The Descent
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.
This is a survival horror film where fear, dread, and the monstrous threats define the core experience; the underground, claustrophobic setting and the creatures are essential to identity, not just incidental elements.
Best for viewers looking for a scary, high-tension, atmosphere-heavy and slow-burning horror movie.
