Sharp 'Descent'

Still haven't seen Snakes on a Plane, but I did catch The Descent last night. I'm glad I caught it; it's probably the scariest film I've seen since Open Water.

Holy crap, I didn't know how claustrophobic I was until the six women (none of whom are victims, nicely, but rather proactive characters) started squeezing through impossibly narrow passages -- and that's before the icky Crawlers enter the picture. Character development is minimal, but the scare-factor is high. Highly recommended (especially if you see it with a scaredy-cat whose reactions temper your own fears).
