Merkin MuffleyMar 23, 2018when people tell me a movie is scary, I 100% of the time assume they’re idiots who have seen 3 movies in their entire life i should’ve listened to those idiots when it came to this one. my skin has crawled off of my body and descended into another realm.

liked ut BUT OMG SARAH MADE ME SO MAD AT THE END #jounogirlboss
Morgan lovedThe Descentso freaking good, it was absolutely terrifying, the jumpscares were so well done and they got me, just the premise alone is scary but adding those horrifying creatures into the mix makes it even worse… i liked the group of friends too except for juno, all my homies hate juno
soup lovedThe DescentVery good movie although I prefer the UK ending over the US. This is a horror movie that I’d rewatch

I’ll agree with my bud @possessedbyhorror2.0, this movie had me in the most uncomfortable position. If you don’t know whether or not you’re claustrophobic, watch this movie and you will find out. But the fact that it could do that makes it crazy good.
Charlotte is "meh" onThe DescentThe acting is average, & while the cinematography begins strong, it later muddles the characters. Cringeworthy moments & disjointed scenes detract from the film, with monsters being fast killers but slow against the heroine. Two women unrealistically defeat many monsters. It gets a "meh" because…
Troy D likedThe DescentThis kept me on the edge of my seat the entire movie! Not to mention they had the most badass women in this film. Shame the ending was a non ending, not even sure if she escaped or not.

Kenzie Whiting lovedThe Descenti absolutely loved watching this, it was nice to have a movie where there were only women & still have this feeling of female empowerment. I think the eeriness & tone in the movie are a perfect combination to make the viewer also feel as though they’re trapped in this cave system
Dark Sun lovedThe DescentA simple yet terrifying plot executed to near perfection. The fact that the monster isn’t revealed til over halfway through the movie, yet I was on edge the whole time is a telltale sign of master filmmaking.
gom lovedThe DescentThis is my go to movie that I play for the noobie or even average horror movie enjoyers. Wish I could forget about this movie just so I could experience the terror all over again. 10/10 would recommend.

Brutal, bloody, terrifying, astonishing... And so tense it'll leave you aching. The most significant Brit chiller since 28 Days Later.

The chills and spills keep comin' to agreeable effect in Brit-made scarefest The Descent.
