The Descent

When Holly drops and breaks her leg, about 45 minutes into the movie, the slip-wire is visible, reflecting in the light from the flashlights.

In the end, when Sarah has parked her car at the side of the road, the entire car is on the grass.

When the trailer almost hit her, the car is back on the road.

This should only be considered a goof in the US theatrical release.

In the Director's Cut, Sarah is hallucinating the entire escape sequence, and any goofs can be considered part of the hallucination.

Towards the end when Sarah is driving along the road, the road markings change from US to UK.

This should only be considered a goof in the US theatrical release.

When the girls are crossing the first chasm.

The first two have crossed and they are hooking up the third one, you can clearly see four people behind the third.

Several times throughout the movie, as characters brush up against stalactites you can see the stalactites move.

Stalactites are rigid formations and do not sway or bend with contact.

In the end, a logging truck is depicted speeding by on the North Carolina highway.

The tail markings, reflectors, and technical gearing on it represent UK transit requirements instead of standard USA (OTR) specs.

This should only be considered a goof in the US theatrical release.

When one of the girls is looking for climbing equipment, but doesn't have any with her, she says, "Oh, fuck," but her mouth doesn't move.

When one of the girls falls and tries to get up to a tunnel, she grabs a large rock to help herself up.

You can see the rock bend and wiggle under her weight.

The cave drawings featured a woolly rhinoceros which lived in Eurasia.

None have been found in North America.

They lived during the Pleistocene epoch (1,808,000 to 11,550 years before present) and are known mainly through cave drawings.

Recent carbon dating has shown that populations may have survived as recently as 8000 B.

in Western Siberia.

A nearly complete specimen was also found in a tar pit in Starunia, Poland.

The oldest known cave paintings are approximately 40,000 years old.

When the girls reach the cave, the blue truck parks and the BMW parks on its left side.

When the last girl reaches the surface, she gets in the blue truck.

When she goes to the truck, the beamer isn't there, but when she pulls out it's on the left again.

This should only be considered a goof in the US theatrical release.

In the Director's Cut, Sarah is hallucinating the entire escape sequence, and any goofs can be considered part of the hallucination.

When Sarah falls into the pool of blood, the torch falls behind the big rock to her left.

In the next shots, the torch is on the top of the rock.

Near the start, as the girls are heading to the cave in the 4X4's, the spare wheel switches sides on the rear of the older vehicle.

Cars in North Carolina are not required to have front license plates.

Also, the license tag is made up of four digits followed by three letters; on North Carolina plates, letters precede numbers.

In the first tunnel, when the camera follows one of the girls climbing in it, you can clearly see the wheel marks of the camera on the ground.

When Juno falls into the pool towards the end (just before finding Sarah), when she resurfaces from underwater, her ice pick is bent.

However, she then uses a straightened ice pick to help her climb the wall.

The green light almost never matches the green glowsticks supposedly casting them.

Several times the actors' shadows fall in the direction of the glowstick, rather than away from it.

While the rock climbing scenes in this movie are technically an order of magnitude better than most Hollywood attempts, when Juno follows across the first chasm, she wouldn't have bothered to re-rack the cams she was collecting to the gear loops on her harness.

Completely unclipping them from the rope is both unnecessarily energy expending and dangerous, since she could easily drop a free cam into the abyss below.

Most climbers faced with following a leader on a roof like that would simply disengage the cam from the rock and let it slide safely down the rope where it would collect by the climber's harness for later racking.

In the blood pool when a monster is killed by an antler to the eye, the bone is dropped afterward and it floats.

On the 4x4 can be seen UK-spec headlights for left-hand traffic, showing that the vehicle in question was definitely not in North Carolina.

When the copper poles slide off the driver's roof towards the car Sarah and her family are in, the ends start off perfectly round, then suddenly become sharp and pointed, then become round again when shown in the aftermath of the accident.

Sarah hears the sound of an eagle while she is lying in bed.

She goes to the window and it is still nighttime and dark outside.

Eagles don't fly at night.

Even though you know from the get go what will happen generally, this is really a thrilling movie. The graphics are great and 'the monsters' are realistic (and by that I mean that it looks realistic).

A group of rebel women explorers enter a mysterious and creepy cave together uncertain of what to expect in hopes for a great adventure to remembered until they get lost inside. The Descent is gloriously nerve wracking while being really well filmed!

We begin with some adventurous, athletic women whitewater rafting. They drive away with a bored-looking man who drives into a head-on mishap.

Expectations were High since I watched the sequel first, yeah yeah its OK, but specially because of Dog Soldiers & Centurion, very enjoyable ones.It looked good at the beginning: The accident, the introduction of characters, entering the cavern...

This movie had me totally freaked out even before the real action started. It's been instantly relegated to my top horror flick list as well as my top movies with female heroes in it.

A small group of friends get trapped in an unknown cave and encounters some monsters that are something like vampires only without all the sunlight and biting and stuff, and now they have to find their way out. That's pretty much all that the movie's about.

The first time I saw this it scared the holy hell out of me. I couldn't shake that feeling off for a while afterward and to me that's the sign of a great horror flick!

Who are the people reviewing this film? Maybe if it wasn't known as a horror it would get higher reviews.

This movie is about 6 dumb biatches. That's it.
