After thinking about this a lot, I believe that The Descent is my favorite horror movie. Just a perfect movie

Yes! It’s perfect. The story perfect, each character and their development perfect, the ending (long version) perfect. It’s also a pretty badass movie, but is still bittersweet. The soundtrack perfect.
@joebees217 ай бұрын
Yeah you're right it's severely underrated. Just a great idea with strong characters and storylines. Nothing particularly ground breaking or novel but not everything has to be and this is a great example of that. I was pleasantly surprised when I first watched it as I stumbled across it and had no idea what to expect.

Still scares the crap out of me to this day, especially the Bluray in the dark, uncut edition of course. Having to make a "happy ending" for the US these days is an ironic joke..lol

One of those films you never get tired of watching. Honestly, even if the creatures were not in the film, I could easily just watch the plight of the women being lost in the caves. To make that so tense and scary was brilliant by Mr Marshall......but then switching to full on horror with the creatures.....perfect. This is how you do a film. Each character is interesting, plays a part and you care for each. Music score is great and the original ending is perfect. I wish I had gone to the cinema for this. Shame what happened to Neil Marshall. He definitely has talent. Just kind of lost his way with films from Doomsday onwards.

For the sequel they should have focused more on the crawlers hunting above ground. Maybe a small town or acreage gets besieged by the crawlers on a cold moonless night?

I don't like how often people compare this movie to the Cave. Both are completely different movies that came out the same year. The only thing in common they have is a cave ( in the cave is underwater so even the cave is different.) And a monster which are completely diffetent. In here the monster went the Darwin route, and in the Cave it is caused by a parasite.

I was so, so pleasantly surprised to see this movie when it released! We never get an all women led horror cast like this. As a female horror fan, this was the best. The cave the claustrophobic, the gore is incredible and the creatures scared the crap out of me. I come back to rewatch this movie every few months. It's such a treat.

I'm not a fan of THE DESCENT. There's an unlikability factor because of the way the women are depicted...namely, they couldn't work together they came up against the crawlers. The thing that makes DOG SOLDIERS endearing is the camaraderie amongst the soldiers when the werewolves strike, but camaraderie amongst the women isn't there when the going gets tough.
@a-ve3mw11 ай бұрын
respectfully I disagree. While they have inner conflict Juno tries her best for Holly and she also goes out of her way to find sarah. They're up against monsters, we can't expect them to have full group cohesiveness. With respect to the dog soldiers, they're soldiers. They tend to be more group-oriented.

This movie shows you can do a great movie with an all female cast unlike Ghostbusters 2016. It all comes down to talent and story which The Descent has and was not nowhere to be found in Ghosbusters 2016 and still the fragile people behind that movie blames misogyny for the failure. Where was all this misogyny for The Descent? Why did it not fail? Simply because it's a great movie and great movies will almost always make it big in the box office while terrible movies like Ghostbusters 2016 will always bomb.
