Review
With
its all-female cast and at least well-thought-out logic in the realm
of the inexplicable, there are times The Descent aspires to
be a decent horror film. The premise isn't all that bad either,
despite its obvious
"youngsters-venture-into-places-they-shouldn't-be" nature. Still,
the film manages to run through almost every cliché imaginable, and there
are so many inane jump-scares in here that you will have gained immunity by
the time the bad guys show up. Of the performances, Shauna
MacDonald's is definitely the most fun. The underground scenes were
shot in a London studio – and unfortunately not in a terribly
impressive manner.
