  KPBS Movie Reviews » Blog Archive » The Descent: Interview with Neil Marshall
NEIL MARSHALL: I wanted to make them as human as possible because applying human logic or human behavior to something as savage as these creatures makes them all the more terrifying because they?re operating on the same wavelength as you and you know how conniving humans are and it inherently becomes scary.
NEIL MARSHALL: This isn’t about six cavers being attacked by savage monsters, this is a film about a happy society of savage monsters being attacked by these girls because they kind of mete out as much terror and pain as the crawlers ever do.
NEIL MARSHALL: The main drive for me was exploring what the characters were capable of in order to survive and their regression and descent into savagery, and they become primal.

 Neil Marshall - Biography - Moviefone
Marshall insisted on editing the picture himself, and thus shot "for the edit," à la Bogdanovich, often cutting in mid-take.
It began with Marshall's notion of a spelunking expedition that descends into carnality and madness when the explorers are confronted with an otherworldly terror (beings known as "the Crawlers"), and Marshall's associate's concept of enlisting an all-female cast as his protagonists and victims topped it off.
Marshall followed up The Descent with plans to do several projects, notably the action thriller Doomsday, set at some point in the future; Eagle's Nest, a World War II action picture; and The Sword and the Fury, a caper picture set in medieval times.

  Our Little Premature Angel
Neil was not with me at the time, so with the second-hand telling caused very little real concern on his part.
Neil also liked the idea, but because I had never had a baby he thought we should have our first in the hospital and our future children at home.
Neil was left behind in the waiting room as the nurse ushered me in to see the doctor.

 Neil Marshall | Interviews | SCI FI Weekly
Marshall: It's not the same story or any of the same characters, but in that one it was six guys overcoming an obstacle, and now it's six women.
Marshall: We had the time to put on a different ending because we were delaying the release of the movie here because The Cave was coming out at the same time.
Marshall: I wasn't sure what their reactions would be, whether they would really come across as frightening, so I waited until we were filming before I even showed it to them.

 Exclusive: The Descent's Neil Marshall - ComingSoon.net
Marshall: Critically, it was incredibly well-received, and it would have done a lot better had it not come out the day after the terrorist bombings on the Underground.
Marshall: When I first conceived the idea of a team going into a cave, it was going to be a mixed group and then a friend of mine, really off-handedly suggested, "Why not make it all women?" and something clicked there.
Marshall: The films that inspired this were "Deliverance," "The Shining," "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "Alien," and "The Thing." Really those were the major ones I grew up with [and] still kind of haunt me to this day.

 Film-makers on film: Neil Marshall | Film Maker On Film | Film | Arts | Telegraph
Similarly, Marshall's current project Doomsday (which he has just started writing) imagines a Britain in which Scotland is crippled by plague and walled off from England - much like Carpenter's 1982 image of New York, which by 1997 (when the film is set) has been turned into an entirely self-contained maximum security prison.
Marshall's first experience of the film was typical of many budding young buffs who grew up in the early '80s, a generation still wide-eyed at the very invention of the video recorder, and thrilled beyond belief at being suddenly able to watch "grown-up" films.
What Marshall and pal wouldn't have realised at the time was that Escape from New York was not a complete fantasy, but a brilliant exaggeration of lawless, pre-Giuliani Manhattan - as David Thomson says, in his Biographical Dictionary, "a complete vision of New York's dread of where it was going".

Neil Marshall and his cinematographer, Sam McCurdy, really play with the senses and fears of not just the audience but of the characters trapped in the dark with only a dwindling supply of glowsticks and batteries for their flashlights.
Marshall's decision to let the claustrophobia and disorienting darkness hint more than show in the early stages of their fight against the Crawlers was pivotal one since it kept the monstrous visage of the creatures from becoming overly familiar too soon.
Marshall doesn't go overboard with the gore, but he does shoot and choreograph the violence in an almost lyrical fashion.

Mercifully Marshall has bucked the current trend for infusing pulp with political significance (in The Time Machine the Morlocks were an unsubtle metaphor for the oppressed working classes of Victorian Britain).
Marshall has taken something he loves and put his own spin on it to come up with a film that feels fresh, or at least as fresh as any film can be that revels in jugular-ripping gore.
Marshall wants us to care about his characters, but his attempts to develop the women's personalities and explore their group dynamic exposes his weaknesses as a writer.

Marshall, 35, of Whickham, might even see some of the profits this time, when The Descent goes on release across 300-plus cinemas in the UK from next Friday.
Marshall deliberately kept the crawlers away from the six actresses until they encountered one in the script.
Marshall was worried she'd be scarred for life after coming across a crawler, but she didn't bat an eyelid.

 Kevin McKidd interview - Kevin McKidd on Dog Soldiers
McKidd was dubious about a script that arrived unsolicited at the stage door of the theatre where he was appearing, a script for a low-budget horror movie that was without a star two weeks before it was due to start shooting...
Marshall may have always seen McKidd as Cooper, the level-headed private who pulls the troop together when things go bump in the night and body parts detach from bodies; McKidd was less certain.
Within 15 minutes of speaking to Neil, I just realised that the guy is on a mission - he knows what he’s doing, he’s got a very clear idea of what film he wants to make, and he wants me to play the lead...
