The Unrated Directors Cut is my preferred version of The Descent...cause the ending is alot darker....when she escapes the cave and finds out it was an allusion that she really didn't escape...but was back in the cave with the bat creatures.
Agreed. I actually prefer the darker ending...and I think that ending fits the character more. She can finally be at peace in death with her daughter.
Great review. It's been a long ass time sense I seen this flick. The monsters always reminded me of the falmer from The Elder Scrolls. An underground species of humanoids that were reshaped after spending thousands of years living in isolation underground.
Yeah the monsters were very interesting. I like that they didn't give too much away about them.
They are called the morlocks and have. Been in science fiction and horror for centuries
I love this movie. I like how one of the creatures is just casually shown drooling, before the girls even see them, and this moment is very unexpected; it kind of ends the slow build-up of suspense in such a hilarious way. Then, when they are finally startled by Smeagol's cousin, that jump scare got me. I don't usually jump at jump scares but this one got me again!
Natalie Rose Completely agree Natalie. The dissent is easily one of the best movies of the last 15 years.
I love how they were able to flesh out the dynamics between the girls. They start off as "college" buddies then at the end they end up killing each other for survival. It's one of those situation when you realize you can rely on your supposed friends for so long. At the end of the day, you are on your own. So I love how they build those complexities between the girls. There always will be competition between girls, we get to see a lot of that in the movie. I thought the antagonism was stronger between the girls then the crawlers although their presence help build up the tension. As much I love happy ending it would make more sense if they've never made it out alive. The score also made it even more visceral I totally agree.
This is one of the best underrated horror movies, I agree 100%. The ending was so crazy, I remember seeing it in the theater and gripping my seat haha. The acting is great, the story is great, and yeah the friends relationship is so believable. This was one of your best reviews, you broke it down really well. I like the idea of the cave being the other danger besides the creatures. This movie will without a doubt make you feel claustrophobic. I can't say enough about this movie, it's honestly pretty much perfect. I love movie soundtracks as well, especially from the 80's lol. I hope you review The Descent 2, as it reminds me of Halloween 1 & 2, a continuance of the story etc. Great review bro, off to watch some more of your videos :)
Thanks brother. I wish I could have seen this in the theater. Must have been really powerful...and moving. What a ride this one is though!
Drumdums It was definitely an experience to see in theaters. I didn't know what to expect because I think we just went to the movies out of the blue and picked it because it was horror. It was a pleasant surprise, I was genuinely scared as chitt lol.
Bro now you got me really wanting to review the 2nd one. I have to get on that!
Drumdums Sounds like a plan lol, I really like how they continue the story.
This movie is one of the best horror movies I’ve ever seen. Between the extremely tight spaces and feeling of getting trapped along with the horror of the creatures is enough to make me almost seize while watching it. A lot of people put this movie down and I’ll dispute that every chance I get. Thanks for the review man you kick ass.
The Descent has to be one of the most underrated horror films out there. It is perfection.
We have such similar taste I got chills hearing the score in the beginning in the review
Thank you!
I love The Descent, one of my favorite horror movies of all time, you definitely did this review justice Lee, kick ass job brother! 👍👍🍺
Thanks bro. I've been meaning to review this one for a long time.
I'm with you brother, I just happened to stumble upon this film back in 2006 and wasn't expecting anything really but then Holy Shit!!! I was hooked from the beginning and it's seriously one of my favorite movies ever too, also kinda funny, "The Crow" which you just happened to show is another one of my favorites, also yes, exactly, this movie is like a two in one bonus cause it was horrifying, dark, and emotional as they're just lost, helpless, and hopeless in this terrible situation already before any creature is even revealed and then the shit just truly hits the fan and there really is no hope at all and it makes you feel like it's all happening to you the viewer as well which is what makes this just a masterpiece
Awesome man. The Decent and The Crow are 2 of my favorite films. Love when horror has an emotional side.
I would love The Descent just the unrated version
Do you not own it? It's a classic!
One of my favorite films. The score is emotional. It’s the best kind of horror film, one that, actually asks you to invest in it’s characters. Great review
So glad I found someone who appreciated this film like me ha such a fun, and intense horror film. Loved the performances, and whole style felt very high end. Peace brother. Glad I found your channel.
