Neil Marshall is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. He is a horror / action director with four feature length movies under his belt, and I enjoyed three of them. (I haven't seen the one released in '10, but it looks stupid. Of course, so do the other three, so I will probably check it out.)
These are not the kinds of movies you want to think too logically about. For example, in The Descent a group of friends (all female) descends into a cave that one member of the group asserts is virgin territory - never before explored. That cave happens to be inhabited by a mutant race of men that have evolved to live underground, rising to the surface only to get humans upon which to feed. This is classic stuff. The women do not always behave as a team, which is a nice treat, plus these gals kick ass. And the ending kicks ass.
If you like this one, try Dog Soldiers (2002) - werewolves!; and Doomsday (2008) - Bob Hoskins is in this one. It's largely a Road Warrier ripoff, but Rhona Mitra is the heroine, and she kicks some ass too!
