The Descent (2005) Excellent British Horror. 8 July 2005 - 1 out of 4 users found this review helpful. Dog Soldiers was enjoyable. This film is better. More polished. The premise is realistic and gripping. Good all round storytelling. The score was impressive, quite haunting actually.The action draws you in. Only complaints were: The underwater scene with Natlalie Mendoza. The action highlight of the film. This scene was far too short! If it lasted longer then it would have been more exciting and gripping. It would have been good to have a proper look at Mendoza underwater! MAKE MORE OF THIS ON THE DVD EXTRAS.



The ending, when one character stabs the other in the leg to hamper her survival. I felt short changed by this.



A very entertaining film which has beaten The Cave to the punch.



9/10.

War of the Worlds (2005) The Tripods looks spectacular 1 July 2005 - 1 out of 6 users found this review helpful. From design, modelling, animation and final rendering, the Tripods are a paragon of Alien design.



Streamlined, aggressive and terrifying, I have never witnessed aliens like this on film. The head is a circular front light display capped off by a helmet. The legs are 3 taped tentacles. Two at the front, one at the back. They end in three pronged hands. The other smaller tentacles they have top off the look. The only humour in the film comes from the aliens. Sucking up people with a tentacled straw and later pissing them out as red weed fertiliser. The aliens in the cellar spinning a wheel was a good touch. So was the tripod reflections in car windows.



They rock man, they make the film.
