| The Descent poster from IMDb site |
Ever
thought about taking a trip with friends into a cave that goes deep into the Earth?
Well, 2005’s The Descent directed by Neil Marshell will have you thinking twice
before ever, ever, doing anything of the sort. This movie brings out the best
(and worst) in a group of friends as they climb down a dark, wet, and (spoiler)
uncharted cave. Yep, you read correctly, not only that but this movie is not
for people that become claustrophobic easily. As you hold your breath in this
lung tightening movie try putting yourself in their shoes. Would you be grief
stricken Sarah or the fierce Juno? IMDb and a little over 100,000 users rate
this movie as a 7.5 out of 10, which given the ending and the next movie proceeding it is fair. See link
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435625/ . I wouldn't suggest wasting time watching part 2 because as most sequels do, it
ruins everything.

| Evil Dead picture from IMDb site |
2013’s
Evil Dead directed by Fede Alvarez just
recently came out in theaters and creates a nice original set of twists that
keep you from predicting even the ending. Aside from the twists this movie is
gory and I mean gorrry. Which is nice but towards the end it seems to try to
push it with overly extensive and unrealistic amounts of limb removing. Also it’s
hard to tell if it’s the writing or the acting but it seems some of the
characters become under developed and to be written with the only goal of making
each scene gorier than the last. It does however make up for it by making it unique.
This might make you jump in some instances but for the most part I thought this
movie was okay. Comparing it to the original 1981 version, which is hilarious and is on
Netflix.com, this movie tends to move away from funny to just gruesome. Overall
I give it a 6 out of 10 rating. IMDb and almost 18,000 users give it a generous
7.2 out of 10. See link

. Let me know what you think of this newly released movie! Does it live up to
your expectations?
