Entertainment Weekly
The director of The Descent is savvy enough to suggest even more than he shows. And he's old-school enough to load up on glimpses of good, clean, gruesome gore. - 83
The A.V. Club
The Descent sustains a level of intensity that most horror films can barely muster for five minutes. - 80
Empire
Brutal, bloody, terrifying, astonishing... And so tense it'll leave you aching. The most significant Brit chiller since "28 Days Later." - 75
ReelViews
This one is a creepy white-knuckle excursion into horror, where even the "boo!" moments are so well developed that they cause a jolt. - 75
New York Daily News
This is one of the scariest movies featuring female heroines since the "Alien" series, and what makes it uniquely scary is where these women are -- in tunnels two miles under ground -- when they realize they are not alone. - 70
Variety
The chills and spills keep comin' to agreeable effect in Brit-made scarefest The Descent. - 70
Film Threat
All in all, this is an accessible art house horror film whose trailer and premise do not do justice to the end result. - 70
Village Voice
In the great B tradition, Marshall gets a lot out of nothing.
