You’re 51? Holy shit. I thought you were in your 30s or 40s. But that does explain all the old references.
51 isn't that old. I'm 43, and I am as young as I want to feel.😊
@@karaduke6874 48 and I look and feel much younger.
@@A_UA-cam_Commenter i'm 22 and i have the legs and body of a 90 year old lmao
I thought 40s myself.
How to survive this movie:
1. don’t go into unmarked caves, dammit
It’s very comforting to know you can’t accidentally end up in The Descent 😂
Me and a friend of mine did that once while we were tripping on Mushrooms. We got pretty far down in it before we realized it wasn't a good idea. All we had for a light was a crappy glow stick and our cell phone flashlights. Good times indeed! 🤣
2. don't make friends with people who will lead you into an unmarked cave for their own gain...or sleep with your husband
3. Don't bring PTSD patients on a spelunking trip when they're still recoving from a serious traumatic event.
this guy genuinely seems like such a nice guy to run into
*Seems* ...JK 😂
He's an icon. A Cypher. And an anchor to our innocence, misplaced in a Rahu demon( look it up) --sponsored corporate chaos of a country. A landmark in cinema.
I'm 27 and am terrified of the dark. When I was about 3 years old, some older kids locked me in a playroom in my home. It didn't have windows. I was in there for about ten minutes, but to a kid it would have felt like hours. My mom found me hiding under a desk in the room. Ever since then, I've had a fear of the dark. It's never gone away and probably won't. 😑
Damn bro....that's some harsh shit!
@@faustlove You think that's harsh... oh boy do I have another one for you. When I was 5 I had open heart surgery and woke up during the procedure and tried to sit up while already cut open. I've got some horror stories...
Omg!
@@theNewBee Yea... 😓
I'm the opposite, mostly because I can actually see pretty well in the dark when my glasses are off
Are you going to do The Descent 2? Also, there’s no way you’re 51. You look amazing!
Asian don't raisin.
He Pinoy.
I dont remember if I saw Descent 2 or not. Was it as good as the first?
Right! Even his voice sounds great for 50 lol
I actually assumed he was like 32 lmao
He barely looks 40
The second one sucks! Just watch YMS for the sequel.
The Mitch McConnell joke was perfect! As a Kentuckian, I cannot stress how accurate that is. Thank you!!
"these tampon commercials are getting extreme" OMG that cracked me up.
But for real, fuck caves
I think it's one of the only movies that actually scared me. They portrayed the uneasiness feelings of the claustrophobic parts extremely well.
I'm terrorized of caves (and slightly claustrophobic) and I'm pretty sure this movie is the culprit haha.
Great review !!!
It makes absolute sense to me that this and Dog Soldiers were directed by the same person. This style of directing grabs my attention way more than most Hollywood blockbuster horrors can. He manages to take tropes and inject realism into them. A large part of that realism comes from the casting choices, which were excellent in both films. Really love that you covered this one, it deserves all the Bees it received
Totally agreed! I watched dog soldiers because I was so impressed with the descent. And I wasn’t disappointed. Actually, I was pretty surprised how funny dog soldiers was!
That Mitch McConnell "cameo" was pretty genius.
My old house only had a light switch at the bottom of the stairs...
Safe to say I've become adept at sprinting upstairs on all 4's in the pitch black.
When I die, I'll be the spirit you run from haha
Good luck!
Scary thought 😂
Damm bro you're 51? Holy shit you look and sound young as hell
He's 69420 in my book
Natalie Mendoza (Juno) is gorgeous! She killed the other girl by accident, but she was murdered.
When I'm having a bad day ... I watch your work & feel a bit better - pain or not !
You are so very appreciated !
And that you allow your cats to cushion icky stuff- Brilliant !
You deserve so many more subscribers! You have the best jokes that are always riding that edge of bad taste and hilarity, a perfect balance. :D
That should be Newbee’s Motto from now on: Riding the edge of bad taste and hilarity. Brilliant!
I saw the UK ending of this movie and it legit made me cry and so grateful to have my sons safe at home with me.
