THE DESCENT PART 2 2009

So claustrophobic in parts that I almost had to stop watching. Pretty good though I already knew what to expect.

I thought that was a pointless sequel. The first movie is great. They chickened out on the ending in America. The UK version has the true ending.



The Rental -

The Rental is on demand so I checked it out.

I have mixed feelings about The Rental. On one hand, it does have a good title as the movie is worth a rental. I wouldn't own it. But at times the movie is pretty good. It's better than the Friday the 13th remake. And at parts I thought it was going to be better than the original Friday the 13th. Although I'm not the biggest fan of the original Friday the 13th, I like Part 2 far more. Besides Part 2 has basically the best parts of Friday the 13th at the beginning.

Why I mention Friday the 13th is because it starts off like a horror movie with the people going to a remote location. Instead of a wooded camp with teenagers we have a luxury house on a cliff with adults. But more Friday the 13th elements are there like drug use, breaking rules, late night party, shower scene (without nudity), creepy guy, etc. The movie even has a twist. However to get to the rest of the review I need to spoil the movie.

Ok. When the movie starts, they show a man and a woman looking at the luxury house. I thought they were married or a couple but they are business partners. It's one of those odd things in that some people say they don't understand relationships. But to me, only the wrong people get in relationships with people just for physical appearance. You have to have something in common. So after that first scene, the woman's boyfriend walks in and it's the other guy's brother. You can easily see where this is going. Anyway these three characters along with the first guy's wife decide to have a couples vacation at this luxury house.

The movie is basically a horror movie style relationship drama. The obvious happens. The wife goes to sleep early. The first guy's brother passes out. Late night drug use and a hot tub scene with the business partners who I thought were a couple at the beginning leads to a shower meet up. I guess some people like this sort of dramatic stuff and it's ok in the movie because it leads to something else. The house has hidden cameras! It's the part where I stopped watching the trailer.

The business partners are afraid that the video will be on the Internet I guess. So not only do they have to keep a secret but they want to get the video from the creepy rental guy. I'm not going to spoil that much more but things spiral out of control due to the brother and his tendencies as he just got out of jail for a college fight. Then that twist happens which made me think of Friday the 13th even more.

I was very interested in the movie. Could this be a modern Friday the 13th? The killer is acting like a modern Jason. But then it does something so many modern horror movies do. It turns the killer into the hero at the end. Now I get that the couples aren't the best people. The wife who brings the drugs. The ex-con brother. The two cheating business partners. The guy of which doesn't care about starting new relationships while being in a relationship. But still I was hoping for a final girl type setup or something new and different. There are some great funny and scary scenes late in the movie. But in the end, I was like ok. A sequel might work and make this a good double feature but the killer would easily get caught.

Still it's worth a rental or checking out on demand. It's a short movie. Also, the wife character was in Scream 4. She's pretty good in The Rental. I think she's kind of popular but I've only seen her in these two movies.

The sequel would have made sense if the asian chick actually survived. She was my hero.

Really? Do you remember the opening scene of The Descent? Even though she's pretty, she's actually the real villain of the movie.
