Great little B-movie horror with Naomi Watts stealing the show.
If you paid to see this flick, I think it's fair to say you got the shaft.
Audience Reviews for Down (The Shaft)
Super Reviewer
This film is a complete insult from beginning to end. Everything from the ridiculous premis, bad writing, sub-par acting to the use of every cheesy character profile and trite plot "twist" ever seen on film..is a little insulting.
Naomi Watts and Ron Perlman should thank their lucky stars that this didn't end up being the "career breaker" that it should have been.
I almost want people to see it so they will know JUST how bad it really is! I guess it's human nature? Kind of like when you taste something bad and say to your friend "OH!....taste this...it's horrible!
