The Descent (2005): Halloween

October 23, 2018

This movie is FANTASTIC. I could watch it every day and not get sick of it. The film follows a group of female friends who enjoy spelunking (cave exploration). They are reuniting a year after one of the women lost her daughter and husband in a car accident. As they explore the caves, they begin to realize that they are not alone and the begin to be stalked and attacked by subterranean creatures. Their friendships are tested and they begin to deal with tensions and issues between themselves. The creatures in this film are so creepy, and the whole idea of being trapped underground where help can't get to you is terrifying enough. The whole film has an urgent, claustrophobic feel that will raise your blood pressure and scare your pants off. I definitely recommend watching this film for a unique halloween scare.
