Cling onto your seat for The Descent
08/07/2005 - 11:39:35The Descent
Director: Neil Marshall
Cast: Shauna Macdonald, Nadia Mendoza, Alex Reid
Writer-director Marshall's follow-up to the acclaimed Dog Soldiers, this time focused on a group of women who find themselves trapped in a dark and deadly dangerous cave.
It's a tightly-handled drama full of exciting and terrifying twists as the expedition, whose members don't exactly come as well-adjusted types, meets strange creatures who have adapted to life in the gloom.
The playing of a fine cast is excellent and while the plotting isn't original there's still enough to turn the knuckles white-ish.
Star Rating: 3/5