Hell yeah this movie is so great. Thanks man!
Saw it for the first time just now! Blew my mind, love to see an original horror film in the 2000s!
Oh man love this movie so much. Glad you enjoyed it Evan.
Great review! Surprised no one mentioned it's homage to other great horror/drama classics: Sarah's hand pushing up dirt from the cave to freedom- "Carrie" reaching out from her grave to grab her former classmate's arm in the dream sequence at the end of the film. Sarah rising up from the vat of blood - Martin Sheen rising up from the muddy water on his way to dispatch Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now. The first real glimpse of the humanoid creature with fluid dripping from it's face - the real glimpse of the "Alien" with mucus dripping from it's face in that film. And quite a few others I noticed! Great, great movie and great review. Also loved the music!
This was a great and informative post. Thank you Paulette!
Omg! You actually read these? Thank you for the response!
This movie is perfection. It amazed me. It also scared the shit out of me. Everything you want in a horror movie. The characters are relatable and strong. You root for them. Very claustrophobic. Thanks for the review and discussion.
MY FAVORITE MOVIE thanks for reviewing it!!!!!!
No problem. Thank YOU for watching!!
Fantastic review!!!! I love this movie and it's one of my favorite movies. After watching your review, I might have to go re-watch the movie.
Yeah this movie never gets old. Just fantastic!
Totally agree, great review of one of my all time fav films, period.
Thank you!
The Descent is definitely one of the all time Scariest movies ever made. It gave me damn nightmares.😱😱😱
Great review.The Descent is a fantastic film.The score does add a lot to it, very emotional.Wish Neil Marshall did more horror.Which ending do you prefer the UK or US version?
That's a tough one because I do like the idea that she gets out. But I also like the idea that she finds peace through her daughter and stays in the cave.
One of my all time favorite horror movies and truly is underrated. I also love that the third act kind of reminds me of a cave video game 🖤🔥I smile every time I finish this movie for some reason, it’s just perfect, it has everything. Great acting, great characters, great development, you feel for the characters, the atmosphere
Yep this one is amazing. Loved it.
Well done. I love the "compound horror" term.
Thank you!
The Decent is one of my all time favorite movies. It's the first time you see an all female cast go through so much horror and intensity. The whole atmosphere of this movie is what got me. I just remember sitting in the theater thinking Sara is gonna crack if this gets any worse. Boy did that character fool me.
Me too Hayley. It offers so much emotionally for a horror film.
@@DrumdumsOfficial it sure does. One of my best friends went with me and she left perment bruse Mark's around my right arm from holding on to it so tight..lol she was also 6 months pregnant. I share that movie with people all the time because it is so special.
Great review I just seen this movie last night
You can put the greatest jumpscares of all time in this movie!
But the build up to the crawlers is just as frightening, you hear them, you see them hidden, this is trully ground breaking! 5 star movie!
Hell yeah!!
Here it is! :) You've seen The Descent! Claustrophobia and dread is suffocating. Tension from start to finish. Amazing film! :) I also like Neil Marshall previous work Dog Soldiers! :)
I completely agree about how hard it is to review a movie you love. I have had to hold off doing some reviews of my favorite movies because I just started reviewing and I know I don't yet have the skill set to do the movies justice. This was a spot on review and I completely agree with everything you said. Trust me you did the descent justice.
Yeah I wish I would have waited to do the Halloween franchise...knowing what I know now about editing. Sometimes I cringe when I look at those videos.
Haha I'll have to look at them but I'm sure there not that bad. You could always revisit them.
The Descent actually made #1 on Bravo's 13 scarier movie moments!
I enjoy this film especially the behind the scenes have to give it a rewatch before October ends. . . Will you be reviewing the squeal later on in the future.
Yeah I will definitely be doing the sequel down the road.
I recently discovered the Descent a few months ago, and it's been one of my favorite horror movies ever since! Great review!
I loved it immediately. Such an emotionally powerful film.
@@DrumdumsOfficial my thoughts exactly! Say just wondering, are u going to ever review the Descent part 2? I’d like to hear your thoughts on that film
@@33dbz I need to finally review it.
