Verdict
For the average Joe

Neil Marshall’s The Descent was an alright movie.

Trouble staying focused

On this rewatch, I had trouble staying focused, especially after seeing part 2, which doesn’t mix well with this version.

The alternate ending

The alternate ending that was displayed in Europe has you guessing. Was this a choose your own adventure?

Night eight on the scare schedule

This was night eight of 31 Nights of Halloween — one horror film a night, all October. The rest of the month is mapped out if you want to follow along as the scores pile up.
