A must see for horror fans.
It starts very slow, although there is a violent image at the beginning. When they start exploring the cave, things get crazy. This movie is NOT for the squeamish. It was quite grisly and will most likely make you want to stay away from caves.

Scared The Crap out of me!!
I love this movie. It scared me bigtime. I was a little dissapionted in the end of who lived and who died, but what can you do? I f your scared of blood/gore or scared easily, then this isn't the movie for you. Or if you go climbing in caves. But if love getting scared then it's for you. Some people might not think it was scary others will. And i'm one of the others.

Awesome horror flick
Great film but definitely not for kids under 18. Different but in a good way as it's original.

OLD TEENS WILL ENJOY(not that scary!)
Very bloody but FOR ME its not scary, just a little disturbing with sound ALL THE WAY UP. Its gory and all (language), but its quite dark down there (which didnt make it ALL that bad, just more intense).

Well done movie
This is a very well executed horror film. It doesn't go over the top with sex and gore like most horror films these days. It is an extremely clostraphobic movie which makes it all the more scarier. There is not much explanation for the the creatures hunting them which to me makes it a better film. It is deff. a creeepy and jumpy movie and will be enjoyed by many horror fans

Despite the gore, this film is a great choice for mature horror fans.
The Descent is one of the most scariest horror films you will ever see, and it's also one of the most goriest. The plot is suspenseful, and it brings us a new style to the horror genre. Viewers will feel as if they are actually inside of the cave, as they will also feel their heart rate moving faster. Despite the blood and gore, this film is definitely a good choice for horror fans. Violence: The violence in this movie is bloodily brutal. From a bloody car accident, to crushed heads, stabbing, and pools of blood. Most of the strong gore comes from the creatures injuries, and some from humans. But the creature violence is a lot more brutal. Language: Mild for a horror film. Words include a few f-words, and some s--t's. Sex: In one scene of peril a woman makes a joke about giving a lemon an orgasm. This scene is very intense though, which will bring the sexual content level down. This is the strongest it gets. Drinking/Drugs: Before going into the cave woman smoke cigarettes, and drink a few beers. Messages and Role Models: There are messages about survival and bravery. These woman are brave and strong, but at some points they are also very selfish. These woman also curse.

The descent is a fantastic and brutal thriller
Sex/Nudity: A brief sexual joke about an orgasm. Violence/Scariness: Plenty of graphic and grotesque imagery. Most of the violence consists of the crawlers that eat the people's intestines and throw them up. In one scene, a girl hits her leg on something and her bone is seen popping out. Plenty of gruesome violence throughout. Profanity: Around 44 f words, scatological and anatomical terms, 1 sexual reference, some religious exclamations, name-calling (selfish cow), and mild obscenities.

Just watched this tonight, very disappointing...
I decided to watch this movie after seeing it make #1 on a "top horror movies" special on T.V. The preview freaked me out-- and since I like horror movies and haven't found a good one for awhile, I bought it on sale. It was pretty disappointing-- and actually pretty stupid. There were a few parts that made me jump, but nothing that actually truly frightened me. The gore was excessive, and didn't make the movie any scarier. So basically it was just another gore-fest with few scares. My 11-year-old sister watched it with me, and she was neither disturbed nor scared at any part of the movie--although horror movies never did seem to phase her at all... Basically-- a gory and cheesy movie that I personally think should be skipped over.

a must see for horror fans
i saw it in the theater with my dad the first day it opened and both for us were amazed. finally a horror movie that is not a remake and is the perfect horror movie. see the unrated version because the ending to the theater cut the ending does not make any sense.

I was at my cousins with my sister and her neighbor brought over the unrated version with her and we watched it. we all thought it was confusing and boring we didnt even like know the characters names lol. the only part that like we thought was digusting was when the bone came out of her leg.