@@DrumdumsOfficial yes definitely, I will look forward to it whenever that time comes
Amazing film! so effective i felt like i was gasping at times.
Couldn't agree more!
I really love the character development and growth of Sarah Carter. At first she was dealing with horror and trauma emotionally and mentally but at the end she developed into a tough and resilient warrior as she's tired of suffering as she do whatever it takes to survive as of today it still gives me chills and goosebumps as it was just so badass, epic, and satisfying on so many levels.😍😎👍💯😏😰😱
Loved Sarah to death.
@@DrumdumsOfficial Shauna McDonald did a phenomenal and spectacular job portraying Sarah Carter as she put tons of emotion and depth into her role as at first she displayed the elements of the character's emotional trauma and grief but at the end she portrayed the transformation of Sarah such as strength and resourcefulness. This is one of her most greatest, iconic, and memorable roles in cinema.😍😎💯👍😏
@@DrumdumsOfficialyeah me too Lee brother bro 😎
Highly agree Lee this is one of my favorite movies ever since it came out and I'm glad you reviewed it. I always really liked the character of Beth I wish she would have gotten a bit more screen time. I don't know if you've heard of Centurion but that's another great movie Neil Marshall directed.
No I haven't heard that one. I'll definitely check it out Braden. And
yeah I was a big fan of Beth as well. She was a very important
character.
Nailed this review! Touched on all the important elements that create such a great film. Surprised you didn't mention how unique it is to create such a horrific film with a strong all female cast, we just don't see much of that. Glad you finally reviewed it man, it's my favorite!
Guerra Movie House Yeah bro I got so caught up in the review that I forgot to mention the all woman cast, sort of the opposite of The Thing.
I wasn't expecting much from this movie when I first saw it. Thought it would be another generic Horror film and boy was I completely off! I was glued to my Damn seat watching this. It deserves a 5star rating hands down
Yeah it is so powerful, which is a huge bonus for a horror film.
Huge bonus indeed
I saw this movie last night. it was absolutely amazing.
I love the The Descent....fantastic claustrophobic horror movie....love the story...characters...creatures....and the impressive gorey parts! It reminded me sort of like John Carpenter's The Thing in a Cave...and I agree the score is beautiful!!
Christopher Santiago Yes The Descent is a masterpiece!!
I love this movie and it never gets old
The Descent (2005) is one of the most greatest horror movies of all time. The story, performance's, music, images, astomphere, tension, direction, and cinematography was spectacular and phenomenal. It was such a nail-biting and intense thrill ride as it will keep you on the edge of your seat.😰😱 It also gives a insightful and articulate representation of survival, emotional trauma, and claustrophobia. It was decent and to this day the ending still gives me chills and goosebumps.😰😱 The Descent (2005) is a true blue modern gem in horror cinema. Neil Marshall directed a classic that will be in our hearts forever. It never gets old.😍😎💯👍
Preach!
@@DrumdumsOfficial The Descent (2005) is a true blue modern gem in horror cinema. Neil Marshall directed a classic that will be in our hearts forever. It never gets old.😍😎💯👍
I loved your review of the movie. I agree 100% with everything you said. This is also one of my favorite movies. What I love about it is you can go in 2 different directions with it. Keep it like it is and it's a horror movie or keep the monsters out and it will be a survival movie because you don't need the monsters for elements of danger. I love the acting by the actresses. They feel like they could be real friends and you feel for them throughout the movie. Tonight I'm watching both the descent and the descent part 2.
Thank you Ivan!
@@DrumdumsOfficial today it was very hot here where I live in South Africa. It was 41 degrees Celsius or 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Luckily summer is now over so it should start to cool down. We had a very hot summer over here. Watching horror movies with my fan next to me.
Such a great film the ending I didn't see coming it packs an emotional punch you feel for the women in this film Neil Marshall did a brilliant job here he's best for me is still Dog Soldiers but this is a very smart horror film one of the best in my view a must buy.
One of my top 10 films, amazing! But please it MUST be the UK version, the ending is different and better imo.
I agree it is one of the better horror films to come out in a long time and is so underrated! I love this film too! Great review as always!
