Review of Descent (2007) by Luke M — 07 Sep 2013
Brilliant first half. Good use of claustrophobia with a few tense moments that will have you gasping for air. However the second half was disappointing. All previous techniques to build suspense are thrown out of the door and the film looses all tension.
The plot was brilliant and had a lot of potential but the cave dwellers just aren't scary in the slightest. If your looking for a film to scare you, this isn't it. However it'snot the mutants that are the star of the film here, it is the cast.
It feels like this film got so much right, but an over use of violence and gore kills all suspense and leaves you with another action film and I have to be honest once the fighting started I got bored quickly.
