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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
While I may say this is probably one of the most suspenseful underground bloodbaths to grace the screen,I also argue about the realism of the film.the plot is predictable,about a cave expedition gone off the road.once the crawlers get involved about thirty minutes into the film,blood spews.the last 10 minutes are extremely scary and over the top bloody.Not for sensitive viewers.I watched it with my parents in the theatre when I was like 8 and I didn't find it scary at all though wonder why I find it 10 times more violent when I watch the Unrated version.Ive got the unrated edition of this and watched it for the millionth time tonight somehow dosent as bad.Ohhhhh,the humanity.
i thought this movie was so bd that i had to gop away for a few minutes! there was a ton of blood and it was horible if you are clostrofobic then you should never see this movie and after you see it you will be clostrofobic however my 14 year old brother thought it was the best movie in the world but my cousin and i thought he was being retarted lol well thats what i thought of themovie i gthink no body would like it XD
The Descent is the best horror of the 200's so far. I can't speak for the 20th century, i havent seen anything around then. But this is the only recent horror that wasn't just all out gore and no plot. The movie should be rated r, but mostly for the cussing. I have the Unrated and haven't seen the rated r and the UR isn't that bad for an r movie. I'd guess it was just extended, not "containing material to scary for theaters". No big name actors, but great horror with full plot and thrills starting and the cave-ins and ending with the crawlers.
