Editorial Review:
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?
Descent (Edited 'R' Version) Reviews:
POWERFUL! 
2009-11-25 - How could anyone not like this? This is the ultimate revenge movie. Women are raped everyday in this country and most of these rapes go unpunished. Rosario Dawson actually gets justice in this movie. I've never seen anything like it. It's extremely graphic to say the least. She actually rapes the guy who raped her. An eye for an eye, thats what i live by. This movie shows how damaged a rape can leave someone. Even after Rosario gets revenge, you see how truly hurt and broken she is. I actually saw this about 2 years ago and it has stayed with me every since. It's a powerful film. The only reason i did not give it 5 stars was because it's a little to long. And there's this period after she was raped that seems to drag on way to long. However, This is still a wonderful film that i hope many people will take the time to watch. I didn't no Rosario had this in her. She's now one of my favorites. -This movie is definately A MUST SEE!
reconmended 
2009-09-30 - A gritty story of male and female rape and revenge. It is a dark story and can leave the viewer with questions was it worth the revenge. This film is handle quite well considering the subject matter and can be a bit daugnting but i think it was acted and directed well. There are two versions this NC17 is the uncut , uncompromising version with explicit language and nudity plus the female and male rape are directed very well without being too shocking. Get this for your collection.
Trashy and boring but . . . 
2009-09-22 - Every boy in college should be made to watch this to the end! The ending will stay with them forever. I know it will me!
You Have To See It To Believe It!
2009-07-17 - This movie left me speechless! I was in a state of awe,I don't know if what I saw was wrong or right. But this movie will be one of the most memorable movies you'll ever see. It's not for the immature or weak minded,so if you like National Lampoon type stuff stay away from this movie because you probably wont have the attention span to finish it. People are so sleep on Rosario,she's amazing.
Ascent in Descent?
2009-03-23 - This emotionally challenging portrait is brave on every level - a furious essay, written with depth and compassion in oil-black splatters of ink.
