Review of The Descent (2005) by Spangle — 17 Nov 2015
The Descent is an expertly crafted horror film. Directed by Neil Marshall, the film is not only claustrophobic and incredibly uncomfortable. The performances are all very good, the score is solid, and the set design is great, but above all, it is entirely unsettling.
Multiple times I was freaking out and scared out of my mind, which is a great thing for a horror film. The creature design was great and the whole story behind it was very compelling. For a film as contained as this one, the tension was always incredibly high and was very well put together.
We are really inserted into the mind of the characters and that ups the terror even more. On every front, The Descent knocks it out of the park and is a really entertaining and fun film to watch.
