The Descent Reviews

external linkIf 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. [read review] 8/10
--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
external linkFar too gory for any but the very strongest of stomachs, this is nonetheless intelligent and well constructed horror fare. It lacks the humour that made Dog Soldiers such a delight, and in years to come my Friday night beer n' pizza horror DVD of choice will still be Marshall's previous effort, but this is, by most forms of reckoning, a better, more substantial film. [read review] 4/5
--Scott Andrews (FilmFocus.co.uk)
external link...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! [read review] 4/4
--'The Arrow' (Arrow)
external linkDescribed 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. [read review] 3.5/5
--Alex Ballard (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
external linkNeil Marshall’s follow-up to Dog Soldiers is a smartly written, atmospheric horror film with an attractive cast and a gleefully inventive streak of gore running through it. [read review] 4/5
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
external linkPossibly 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,... [read review] 5/5
--AnthroFred (SlasherPool)
external linkI wouldn’t normally resort to this kind of cliché (well, maybe I would) but if you are going to see one film this year, go and see The Descent. [read review] 9/10
--Ed Colley (FutureMovies.co.uk)
external linkA film that spends a long time building up the suspense, before unleashing some of cinemas most terrifying imagery! [read review] 5/5
--Carl Lazarevic (MovieWeb)
external linkthis is one of the horror films around which actually manages to frighten and disturb [read review] 4/5
