The Descent

[Caftan King]

[COLOR="Red"]Visually, the movie is fascinating. Many directors, even the good ones, cannot film a horror scene taking place in an underground den, because they put too much lights in it. The director in this film, on the other hand, understands that a dark cave is supposed to be "dark". Outside the small range of torches and lights, you see "nothing" as in BLACK -- Exactly as it is supposed to be! This creates a realistic atmosphere. I also appreciated how they administered to vary the light effects from scene to scene.

Although the monsters who have their resemblance to Gollum (Lord of the Rings) don't show up soon, even the beginning part is thrilling and claustrophobic. Overall, there are several shouts and a couple of truly jumping moments!

There a couple of criticisms... yes! we are aware of that.
Yet for me... Marshall has talent! And his dark and desperate film is exactly as any good horror movie should be![/COLOR]
