Orpheus_Unlimited I'll make this very short & easy: don't waste your precious time watching this atrocity. It's a complete insult to the senses.Photography in this film is horrible. Acting is laughable. Music is bad. FX are mostly C grade, especially makeup & CGI (practical ones are kinda OK though). There's way better editing on an average YouTube video. And the acting is bad, bad, bad. Oh, did I already said that? Well...that's how bad it is.But by far the worst offender here is the script. Some truly ghastly experiments created some really nasty creatures. So the movie starts with a really lame "search & destroy" military operation going bad. 2 years later the site is home of a rave party (!) and a group of friends end up trapped underground. 2 yrs? 2 yrs!? That's it? So the government sends a black ops team to an underground military bunker and everyone dies. So naturally that's it. Game over. Let's just forget everything about that place and keep going. No "hey, maybe we should go and check if someone got out of there alive" or something? Nah. The creatures we wanted dead will probably die of old age. Why bother, right? And that's only the beginning. I'm not going to say anything else because I don't wanna spoil "the fun" for any masochist out there, willing to waste 80+ minutes watching this thing. But you have characters doing the most dumb and unreasonable things. A couple of veteran soldiers that display no real knowledge of military tactics or anything useful whatsoever, other than telling sad war stories. Characters pulling "facts" and knowledge out of thin air, knowing things there's no way they could possibly know. Things happening one minute and other things contradicting the first ones happening on the next minute without any sort of rational explanation. There's even a scene where a guy takes off his shirt and do almost nothing for 3+ minutes just to show his abs (seriously, there's no real reason for it, not even in the scene's context that demands quickness and taking off your clothes will waste very valuable time). And I'm not even going to mention the dreadful & incoherent ending. I've seen bad movies with bad scripts. But this is one of the worst ones. The story here is like something a teenager wrote for a high school essay. I can't believe a professional writer did such an awful job.This movie has zero redeeming qualities. Not even a couple of one liners or some cool jokes here & there. It's just plain bad. With emphasis on the plain aspect. There's really no reason to watch it. Not even to make fun of it. -1/10

Leofwine_draca Neil Marshall's THE DESCENT was a fine stab at a survival horror yarn, featuring some excellent locations (those dank and dismal caves were a perfect backdrop for the scares) and a race of nasty villains who seemed to be descended from Gollum. UNDERGROUND is a cheap and nasty American version of the above, with the setting swapped to an underground military bunker.Unfortunately, UNDERGROUND has much in common with modern-day B-movies as it's the kind of film you watch and mildly enjoy in places, but soon forget about once the credits roll. The script and production values of this film are poor, with much of the running time consisting of too much repetitive wandering around in semi-darkness. Needless to say the characters are bland and undistinguished, with nobody to root for.The monsters in the film are passable, and I enjoyed the couple of fight scenes that we get here and there (the choreography isn't too shabby). As with many B-movies, the gore content is ramped up to compensate for failings elsewhere, and there are a couple of great gags involving eyeball violence and a twist on the old "ripped in half" joke. Sadly, the film as a whole is just too dark and bland to be worth watching, though.

shaun7000 This is kind of a strange film...well done in certain parts and really poorly done in others. The acting was fine 90% of the time but you get the sense that some footage was filmed in a rush not allowing the actors to portray fitting emotion in some scenes.The special effects were great, but the editing was a little sloppy in some scenes I couldn't follow what was happening, I remember on a few occasions losing the actors positions due to either the editing or filming of the footage. There were some lighting and sound issues too, I had to keep turning the brightness and sound up and down to see and hear what was going on, it was a bit amateur home video.The first few minutes of the film had some really cheesy unbelievable dialogue which unfortunately there are more cheesy lines to follow.Something went wrong with this movie you can tell, some scenes are perfect, some are a terrible car crash...cash flow?, time limitations?, poor decisions? take a guess.

hopla68 We all known this story. genetically altered monsters lurk in the dark and a bunch of twenty somethings are being preyed upon. Especially in the 80's and 90's i could rent a film like this on good old VHS almost every week. Nothing much has changed plot-wise or execution wise; however there are a few standouts produced between then and now and with this film the descent comes to mind. what makes this film somewhat different from countless others is the fact that it takes a while ( almost too long) before our group is able to fight back. when that moment comes though we are given some intens and claustrophobic fight outs that make the most of the limited budget. There is a flow in this movie that makes it work, there is no light note to be found, its all played very seriously ( which is a refreshing turn). There are enough claustrophobic and tense moments to keep your attention.there are a few bad points of course; 1 it takes a long time before the group fights back, which means that for most of the movie they are just running, getting grabbed and getting munched on. 2 the evul doctor side plot is not needed and is a distraction; i mean they even gave the guy a zjerman accent.. way too much. 3 could have been edited a little tighter, 10 minutes less of running and screaming wouldn't have hurt the movie at all. All in all a recommended timewaster. especially if you see the menu consists nowadays of Sci-FI orginals and indie flicks that are a disgrace to the viewer.
