and find a way out, and they also discover they are not alone in the cave that there is some creatures that are just disgusting & very creepy, and they end up having to fight to stay alive. I will say I have not jumped so many times watching a horror flick movie in a long time as I did watching this one. This also has a different kind of ending it will surprise you with a twist. This is a must buy. I will have to say I give this one a 5 Star rating out of 5. It was money well spent.Read full review
