I went to see this with an open mind and was not disappointed. Although as others have said the two boys could not have met unobserved for so long, if you are prepared to overlook this you have a wonderful film. Almost as painful to watch as the inmates' suffering are the terrible effects on Bruno's family as it becomes harder for them to be able to ignore what is going on around them. The Lieutenant seems to be a stereotype until the dinner scene, when suddenly even he becomes a real human being.
Nearly all the horrific events are implied and off-screen, but the constant understated references are very clever: the black clouds blowing over the garden, and the chillingly brilliant scene with Gretel's dolls stored in the cellar, so innocent in itself but so evocative of what was really happening.
I would not class this as a children's film, but the way it is done from Bruno and Shmuel's perspective means that (older) children can relate to the characters. Nobody in the cinema said a word when the credits rolled when I saw it, it is so powerful. See this film.

I am a caver, and knew that the sets were mostly studio before I saw it, so was very pleasantly surprised by just how good the sets are. A few inaccuracies- mostly the cast's clothing- but also some amazingly realistic touches: in the close-up of them rigging the traverse across the chasm, there is coloured tape around the krab (fastener) so the owner can tell it is theirs. Yep, we all do that. I also loved the part in the same scene where the first obsolete equipment is found in a "new" system... uh-oh. Also the night before, with them all drinking beer in the cabin- yes, all the cavers I know do exactly that!
I liked the fact that the Crawlers mostly were real actors, not CG- much more work involved and they look good close-up. The Descent is a great horror film, but it would also be a great movie if there were no monsters and it just followed them trying to find a way out.
Put me off caving? No way. But it has made me wary of vans and trucks with loads of scaffold poles and pipes!
