The Descent - Unrated Version (2005) ***1/2

There are many aspects of Neil Marshall's The Descent (2005) that I love—the premise, the top notch all-female cast, the cinematography (though some of the camerawork is not my speed), the production design, the creatures, the effects, the gore. But the film (which I've seen three times now) has never quite grabbed me the way I wish it would. It's a very good, straightforward, tightly paced, claustrophobic, and somber horror thriller but not quite a classic for this viewer.
