Movie Reviews of Descent (Original 'NC-17' Version)
Movie Review: Hard to review...even harder to watch
Summary: 3 Stars
Not to be confused with The Descent (Unrated Widescreen Edition) (which I loved, by the way!), this film focuses on the trials and tribulations of college coed, Maya, and how her life is affected after being raped. The movie made me quite uncomfortable in a couple of spots, so I guess it succeeded in that aspect. But after a certain point, I just said "enough is enough". I am not a woman and have no idea how a woman would feel after such an ordeal and this movie did not make me any more empathetic. It did, however, make me feel like I was watching something I shouldn't be. Watch the film if you must, but be prepared to squirm and then take a shower afterwards..
Summary of Descent (Original 'NC-17' Version)
Maya (Rosario Dawson) is like many other college coeds, booksmart yet shy, curious about sex, yet scared to let herself go. One night she meets Jared (played by Chad Faust). When their courtship turns from romantic to horrific in a single violent act, Maya's world is ripped inside-out. Shutting out everyone in her life, Maya loses herself to a dark throbbing underworld of experimentation. Lured by club DJ Adrian (Marcus Patrick), she awakens to a cold and vicious new strength. But will Maya's downward spiral consume and destroy her - or will she be saved by its power? (Edited R-Rated version also availble on DVD).Drama DVD Video
