20 Feet Below: The Darkness Descending

Don't judge this by the bad reviews. Give it a try first. Very good acting and direction. Lots of satisfyingly glib dialogue.

Sorry but this movie does not work for we.

Danny Trejo being on the cover was enough for me to watch the film, but too bad his stardom did nothing to make the film better. I've seen him save his fair share of B-movies just by appearing on screen for a few minutes and being bad ass, but this movie is not it.

I did like the concept of a filmmaker documenting the people living in New York City's subway system, with one of them played by Trejo, seeing himself as a messenger of God who slays the wicked, and by wicked I mean the privileged Wall Street types, so obviously he's able to find a group of people willing to help him rid the city of this vermin.

The film making is very lackluster, enough so that the found footage documentary style the film is doing seems so played out. You know the film is cheap just by the fact that they can't get Trejo to even comment to a half hour worth of footage. Not really good when he's your main villain and the most interesting out of his army.

Danny's appearance is truly just a few minutes and it's not worth the trouble to see it just for that. I've seen him make a cameo like apprentice in far better B-movies like, In the Blood, which is worth seeing, so see that.

First, I want to start the same way I start all my reviews. I love horror movies. I grew up watching them since I was a little kid.

This movie I don't consider a horror movie, but more of an action movie. Did it get a little dark sometimes? Yeah it did. Was it a little bit bloody and gory yes a little but to me, It was more action than it was horror. Even though it was marked horror.

I'm not usually a big fan of Danny Trejo. I just never enjoyed his films. This is one film. I can actually say that I really Enjoyed watching him.

All of the people in this movie did a great job in acting. The main girl Kinga Philipps I is the only person where I did not enjoy her acting at all. It was awful In my opinion.

Michael Rene Walton Played his character so well! He really did a great job portraying crazy.

I would definitely recommend this movie.

Review: What an awful movie. I lost interest after the first 15 minutes and I really struggled to stay awake through the rest. I didn't know what was happening from one scene to the next and I didn't really care. I know that it was about this underworld with good and evil living there but that was about it. Everyone that starred in the movie was overacting except for a Trejo who was pretty cool. By the end of the film I didn't know who was who or what was what and I wasn't about to rewind the film to find out. It amazing me how films like these actually get a budget. Awful!

Round-Up: None of the actors in this film, except for Trejo, looks familiar so I can't really comment about there previous work or there careers. The leading character got on my nerves after a while and his whole moody persona was annoying. I understand that the character had a shady past and the whole dark underworld feel was needed for the character, but it was hard to watch. Basically it was another bad choice on my behalf but I'm sure that this type of film has it's audience, somewhere in the wilderness. 

I recommend this movie to people who are into there thrillers about a dark underworld controlled by a evil man who doesn't like outsiders. 1/10

I'm honestly shocked by the ratings that others have been giving this movie! Maybe it's my community outreach homeless project that we've been doing my ex and I at the state capitol or maybe it's the fact that this is just like a comic book and I am a total comic book Junkie but I love this movie and I think I'm going to have to buy it after watching it once! The acting is spot-on, the script is spot-on, this cinematography is amazing, this is probably my favorite even above Sons of Anarchy and Dusk till Dawn is that my boys been in! All around this is just an amazing movie there's not one thing about it that I would change at all! I'm completely impressed the cast in the crew are to be commended for the amazing work they did!
