Going downhill, take three.

Yes, this post has already been eaten twice. But like a fool I’ll try again.

I cannot wait for this movie to be released (next Friday). Some of you who may be reading from across the pond may have already seen it, I hear it’s out on video in the UK already. But for me, it’s new.

Here is a clip from it, here’s a review, and below you can see a poster. Not your typical Disney family comedy, eh?

Now we’ve all seen this before, claustrophobic setting and a handful of people fending off a horde of flesh eating beasties on the loose. But from where I was stabbing; THE DESCENT had to be the best horror thriller of its kind since ALIEN and ALIENS. It had me in its clawed grasp throughout, pummeled me senseless on every plane along the way and didn’t let me go till the destroying finale frame. That’s what I call putting an audience member through the freaking ringer! To top it off; this flick was so much more than just monsters vs. humans at that! Every angle that came with this baby was simply put; a battle. A fight against personal loss, a fight against mother nature, a fight against shady friends, a fight against one’s fears and yes a fight against a slew of humanoid, bat like creatures who crave Happy Meals of human flesh. The Pizza was all dressed and then some!