Yeah, how did the US distributors come up with such a shite ending? Ridiculous!
Yeah, same here. How did the US distributors come up with such a shite alternative ending? Ridiculous! The character not really making it out was what made this movie stand out to me.
Jafuni Exactly. But not the first or last movie to change the ending for Americans supposed need for a “happy” ending. I agree, it destroys the tone and intent of the film.
I can't tell u how proud i am that u pronounced Appalachia the way we hillbillies do! Thanks bro!
Oh OK now I get the joke!
This is legit one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. And that's even before the monsters show up.
I watched this movie about a week ago for the first time and was thinking about commenting on one of your videos asking if you could review it 🤣 great timing
It is a great movie and I’m always shocked by the ending.☠️
That rolling pin joke got me
Love this movie and your commentary!
Now now. Juno was in a high survive fight reflex. Beth snuck up on her right after a battle, Juno reacted. And with that hit to the throat, Juno probably assumed Beth woulda bleed out.
So she isnt a murder or heartless. Least not to my eyes. Did she lie? Yes. But she was scared and trying to protect her friends so they wouldnt freak more. Sarah on the other hand, openly left Juno to die.
Beth didn't sneak up on her. She ran towards her to help and shouted out to her.
Also, Juno IS heartless. She had an affair with Sarah's husband that went as far as her getting a pendant engraved with the husband's favorite catchphrase, abandoned Sarah when she was grieving the loss of her husband and daughter while suffering from PTSD and frequent night terrors, knowingly and deliberately led the group into an unmarked cavern so they'd all be dependent on her, killed Beth (it doesn't matter if it was an accident because she still killed her), and lied to everyone about how Beth died instead of just saying that she accidentaly killed Beth. Juno is a horrible person.
And who cares if Sarah left Juno to die? Juno fucked her husband and put the whole group in this situation just because she wanted to play the fearless leader role. None of this would've happened if Juno hadn't lead them into this unmarked cavern. Juno is responsible for the deaths of everyone else in the group. She deserved to die.
The rolling pin cracks me up EVERYTIME 😆 You must get so many concussions
I remember nothing before 1983
@@theNewBee who does anyway? Coke is great.
I actually liked the character Juno. She's flawed & had an affair with her friend's husband. Okay. But, the guy was up for it too. If anything, a guy who's in a relationship, still decides to cheat on his partner, is more to be blamed, than the side-chick. He's the one who's married & has a kid, not the other woman.
Despite the cheating factor, Juno is very decisive, can think quickly, fights like a boss & probably the best person to tag along with if I wanted to find a way out of the cave, alive.
She genuinely tried to help others, when no one else seemed to bother much.
And, Beth got killed bcz of her own stupidity. Instead of reaching someone from behind who's onto a God mode defensive fighting level, perhaps wait in the corner for the tension to die out or call her first?
And she knew about the affair, so why didn't she utter this out when everyone was alive?
These reviews are hysterically funny and sincere at the same time. I tip my cap, good Sir!
He's very funny with out being obnoxious. Rare on UA-cam.
I'd love to see your take on Stephen King's "Sleepwalkers". It's so terrible that it's art.
Hmmm. Maybe Chris Chan is a sleepwalker.
@@akumaswrath6663 eeeewwwwwwwv 🤮🤮🤮😂
Looking forward to watching this/ listening to this in the background dozens of times in the next few weeks
Yeah the one woman that was having an affair with her best friend's husband was unredeemable in every single way possible. So that crippling leg wound that she received was well-deserved.
I was pumped to see you were reviewing this movie! I was in London in 2005 when it came out and saw the super-bleak UK version in the theater the day it was released. I immediately loved it!
I freakin love your sense of humor!! So glad I found your channel man. Awesome content!!
Thanks for making these videos. 😎👊🏼
This movie made it hard for me to breath. The narrow spaces and closed caves were so much more terrifying to me than the creatures!
