What You Need To Know:
THE DESCENT has a few moments of scares based mostly on the fast cutting camera work. After that, the movie seems to get lost in the gore and blood rather than the plot or theme. Thus, the last 40 or 50 minutes leave something to be desired. The acting is mediocre at best, and the effects are below par. Throughout the movie, the girls display an everyone-for-herself mentality and even turn on each other with the protagonist wounding and leaving one friend to die. There is also plenty of strong foul language.

More Detail:
THE DESCENT is a horror movie about a girl named Sarah (Shauna Macdonald), who loses her husband and young daughter in a tragic car accident and is tottering on the brink of insanity. So, her five friends decide to take her cave diving in the Appalachian Mountains.
As they are exploring this cave, their entrance gets blocked but the cave system they studied showed that there were three ways in and out of the cave. As it turns out they are not in the cave system that they thought they were because one of the thrill seeking girls, Juno (Natalie Mendoza), took them to another system so that they could be the first to explore it and name it.
Based on hieroglyphics they find, they decide that there has to be another way out and they continue into the earth. As they get deeper, they realize that cannibalistic people who have evolved to live in their surroundings are hunting them, and now they must fight for survival.
THE DESCENT has a few moments of scares based mostly on the fast cutting camera work. After that, the movie seems to get lost in the gore and blood rather than the plot or theme. Due to this fact, the last 40 or 50 minutes leave something to be desired. The acting is mediocre at best and the effects are not up to par. Throughout the movie, the girls display an everyone-for-herself mentality and even turn on each other with the protagonist wounding and leaving one of her friends to die. THE DESCENT gets lost in very grotesque blood and gore and strong foul language, and the women literally stab one another in the back to escape.
