{movie} the descent (2006)

A pleasure caving trip turns frightful in this horror film written and directed by Neil Marshall. Six girlfriends, led by thrill seeker Juno (Natalie Mendoza), go spelunking a year after a tragic incident. But when they get trapped under the earth, all rationale escapes them as they start to suffer from limited oxygen and delusions -- or are they? Now, the friends must find a way to escape the cave and the murky creatures that lie within it.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: * God, this movie sucked. One of the worst I've seen all year. I was very disappointed, but I wasn't really expecting that much. Some people liked that the movie had no story and was all gore, but that just drove me crazy as I actually like my horror movies to have a story, even if it's lame. Claudia Puig of USA Today must be an idiot (and I venture to guess a lesbian as well) because, contrary to what she said in her review, the first 20 minutes almost made me turn off this movie and only a lesbian could find a bunch of women sitting around doing nothing interesting. The whole movie is horrible and I couldn't sit through it after the first 45 minutes and had to turn it off. I fast forwarded to the end as I wasn't too worried about missing much. The ending was as bad as the rest of the film. This was a horrible movie. Run!