Thank man!
Shout factory really needs to release this and part 2. Just looked on Amazon no region free of part 2 and the first looks very cheap (as far as the casing).
I would love a SF release!
Great review! I have to ask though, where did you pick up that Stranger Things shirt?
I'll ask my wife. She ordered it...I think from Amazon actually.
As soon as I saw that shirt, I was like I must have a shirt like that lol.
This is a great film , can't understand why Neil Marshall has not made that many movie's, mostly directs tv episodes now which is a shame, great review Lee
Yeah he needs to put out more horror films. True talent!
Fantastic film. So underrated. Great review
Thank you! I need to revisit the sequel again, even though it pales in comparison to the original.
so happy with this review my best friend who died last year was a fanatic fan of the decent as am I myself 😎 great movie great review
Man so sorry to hear about your friend...and thank you.
Drumdums cheers dude movies helped me threw the sad times tho
My favorite horror film of the 2000's. That's all I'm going to say.
Same!
I saw this in theaters and I really really enjoyed it. Very very suspenful. I didn't really care for the sequel tbh.
now that I own The Descent it was hard to find at my local store i almost gave up until my little brother got so mad at the fact I couldn’t find it he got so angry that he said fuck this shit and bought it off Amazon.ca he said Karanvir don’t worry about that problem thankfully he solved it and now I feel thankful that I got to grab it on BluRay
I would buy it on 4K UltraHD BluRay I really wish that somebody would rerelease it on 4K UltraHD BluRay
Hey! Just wanted to say great review!!! If you ever want to extend your exploration of this film- you NEED to watch the version with the Canadian ending! It's fantastic and you didn't mention it in this review so I'm assuming you may not have come across it! The full ending has Sara escaping but then it turns out that she only dreamed she escapes. She wakes back up in the cave, realizes her escaping was just a dream and then starts hallucinating that her daughter is in the cave with her, etc and it insinuates that she's stuck down there forever! However American audiences found that ending too bleak, so for the American cut, they chopped out that portion of the ending so that Americans would just think she's escaped. But with the original ending added on, it's even more fantastic and adds even more psychological depth to the film! So for you and any of your commenters who might read this, check out the Canadian cut that includes the real ending! It's easy to track down a copy to purchase and you'll love it!
Thank you! I've heard of that ending...and I mention it in my Drumdums Watches episode for this movie. I always thought that was the UK ending. Never knew it was the Canadian. Anyway thanks for the info and here's the link the the Watches episode I was referring to:
th-cam.com/video/E-FmmqXCCBk/w-d-xo.html
Just watched it for the first time, that’s an effective horror movie!
Brilliant Film, proud to have a great British horror film with popularity in the States, great review!
Yeah The Decent is one of my all time favorite films.
@@DrumdumsOfficial You should check out The Descent: Part 2?
Great review. I like that movie, and The Crow TOO.
Yes...and they're both emotional horror films.
Indeed.
Hope you revew part 2 someday
Just bought the book supposed to be a lot different cant find a single book review on youtube worth watching guess ima try the internett
The only people that I would not recommend this movie to is those who physically cant stand the sight of blood because there are buckets of it in this movie. Its extremely violent in parts. Anyone else would need to get their heads examined if they havnt seem this yet. GO WATCH IT it is actually way better then just a horror movie.
this movie scared the shit out of me! loved it!
Agreed...and I very rarely get scared from horror movies. Sooo effective.
Great analysis of this movie.
Thank you Damian!
@@DrumdumsOfficial don’t mention it !
Awesome awesome awesome movie and review..... I adore this film as well as Dog Soldiers 😊
Thanks man. Yeah Neil Marshall is the man! Have you seen Doomsday?
Drumdums no but i own it and have been meaning too lol
SPOILERS: $$ Man i just watched it was awesome but I thought it was really unrealistic how she just stabbed Juno at the end.. Survival instincts? stay together? what do you think? Edit: i'm also confused as i see comments here that there are different versions with different endings.. what did i miss?/
You should definitely do a review for The Ruins (2008) Lee brother bro 😎 it’s a great 😊 horror movie and it’s also based off the book too brother
I made a Top 40 favorite movies list The Descent is on that list also The Descent is a modern horror classic I love The Descent and I really adore it
how good will it look in 4K UltraHD
This movie scared the shit out of me....
