Horror Movie Analysis N°1: The Descent

Welcome to Horror Movie Analysis, A rubric or i speak of a horror movie, and or I assigns a score out of 50, based on five specific criteria: the gore, the atmosphere, the scenario, the actors and the creatures (or the killers) of the film.
For this first installment, I will talk about a film considered one of the most frightening horror films of these recent years: The Descent


Summary: Six young women decide to go make of caving in the mountains. At first everything goes well, but soon after that they are entered into the cave, a landslide prevents them from turning back and one of the girls was seriously injured in the leg. For young women, this is only the beginning of the nightmare, because they will discover that these caves are inhabited by humanoid creatures, blind, and extremely dangerous.

As I said, The Descent is considered one of the most frightening horror movies of these recent years, and I'm agree with that. A dark atmosphere, we dived with these women, in the darkness of these caves, or madness and claustrophobia stalking you.

In this film, the survival instincts take over and our young women are reduced to fight and kill to survive against hordes of thirsty creatures of blood, which will try to shred them. Although the film is slow to start, as soon as the creatures appear, it does not stop and gradually the group of women is mercilessly decimated in a violence and a rage no mercy.

But these women also give a hard time to the creatures. But sometimes survival instinct drives us to do things, even if that means, it should cost the life of a loved one. With the gore and the horror, of dramatic scenes or the destiny push these women to make terrible choices.

This film is not recommended for sensitive people.

The Creatures:

In the movie, the group of women must fight of monsters called the Crawlers. They are prehistoric men who have been stuck underground for centuries, and which are adapted to life underground. Their skin became gray and slimy, and their ears like that of a bat. They move by crawling and can climb walls with extraordinary agility. These monsters are completely blind, but instead, they have extremely sensitive hearing, which allows them to locate their prey. To survive against these monsters, silence is the best weapon.

In addition, they have claws and fangs, terribly effective, and they know or biting for do the most damage and kill their victims quickly.
