The Descent

After at least a fourth viewing I can say this is one of my favourite and most nostalgic horrors ever. The sense that something’s off increases effectively and claustrophobically until it goes into gory, tense fun; Brilliant last half an hour after making you care for characters and understand dynamics. Some beautiful shots in there, (the climbing of the slope into the light stands out) memorable and intense jump scares and an uneasy score that sets the tone throughout. This will always be a bit of history for me, for how much my dad and sister love it; and the time in year 7 I watched it with a couple mates camping and they hid under the duvet - we followed it up with The Croods then hit the hay. Brilliantly done, 10/10
