Review of Descent (2007) by Waleed A — 11 Jun 2017
Really creepy and scary horror flick. this is a mixed bag. there is a lot to love. like some of the directing, the claustrophobia in the caves, the suspenseful tone, some beautiful shots, the realistic feel created by not using any unnecessary light in the caves other than the light that the characters are producing.
there are also a lot of flaws. while I give it credit for the realism from no extra lighting, it was also annoying at times since I couldn't really see much in some of the scenes. and in a lot of scenes I could barely see what's going on.
and a lot of shaky cam was used along with some sloppy editing which also made it hard to see what was happening. and some of the story elements seemed out of place or unnecessary. if it wasn't for these flaws this could have been an amazing movie.
still very enjoyable (2 viewings).
