is a masterpiece, a let down was inevitable.
My wife, btw, differs with your opinion: she likes the idea of vulnerability in monsters.
I'm sure you realize that, to follow the storyline, these particular "jellyfish" had to be mortal.
I don't know about "easily killed:" they seemed to take your average horror films' fatal abuse. The girl with that pick in the throat, however... I wonder how she had built up so much scar tissue.

I like vulnerability in monsters too! As in ...let's say Frankenstein ? But that takes some character development and a complete different arena then Descent. The monsters in Descent were vulnerable to allow for gratuitous violence.

  Also, the girls were buff athletes but the monsters were cave-dwelling, Vitamin D starved scavengers.
