DVD Review "THE DESCENT" Score B- 80%

Another addition to the hot chicks can kick some monster ass film genre. This one starts out rather boring, a kind of twenty something SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELLING...WHATEVER... These girls are out for a 'girls weekend' in a camp and plan on going hiking and cave dwelling... They go to what they think is a previously explored cave system and then come to find out that they were mislead by one of them and this is a new cave area unexplored. Finally after what seems to be a darkened eternity they run into problems, get trapped and must escape... now what was a mostly unlit film, becomes filled with more light, only so we can see what is going on... and they run into a pack of cave dwelling, blind bat humanoid creatures who hunt them down to eat them, and suddenly the light that was almost gone now becomes a given in every scene without question as to where its coming from. The typical horror cliches apply as well as some in-fighting between them as they are picked off. Creatures are decently scary and there are some jump moments to be had. Not a bad film to rent. SPOILER: The end almost becomes satisfying until they pull out a Oops that was just a dream ending ha ha.... Should have let her escape and ended it there.
