unlabelledView post →I have two - at final battle of Uwe Boll’s Bloodrayne someone yawned really loud. Everyone laughed The Descent at a theater pub. My friends didn’t realize the balcony was under-21, so all high schoolers. At every jump scare the ENTIRE balcony shook! It was more fun than watching the movie!
unlabelledView post →Every time I rewatch The Descent (2005) I’m always so taken aback by how fucked up the situation is. Not only set in a claustrophobic cave but being lost and surrounded by fucking monsters… they were up against so much. Great movie. #horror #filmsky
unlabelledView post →Watching THE DESCENT and it's amazing that a movie set in a lightless cave is still better lit than movies today that are set in rooms that supposedly have the lights on.

unlabelledView post →Have you been looking for a movie that combines the evolutionary theories of The Descent with the interpersonal dynamics of The Lighthouse--but with more monster fucking and anti-imperialism commentary? If so, it's asuper weird you've been looking for that, but, boy, have I got the movie for you!
unlabelledView post →Doomsday is a movie directed by the guy who did The Descent and it starts off as Escape from New York and then the hero crawls out of a hole and is in medieval times and Malcolm McDowell yells “GET THE CATAPULTS!” and none of it seems to have anything to do with the movie beforehand
unlabelledView post →I was thinking about the “scariest” horror films I’ve seen. Not necessarily my favourites or anything, just films that genuinely SCARED me. I could only come up with one film that scares the hell out of me no matter how many times I see it: The Descent. #HorrorSky
unlabelledView post →The Descent remains one of my favorite horror movies and hasn’t lost a bit of its power after 20 years. My latest for @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching The Descent (2005 Neil Marshall) At one point I would have described this as my favourite horror film of all time. Certainly my favourite cinema horror experience, me and my girlfriend at the time were practically traumatised. Long time since I've seen it though!
unlabelledView post →Tonight's movie is Doomsday (08). Yeah, I bet you haven't thought about that film in a while Malcolm McDowell. Bob Hoskins. What else do you need? Directed by Neil Marshall. You know, Dog Soldiers. The Descent (come on, that alone is worth your time) Not convinced. Look at the cool poster then
unlabelledView post →Which movie has the bleakest ending? IMO… The original UK ending of “The Descent” is up there 🖤
unlabelledView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #23 "The Descent" (Neil Marshall/2005) Certainly a contender for one of the top horror films of the 21st century. This one is a fucking belter. I highly recommend checking it out!

unlabelledView post →Revisiting “The Descent” in 4K at @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social. Shoutout to @ohdeerdiner.bsky.social for pointing out that despite being set in dark caves, the film is still lit beautifully and strongly without ever being overlit. A gorgeous restoration of a stunning (and gnarly) horror classic.
unlabelledView post →Pretty confident I would have survived the movie The Descent because if you're asking me to explore a cave system while hangover, my white ass is staying in bed
unlabelledView post →I remember reading a review about THE DESCENT where the critic posed the question if the film could be considered feminist (lots of critics were saying it was…I disagree especially the ending Christ lol) if it was just women being brutalized and I think about that review often lol
unlabelledView post →going on a weekend trip this summer with friends from grad school and my proposal "let's go explore some caves in appalachia like in the movie The Descent" was sadly, and very quickly, rejected 😔

unlabelledView post →i was posting about trauma in horror movies and i said "The Descent" (2006) wasn't about trauma it was about monsters in a cave. now re-watching it and realizing the movie literally starts with one of the characters going through a MASSIVE trauma before they even reach the cave. 🤦♀️
unlabelledView post →The Descent is one of the saddest movies I've ever seen, even more so because the recurring phrase that haunts the movie is "love each day"
unlabelledView post →Deadloch and The Descent also immediately come to mind. And pretty much every Scandinavian film, for some reason. I have never seen bodies on shows look less sexy than in a lot of Scandinavian films 😆. Bless.

unlabelledView post →The Descent came out earlier this month 20 years ago. It might be the scariest movie I’ve ever seen. I remember showing it to friends back in high school and they all shat themselves, too. What fun.
unlabelledView post →…the moment when you ask your fresh-faced, polite, helpful young guide on a cave tour if he has seen a movie called “The Descent”….
unlabelledView post →watched half of THE DESCENT: PART 2 last night and DNF'd it. i cannot think of a less essential horror movie. the subtitle could have just been THE DESCENT: PART 2, I GUESS
unlabelledView post →Watched The Descent with my brother. And wow that was such a wild anxiety inducing movie. I loved it! Caves are SCARY haha. Can definitely see how House of Ashes is inspired from this movie. And also this poster is epic

unlabelledView post →I’m watching the movie “The Descent”. It’s a horror movie about subterranean caves. It’s pretty claustrophobic. Probably best to stick to exploring large, wide open caves.
