Taylor The Descent scares from the first to last scene. Claustrophobic and nauseating in the best way. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/25 Full Review Michael D This film is hands-down one of the best horror films in recent memory. The scares come from a deeper place than a few well-timed jumps and shocks. The horror builds from an emotional core as the setting grows more and more claustrophobic and dark, leaning in to the age-old adage that what you don't see is often way more frightening than what you do see. We saw this with our daughter, and she gripped my arm from start to finish. Even after rewatching a few times, the film holds up. It's one of my all-time favorites. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/25 Full Review Camilla H Loved it when it came out, and re-watched recently. This is still a really good horror movie where tension builds slowly, and there is some character development. Refreshing to have an all-female group of friends cast, all of them strong and capable. It's about group dynamics, but also interpersonal dynamics and about betrayal. The settings, exploring a cave system, is really effective. The monsters felt a bit cliché, but the suspense is great. Be sure to watch the UK version. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/05/25 Full Review James O The Descent falls into a long line of horrors preying on the visceral fears of audiences, cleverly bringing these terrors to the surface in a film that is at times hard to watch and experience. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Kyle K. Well done. Intense from start to finish. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Mike V Scream your last breath. The Descent is a 2005 British horror film written and directed by Neil Marshall 📿 Not bad, but not my favourite either 😐 Meh, it passed the time. Just. 😐 👍🏼👎🏼 After a personal tragedy, Sarah joins her friends on a caving expedition in the Appalachian Mountains. But when a rockfall traps them deep underground, their adventure turns into a nightmare. As they search for a way out, the group discovers they are not alone—lurking in the darkness are savage, cave-dwelling creatures. With rising tension and dwindling trust, the women must fight to survive against both the predators and each other.
