With so many bland generic horror films to come out in the past few years, I avoided watching this one. However, I finally gave it a chance after reading some raving reviews, I gave in and took the descent. Parts of the film are typical to vampire films and those of inbred rural freak films. However, this movie bakes the cake by taking place in a dark cave. The setting is extremely claustrophobic and dark, and it will succeed in making you jump quite a few times. If you watch it for anything, watch it for the surprising and shocking ending.
