Creepy and claustrophobic. A excellent character driven horror film.

Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2016)

The descent is a film that manages to catch that Claustrophobic feeling perfectly. The dark of the cave is as much a character as any of the cast that grows more threatening as things go from bad to worse. The hints of shadows moving in the background grows more and more apparent until it can't be ignored. It also has some of the best female characters in horror. Each is well defined and dodges the typical clichés of a female character. it's quite refreshing. The biggest downfall of this film is that they changed the ending post release in almost all major publications including Netflix to tie things up in a better way for the awful sequel. Try to find the original ending if you want to watch this film, it is far superior to the alternate cut.
