British horror movies continue to impress!

Rating: 9/10 (16 September 2005)

Do NOT underestimate this low budget British horror flick. Just to outline the story; a group of female friends decide to go caving in the highlands of Scotland. Obviously not all goes to plan and the group end up being hunted by an unusual breed of predator.
If you're claustrophobic or just the slightest you will struggle from the start with this movie. The dark settings and cinematography are astounding and the relatively unknown cast really do impress. My nerves were shot to pieces during certain scenes and the scare factor is really on par here. I've seen enough horror movies in my time to know that this one hits the nail on the head.
The Descent is definitely one of the scariest films I've seen in years, definitely matching 28 days later and far better than Dog Soldiers. If you fancy a different kind of scare, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy, if you can.
