The Descent (2005)

SYNOPSIS: An extreme outdoor adventure where six women meet in a remote part of the Appalachians to explore a cave hidden deep in the woods - good idea! Of course they find unspeakable horror - quelle suprise!
HIGHS: Monster is scary - for a little bald man. Spike to the "ocular cavity". P.O.B. otherwise known as the Pit of Blood - because every cave comes with a POB.
LOWS: Who drives with "spears" attached to their roof? 1,000 cave monsters? I could believe a cave with like - eight - but 1,000 undiscovered monsters?!
MEMORABLE LINES: They're completely blind and hunt by sonar. Like bats. They have evolved perfectly.
BONUS HIGH: Caveman's eye pops - sploosh!

Sammy: 7/10
Johnny: 6/10
Sian: 8/10
Nick: 8/10

I like the P.O.B. effect although it's strange that when the chicks fall into the P.O.B. that the light in the cave turns red for dramatic effect. I like plot holes too, but not as much as P.O.B.'s that's all. Still the P.O.B. just might crack my top 20 greatest scary movie moments ever. I'll get back to you on that one.