My favorite movie of all time is the descent
It's in my top 10 horror for sure.
Really good movie and excellent review.
Thank you!
Great review! I have never heard of this film until now. I will check it out. I also have another film recommendation for you: Storm of the Century by Stephen King. Awesome film. Once you watch (and hopefully also review one day) Near Dark, you have to check out this film! Unless you've seen it already.....🎃🕸🔥💀👻
Been wanting to check out Near Dark for a long time. Love Katherine Bigelow's films. I'll add Storm of the Century to the list as well...been getting a few Stephen King requests haha.
That car crash scene was so badly done I couldn't even watch this all. I should have given it a chance, but it was after I watched a couple horrible movies and was fed up by the point I got to this. I was just like how the hell, or why the hell would anyone let that happen? When you walk you pretty much look forward, who drives looking constantly at the passenger for that length of time lol I'll watch, I heard great things.
You thought the car crash scene was bad? I thought it was very effective. This movie is a masterpiece. Definitely watch it.
@@DrumdumsOfficial lol! My bad like I said I was kinda in a piss poor mood from 2 back to back crapfest of movies and I was I noticed the (sorry about the nitpick here but) They were just looking at each other for so long that it was irrational. Even as they are about to hitthe car I was like uhm wtf, did you two forget you're on the road? It just didn't make sense and ended up making me turn if off because it pisses me off when someone risks other peoples lives just because you have a brainfart and can't think rationally. I am gonna watch and feel like a douche for the nitpick lol
Surprised you didn’t touch on what this movie was really about!?
This movie scared he shit out of me
Unpopular opinion but I just didn’t like this movie. Maybe if I didn’t go into it with the pure mindset that it’s gonna be “the scariest movie I’ve ever seen” like everyone around me was telling me it would be, maybe. But hey, opinions are opinions, we all have one lol either way I’m subscribing. Your reviews are too good whether we agree or not! Next up, The Crow! Or An American Werewolf in London. I love Halloween!
You're the first person I've ever heard say that. Seriously.
I just dont see what the hype about this film is. It relies on jump scares to much, and there is no tension when the audience sees how easily the "monsters" are killed off. I thought they said these creatures hunt, including big game, in the forrest, but appear to want to commit suicide by murder when confronting the humans.
For me it's the emotional struggle and the relationship between the girls. Especially Sarah and Juno. The scares actually mean nothing to me.
Drumdums but aren't the scares and suspense the point? I don't like the Matrix for the comedy
john thompson Not always. I usually let the movie dictate where I want to go emotionally. If it’s great it’s great. It doesn’t matter to me what the reasoning is. But I get your point. And no I don’t watch the matrix for comedy. But characters in horror movies can often grab me like in the Descent.
Drumdums what's funny is I didn't even pick up on the spouse cheating aspect when I watched this the other day on netflix, probly didn't give it a fair shake. But u have to admit, when Juno threw the blade then snapped the monsters neck like Steven Segal u rolled ur eyes a little
one of my all time favorites. the sequel is crap.
Yeah the sequel is really bad. Worth a one-time watch just for the fact that it takes place immediately after the events of the first...and Juno.
Drumdums what I don't like is that it negates the amazing original ending...not the American one...from the first film. the ending with her hallucinating in the cave is fantastic. oh well...
Todd All Things Horror Agreed! Love that ending.
The Cave is better then The Descent in my opinion.
I have never disagreed with a statement as much as this one my friend haha!!
I like it when people are honest, The best thing is to agree to disagree :-)
Completely agree. I know there are some that loved The Cave. I've been meaning to revisit that one actually.
I hated this movie...mostly because it had so much potential and, in my opinion, failed to deliver. And it turned into a dumb B-movie action flick 2/3 of the way in.
Oh do I completely agree with you. It delivered on so many levels for me.
Awesome review Lee! Loved this movie! I felt that I was inside the cave as I was watching it. I really hated the sequel though.
Haha yep the sequel was SUCH a letdown. Missed opportunity big time.