SAME! 😱 💀
I found out about you years and years ago, back when you reviewed stuff like The Human Centipede. I'm really happily surprised that you still regularly upload!! Keep doing what you love, my man!
This is a horror movie I am actually afraid of because of the claustrophobic aspect, but now I look and laugh at it and think of how dumb the girls were going down the cave. Thanks NewBee! Keep up the amazing and funny videos!
You think? In the Austrian alps, a hobby cave researcher fell into a hole and was searched for by over 500 volunteers for almost a week. It ended up being such an extensive search and rescue until they finally got the dude out that it cost tens of thousands of Euros and countless hours of manpower. Now THAT is dumb!
I love have loved your videos for so long. You are like one of the best movie review channel out there.
Whoa, great review of The Decent. I really like the movie when I first watched it. Your review so totally rock Bee Man.
When Sarah finally crawls out into the sunlight and open air after all that time spent confined in tight passages and total darkness, the colors changing from browns and blood red to cool blues and greens, and takes in that first gasp of fresh air after facing so much horror and gore, as an audience member you FEEL her enormous relief, can almost smell the pine trees, feel the cool air hit her face... And then BAM they slam you with the *real* ending where she's still stuck in the cave. The way the movie completely snuffs out that little glimmer of hope you felt for Sarah for just an instant is just so damn brutal and cruel. Yet as much as I wish she could have gotten the "good" ending, I still have to say I prefer the "bad" ending; it just works so much better than cutting to black after a cheap jump scare.
This is one of my favorite movies!! I have loved it since first seeing it back in 2006.
For some reason I thought you had done this review already! Thank you! I always look forward to your videos.
You are amazing man!!! Keep it up because you brighten my day to watch your videos.
I knew nothing about this movie when I bought it....didn't get to see the alternate ending.... I'm not sure which I prefer. Horror can be effective with a survivor at the end but, it really gets under your skin when everyone gets croaked!! Very Steven King, he kills everybody too....
Thanks for doing the lesser known movies!! It's hard to find reviews so I can show my friends what they're missing!
Please keep em coming!😊
One of my favorite movies 👍 I'm not easily scared but this movie frightened me when I first saw it and I loved it 😁
That Nestle crunch bit was FUNNY
This review was pretty cool. I liked the pillow fight and scissoring joke. Too funny. I remember this movie being awesome. We rented it from Blockbuster (sooo long ago!) and it was the UK version. I loved the strong, adventurous female characters. The monsters were super scary.
I saw part 2. I remember thinking it was garbage.
They are in Cave Florida i recognize those citizens.
I still have a vivid memory of seeing grisly in theaters with manhood friend who rock climbs all that kinda stuff and man she was so freaked out by the claustrophobia o didnt get it at the time but since then I get it now
bahahahahaha those clips and sounds you spliced in were brilliant. I especially liked the Arnold yell.
So that’s what that was? Which movie was this from? I cannot remember Arnold screaming ever, unless this is from the Predator?
@@jafuni9349 From Predator, yes.
Damn man, you look REALLY good for 51.
8:42 - 8:51 I laughed way to hard and rewatched more than too many times just to keep laughing. Ahh I fucking love this channel
My friend and I argued over whether Sara got out or not. Then we googled it and found out we were both right. I saw the US version and he saw the UK version. I like the UK version better. She’s been unfathomably traumatized, lost everyone she’s cared about, and is trapped alone in an underground hell. But she finds a fierce inner strength she didn’t know she had and comfort in the memory of her daughter.
The Descent is one of my favorites so I'm very glad to have your take on it!
I think if it was more of a Lord of the flies thing, where the people end up turning on each other, more of a psychological conflict instead
P.S I enjoyed all the minecraft references in this!
Yes for sure, I think without the monsters it would still be super scary. I see it as a descent into undiscussed personal conflicts that tear them apart, and a desecent into general madness and carnal instincts.
I had to look it up, but that “hiking the Appalachians” Sanford joke was A+ comedy
Don't know how I didn't come cross your review channel sooner but it well done.
