Well, there's not much chance of cave explorers running into a gaggle of forgotten cannibalistic humanoids, either, but The Descent certainly made an impact on me. *shiver*

It worked; Hud being there for Rob and Rob being able to set aside the logic of fleeing because he wanted it to work with Beth so much. JJ Abrams really made that work, too. The way Rob, Hud and Lily had to cross the collapsing buildings was completely intense, and then immediately after they actually found Beth. It was this perfectly intense and beautiful moment. That was a big part of why it worked so well.
