The Descent

A year after surviving the car crash which killed her husband and daughter, Sarah joins five of her friends on an adventurous trip. Juno, one of her friends, has chosen a wellknown cave-system to explore, but after the group of women have descended into the darkness, Juno admits that the cave system she chose is actually one that has never been named, and they soon discover old climbin eqiupment, meaning the groups exploring the cave before them never made it out. Using flares and flashlights the women start exploring the cave, hoping to find a way out, but surely becoming more and more lost when they wander the narrow passages in the system.
After being lost for a while, Sarah claims she's seen a man wandering around in the cave, insisting that they try asking for help, however Juno claims the gear they found was at least a hundred years old and everyone that came down using it should be a skeleton by now. Sarah still believes and what she saw, and it turns out she's right... Almost anyway. They soon encounter humanoid creatures, who have evolved perfectly to live down in the caves... And they're hungry.
Being one of the few horror movies that managed to actually scare me, I'd say it is an extremely well-made movie. The claustrophobic horror movie is rich in gore, so if you're sensitive when it comes to blood and guts, you should probably stay far away from this one. The movie uses several kinds of horror to create an almost perfect piece, everything from claustrophobia to paranoia to gushing blood and cannibalism. Plucking on the strings of pure evolutionary fear for everything that resembles human but really isn't, the movie has a classic yet fresh approach, balancing both perfectly. The interesting camera work is an added bonus, since many of the shots are anything but traditional and brings on a new view on scenery.
I would highly recommend this movie to any horror fan, but it is not for the faint of heart, and younger viewers should avoid it. An absolute must-watch for those who enjoy the horror genre!
