#KLUCZ DO IVONA READER MOVIE#
You know what the movie needs right about now? Some way to *really* crank up the scare-factor! I know! How about some… things living in the cave?!?!?! Hungry things. They finally find signs that the cave has been explored in the past, but the found equipment is so old that it’s not a comfort. Holly, the adrenaline junkie, is seriously grooving on the whole thing, which just pisses most of the others off even more. After some interpersonal conflict (to be politically correct about it, and not worse than what any group of guys would go through in the same situation), they decide that the only thing to do is to move farther in and find a different way out. Recap: The ladies are in an unexplored cave with their only known entrance blocked by a collapse, and nobody knows that they’re there. She decided on her own that the other cavern was too tame, and led everyone to an unexplored system that she’d found. Even worse, she admits that the map wouldn’t have helped, since they aren’t in the cave that they thought they were going to. Only problem is, Juno informs everyone that she didn’t bring the map along. Only one thing to do, and that’s to find another exit route. Everyone makes it out of that tunnel, barely, but equipment is lost in the scramble and most importantly, their way back out is blocked. Things go downhill fast when the cavern behind the girls starts to collapse. In that situation, you could call me “cork”. Tight enough so that taking a deep breath isn’t possible. How tight? How about on your belly with your arms straight in front of you, pushing your pack along while you push yourself forward with your toes. The film uses the alieness and unknown nature of cave systems to maximum effect, leaving you uncomfortable and edgy even as things are going along relatively smoothly.Īs the ladies pass through one extremely tight passage, one of the girls starts to panic from the ultra-close quarters and her friend goes back inside the rock tunnel to calm her down and help her get through it. These scenes alone convinced me that you have to be insane to be a caver. Being a cavern, sound does funny things, and the fact that all lighting is artificial and carried makes for confusing shadows and murky corners.
As they move deeper into the caves, a few odd things are seen out of the corner of the eye, or odd sounds are heard. Stupid decision? Maybe.Īfter entering the cave system, the ladies start exploring, and here’s where the movie goes from tense to eerie to downright scary.
The first sense that all is not as it seems is when Juno considers the map and guide book for the cavern, and then decides not to bring it, tossing it back into her car. There is some griping about going to that particular cavern because it is so well-known and thus probably relatively tame. Juno has selected a large well-known cavern to explore and the group has individually prepared themselves for it. The “extreme” adventure for this gathering is caving. Holly is a newcomer to the group, an avowed adrenaline junkie and although she’s competent, she’s also rash and self-centered. Sarah and her best friend Juno are the alpha females of the group, but each of the women are strong and independent. This vacation is the first time that they’re all together since before the tragedy, and the tension within the group is high. After last year’s outing, Sarah’s family was killed in an auto accident. The Descent is the story of a group of women who get together every year for an “extreme” vacation. Unlike Arachnophobia though, there are no little jokes or touches of humor to lighten the moment. Much like Arachnophobia freaked out people afraid of spiders, this flick will emotionally wring out anyone who's the least bit claustrophobic. This movie won’t scare you silly, it will scare you shitless. I’d rather be scared silly than grossed out with gore. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I am not a big fan of slasher flicks.