Great, funny review of a great, depressing film. And dude, I didn't look half as good as you at 51 when I was 21!
Your review is really amazing, I love your way of delivering ❤😊
I watched the movie today, from Morocco 🇲🇦
The scissor joke followed by the rolling pin were perfect
I am so glad I found your channel, funniest commentaries on UA-cam.
60 seconds in and I’m laughing. I grabbed the remote ensuring I “hit the like button”.
I agree, the movie was well crafted and acted. Just curious, what would you have changed to make it 5 bees?
The monsters were a little cliché. More psychological aspect would have been great.
@@theNewBee That's totally fair.
I love your videos, never fail to make me laugh! Don’t believe you’re 51 though!!
Oh god I had forgotten about the Mark Sanford “Appalachian Trail” incident
I hated this film due to suffering from claustrophobia so I found this film nightmarish….! The U.K. ending was far better.
Between the spelunking and the sisters, I have to ask: is the "Take her, not me" a Magnus Archives reference?
You’re so wholesome man love your reviews
would you every consider reviewing clockwork orange? fantastic film, love your channel! have a great day!
..."These tampon commercials are getting extreme!"...😂
You have a great style. Love your commentary.
Also Gymkata is my all time favorite. MUST SEE!!
not the nestle crunch💀😭
Perfect use of the pee wee Herman clip. Love you even more now.
I like climbing but am terrified of caves. I always say we get to spend plenty of time underground, why rush things?
Absolutely love your content! You never fail to put a smile on my face.
I always wondered how the creatures survived if the only time they hunted is when people fall into this uncharted cave. We see no other animals or life or food the entire move... do they put the rocks back just to lef them crumble again hoping random explorers will come by?
Door Dash!
@@theNewBee hahaha!
i get so excited when you post a new video❤️
Yea! Thanks for the content! 10/10 as always!
I remember this movie. Didn't know about the uk ending tho. Pretty interesting.
"Should have took some body armor during this expedition, incase they run into people wielding knifes or gangs exchanging gunfire."
You the man Tom!!!! Always love your videos
I keep coming back to you for the reviews, I love your comments 🤣 dont really care for the movies
UK descent was great, running originally from the monsters, to stabbing them at the head, a realistic trope
Congrats on being 51 and looking like that 👍
This movie feels like another movie I watched that had a different ending, the girl who survives and gets out get thrown right back in by a old man they met in the beginning. But everything else feels and seems the same, might be me mixing 2 movies up or something.
I think it's the ending of the second movie (named the Descent 2 ).
Americans: "we hate gays"
Also americans: "pls no bad endings, they make us sad"
1:03 thank you 🙏
Nice riffs and review!
It genuinely upsets me that your channel isn't bigger. I watch a million horror movie breakdowns by many different creators and you're the only one who makes me crack up throughout. When I make an OF I'm going to make it a condition that people subscribe to you 😂❤ May wear my merch hoodie in pics unless you say otherwise lol
Your spring break joke omg lol
I couldnt find the Descent scary at all. I would NEVER go jump in a hole in the ground for fun or exploring. So it was impossible not to feel they all wanted to die and this was how they chose to do it! (As you said, people die spelunking or in caves all the time!) It wasnt scary at all once I realized that.
Stop joking your not 51... I'd guess about 30🙃
Erie sound "muhhhhh" minecraft zombie 😄😄😄 that was funny
YOUR 51??
dude. I guessed 33ish.
I loved this movie and I always love your videos.
Gotta love the UKs need for a depressing ending… I need to move to a different country
Just move to Appalachian mountains, USA.
Crazy I just watched this and part 2 this week. Part 2 is worse.
Dude this review is fantastic!! 😂💗❤💗😂
Love this movie, please do the second one too
Heck yes, been waiting for you to cover this movie (((:
I saw the UK version make more sense , I didn't like the jump scare
juno is THE worst friend ever. gets u trapped, sleeps with ur man, kills ur friend. she did not pass the vibe check.
You are 51?looking good man👍
One of my guilty pleasure movies haha
