Underrated! One Of Top Horror Movies Of ALL Time!

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2018)

The Descent hits every nail on the head in regards to how a horror movie should be made. And i mean everything.
I was so pleased to see that we have a modern horror film where the women are not hyper-sexual, clueless annoying airheads that you actually WANT to die. We actually got a back story on these womens' relationship at the beginning of the film. It allowed me as a viewer to actually connect with these women and care about them. Sarah and Juno are by far the stars of the film. and they are bad ass! It's so refreshing to see women in horror films making smart decisions and fighting back, that brings me joy
The overall atmosphere of the film was also very amazing. Tons of clausterphobic atmosphere's and overall creepy, eerie, uncomfortable settings that are instilled in the audience through great direction. There were many moments of the film i was clinching the arm rest or biting my nails while my eyes were glued to the screen. it was just overall a great, uncomfortable ride.
What's so great is we don't even see the creatures until maybe halfway through the film and the film does not suffer because of this. It beautifully shifts from an dangerous cave hunt where the characters battling with mother earth, to an apocalyptic, survival monster film. Its scary, its action packed, its emotional, its a film you don't want to miss!
