My thoughts on The Descent:
The movie starts off really strong with one of the better “Holy shyt!” moments in movie-dom. That scene gets your appetite whet for some serious bloody horror but before you are fed the film takes an odd detour as The Descent descends into a 35 minute Massengill commercial. We are introduced to the group of doomed women thrill seekers as they sit around a cabin drinking and talking about guys and their periods for what seems like an eternity.
But once the ladies entered that cave The Descent took an awesome turn as all hell broke loose and things didn’t slow down until the ending credits. There was nothing but nonstop flesh-eating, throat-slashing, ass-kicking horror goodness.
Particular kudos goes to Natalie Mendoza as the tough as nails Juno. She becomes the de facto leader of the endangered ladies and she whoops much mole man ass throughout the second half of this flick. She really does seem to be channeling Ripley from the Alien movies at certain moments.
A slight gripe I had was with the ending for the US release which I thought was subpar compared to the original ending that was shown in the UK but that’s a small complaint that’s easily remedies depending on where and how one acquires their viewing materials. So hopefully everyone who watched this today got their hands on the UK ending.

Word? You double check?
in every horror franchise. I'm buying Box Sets the step up my collection. You in the woods, in the basement, won't leave the haunted house, playing with demonic shyt, on the internet, fukking in random spots, bullying the killer. Always going to investigate some shyt. Much more shyt you do I didn't think of.
