The Descent (Neil Marshall 2005)

I will not argue: this is a very scary film. The tension builds up nicely and the last half hour can rival in intensity some of the best horror films. But the descent is unfortunately filled with many clichés, traditional plot devices and inconsistencies. We know immediately who will be the last woman standing, and we can only sigh when one of them announces that she didn’t take the maps and that no one before them has ever explored these caves. The Descent creates nothing new and does not take the genre to a new level. It simply does a good job within the existing boundaries of that genre.
