In the winter of her senior year, Maya talks to Jared at a frat party, accepts his invitation to dinner at a nice restaurant, then goes to his apartment, just to talk. He assaults her. Her personality changes, she's withdrawn; she graduates and takes a job at a clothing store, staying apart from co-workers. At night, she's someone else: a beauty at the club scene, dancing, seductive, sniffing cocaine, becoming the friend of a heavy hitter. She thinks about her racial identity. That fall, she's a grad student, and Jared is in an exam she proctors. She invites him to her apartment; he's certain she's stuck on him.
Leave your thoughts about Descent.
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinThe Descent was better when the women were battling nature and their own demons rather than monsters capable of crawling across ceilings. |
| Upstage MagazineKam WilliamsBenefiting from well-concealed reveals, shocking developments, truly unnerving antagonists, taut editing and a hair-raising score, this neverending nightmare is easily the best horror flick of 2006. |
| CosmopolitanEliza C. ThompsonThe Descent is already unusual for being a horror movie with an all-female cast, but it's even more unique for being the kind of movie that explores the damage caused by a friend's betrayal. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesOnce it gets going, it shakes you and keeps shaking you. |
| 3BlackChicks ReviewKamal 'The Diva' LarsuelYou will feel like you have descended to the pits of hell. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperTHE DESCENT is a genuinely suspenseful adventure and horror film. The scariest monster is the cave itself. |
| eFilmCritic.comDavid CorneliusThis is the kind of horror movie horror fans mention when they try to explain why they love horror movies. |
| The RingerSean FennesseyAn all-female cast, a claustrophobic cave setting draped in red light, and an anarchic, vicious fight to the death...need I say more about one of the most physically taxing movies of the century? |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersNot since James Cameron burst onto the scene with The Terminator has a director crafted as deliriously kinetic a calling card as writer/director Neil Marshall does with his new horrific subterranean adventure The Descent. |
| Movies.comDave WhiteIt's just what you want in a horror film -- steadily building suspense, a smart script, actual fear, claustrophobia, tons of gore and brutality, and an ending that doesn't feel like cheating. |
