The Descent 2005

I went to see this film when it was first released. I'd read a review that praised it and said the best way to see it was to sit at the back of the screening room. I did that and had a great time watching everyone jump, scream and be petrified for an hour and a half!

I rewatched it just now on a poor resolution satellite channel and I have to say it has held up quite well. Not great but good enough.

The frights come thick and fast once they start. It's gory with a modest budget for special effects. The pacing means you never rest on your laurels and it ends satisfyingly.

7/10

(I seem to remember the sequel being not good and a wasted opportunity. Hopefully it gets a broadcast soon and I can rewatch that for completeness)
