Director - Neil Marshall
Starring - Shauna Macdonald, Natalie Jackson Mendoza, Alex Reid, Saskia Mulder

The Descent is a fresh and scary horror film about an all female caving expedition which goes horribly wrong. Written and directed by Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers) this is the perfect antidote to slick Hollywood "horrors" which completely fail to frighten the audience. The Descent can hardly fail to scare you on some level; there is psychological terror, jumpy scares aplenty and an awful lot of disturbing gore. This film is definitely deserving of the horror tag. A good strong plot which is deceptively simple, quality direction, some great acting and the ability to pack a serious punch in the fear stakes make this one to watch.
