how unfortunate and yet also fortunate and that two film about pot hole the cave and the descent should arrive at much the same time . sadly for the descent it release in the uk on 7th of july coincide with the very day of the london underground tube or metro terrorist atrocity that kill almost 60 and injure hundred not a particularly good night or weekend to pop out to the cinema and especially to see a scary a sheesh film about likable woman be trap in a deep and dark and claustrophobic underground caving system . the two movie have virtually the same elements a half dozen or so character and lose in a previously unexplored caving system and with no one outside aware they be trap down there . lot of water and cavern and danger . then ultimately some vicious human like or human derive creature determine to prey upon them . where the two be so different be that the cave be unreal and entirely unbelievable and more alien esquire sci fi fantasy adventure than horror and or drama . the comparatively minuscule budget british film ( film in southern england though set in the appalachian ) be five pair of pant terrify and a heart stop shocker so stomach turn that people walk out of screening early in shock . it knock off the girl in any old order you genuinely have no idea what to expect next surely not her . the descent be also light in naturalistic manner and make it all the more scary and unlike the laughably lit cave which resemble a giant magical christmas santa grotto and with cathedral size room after room dazzling in gloriously blue light from . who know where and while the cavers torch be employ exclusively in artistically light up the granite jaw hero ( each more puppet like than any team america or gerry anderson or thunderbird creation ) . fantastic amount of equipment be carry too and yet despite this the impossibly deep voice actor clearly forget to pack any sense of impend danger and drama and or anything worthy of a horror film it strictly pg rat . and in this instance the actor peg out in exactly the order that everyone expect them to i quickly write a list after be introduce to each character and only get piper perabo out of sequence . the cave script be entirely by number and unlike shakespeare a room full of chimpanzee would eventually write it in under a week . take a typical exchange between the good buddy white and black lead that go while how many time have we be in this situation before bud . too many ( reply morris chesnut ) . i swear and you could hear my suburban london audience gasp at the obviousness . the scary thing about the cave be that at the end there a clear opening for the sequel the cave 2 represent overground or whatever . be afraid and be very afraid . or instead catch the descent and be truly afraid and very very very afraid . rr .
