Just your usual crap "horror" film that relies on hack and slash rather than a story. Must admit, the caving was a different concept, but still crap. Should have seen Batman instead. The one moment of humour in the film was during one of the "scary" bits, my missus lost all control of her limbs and was flailing about like a drunk puppeteer was controlling her. I absolutely wet myself laughing at her!

They all die in the end anyway...

To be honest, it's just going to be something running through the back of your mind when you need to be concentrating on other things if you ask me!

With your review Jag, I think that has put the last nail in the coffin of this being worth spending time going to see.

which is a shame, becuase the book that the movie is (very bloody loosely) based upon (sorry, shares basic premise and thats about it) is bloody fantastic

Which is? Might be something to read during the holidays. Tried a search on Amazon for "The Descent" but not there.
