When the first outbreak of the Reaper virus hit Scotland, Eden Sinclair was one of the last to escape containment and had to leave her mother behind. Twenty-five years later, Maj. Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) leads a team back into the hot zone to find a counteragent to the virus, which has re-emerged in London. She and her comrades wage a desperate battle for survival against feral survivors, as they try to prevent it from ushering in a new dark age.

I would rather have The Descent on UHD, but ok.

Guilty pleasure gore deluxe. And it has Bob Hoskins. Will get this 100%, if it's the unrated version.

Yup, guilty pleasure fun, but the shaky cam / quick cut / super closeup action scenes really killed my enjoyment of it on a recent rewatch. Maybe it's something we've gotten away from, thankfully, and forgot how terrible it was, but it's really REALLY bad in this movie.

[KulasDevorn]

If it is not the Unrated version, then I'll pass. Yet again, the better version of the movie is not in 4K.

[rocknblues81]

Will get if unrated.

I remember thinking The Descent got alittle overhyped, but I need to watch it again.

[MifuneFan]

The Descent is amazing.

[Gretiem]

Nice. Rhona Mitra in UHD.

That and slo-mo. Glad filmmakers have moved past that nonsense.

I didn't like this film initially but it has grown on me and now I love it. It's a mish mash of Escape From New York, Mad Max and a host of modern zombie films all rolled into one...Marshall was clearly influenced by them. He even used the same font as EFNY for the titles lol.

I have a hybrid DVD/Blu-ray combo pack of this and have been wanting to replace it for a long time.

[bowiee1984]

only worth it if it is the unrated edition.

[meremortal]

Been meaning to watch the old blu and forgot about it over time. Agree with others that The Descent is awesome; it'd be interesting to see how the dark scenes look with hdr and a new scan.

Confirmed no UNRATED 4K.

[MifuneFan]

Annoying they didn't put the Unrated as the 4K at the very least.

[DR Herbert West]

Maybe Marshall prefers the theatrical cut.

[rocknblues81]

Might have to skip this one now.

[Monterey Jack]

HORRIBLE movie, and the last movie I saw at the old Dedham theater before it got torn down to make way for the Legacy Place plaza.

[Rayjg]

The Descent and Dog Soldiers are genre perfection...this was a turd back in 2008 when I saw in the cinema and it's a turd now.
