The Descent reviews are now coming in… and to be honest they are simply not high enough. As I mentioned yesterday on The Audio Edition in my Descent review, the film is my movie of the year so far and easily the scriest film I”ve watched in at least the last 5 years. It really is that good.
But to each their own, and as I always say, the most beautiful thing about movies are the pure subjectivity of them. So here is what some of the critics are saying in their The Descent reviews:
“The Descent pulls you down into a dark nightmare and doesn’t let you come up for air until the end-credits roll.”
Staci Layne Wilson, ABOUT.COM“Packed with slick surprises, jarring jolts, gruesome gore, and unbearable tension, The Descent is one of the best horror films of the past several years.”
Scott Weinberg, EFILMCRITIC.COM“Bring a change of pants, because this one’s a soiler.”
Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM“Brutal, bloody, terrifying, astonishing.”
Dan Jolin, EMPIRE MAGAZINE [UK]“The Descent is very simply the scariest film I’ve seen in years.”
Jeffrey M. Anderson, COMBUSTIBLE CELLULOID
As of this moment, The Descent is holding a strong 87%. But as I said, this thing deserves even better. I ended up giving The Decent a 9.5 out of 10, which is the highest score I’ve given a film in almost 2 years. But that’s just me. To see more The Descent reviews you can go here.
