The Descent (2006)

Synopsis: A group of women go spelunking and end up fighting for their lives.

Like(s): The chemistry between the girls, especially the night before their adventure, is outstanding. I felt like I was right there, hanging out and laughing with them. A few scares actually caused me to jump, and the creatures were eerily realistic! (I especially liked the close-up shot of the North Carolina license plate to give the appearance that this is actually in the Appalachian wilderness.)

Dislike(s): It was slow at times, but I can't call that a true "dislike" as it heightened the psychological dread of being in tight spaces two miles underground.

Candidate For Omission: No.
