 Described by writer-director Neil Marshall as ‘Deliverance goes underground’, this film clearly represents a step forward for his career, highlighting in particular the difference that a decent budget can make for a talented filmmaker.  --Alex Ballard (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
If there's ever a horror movie that you had to absolutely see, let this be it! This is one of the best horror flicks I've seen in a long time. Hot chicks + scares + blood and guts + a large group of strange sharp-toothed-cave-dwelling-predators = brilliance. 8/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
...was a brilliantly structured and executed piece of horror cinema. It was well written, layered, expertly acted, suspenseful as hell, directed with flair, emotionally resonant and f*cking gory/violent as well! I have absolutely nothing bad to say aboutthis diamond in the rough…all I will say is see it, see it and SEE IT! THE DESCENT is the movie I’ve been waiting for all year…THANK YOU!  --'The Arrow' (Arrow)
this is one of the horror films around which actually manages to frighten and disturb  -- (slasherama.com)
Possibly the best horror movie in history even if many might argue with me on this. I was scared to hell and there wasn't one second of the movie that I felt bored,...  --AnthroFred (SlasherPool)
A film that spends a long time building up the suspense, before unleashing some of cinemas most terrifying imagery! --Carl Lazarevic (MovieWeb)
