The Descent Ratings & Reviews
- Ty Leet6 dgn geledenI will not be going in any caves, thank you.
- DJ28 oktober 2024A “modern” classic. The Descent is horror perfection. It’s claustrophobic, it’s scary, you feel for the actresses and they do a great job immersing you in the experience. Director Neil Marshall did amazing work with this film.
- siluskitt1853 april 2026Couldn't have been better, yes blood looked fake, but none of that matters when the story line is so god damn good, I personally think this is my favorite horror movie I've EVER watched, of you have ever played the video game called the Forest, it reminds me of this, I feel like if this was made around this time, it wouldn't have been nearly as good
- ghost0ne16 mei 2025Maybe... don't go into a cave that isn't on any maps. Just a thought.

- godzilladad20 januari 2026Love this series! Wish they would of made a third installment, but part 2 ends great
- Christopher Park11 november 2024This probably teh very bestr creature feature, and actually one of the best horror movies of all time! What a ride! And these characters?! I just love it!
- Seamys-World26 december 2025Pretty good movie. The claustrophobia probably gave me more fear at the beginning than the latter part although the end was a sneaky bit of stuff. Generally not a big horror fan anymore due to the lack of originality, but this was OK.
- Jehanzeb Raees19 december 2024My all-time favourite
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ26 december 2025Focusing on the fear of claustrophobia with the simple dread of the unknown, The Descent puts likable characters in frightening situations. As a horror fanatic, this film floats at the top of my list of best scary films.
- LeeRae Schmerfeld19 december 2025Awesome movie, great effects, and illusions. Makes me feel like I'm down in the caves myself .!!
- M08Y26 november 2025The Descent is a solid little horror flick that does some serious heavy-lifting with a tiny budget. While not being quite as claustrophobic as some of the caving horror stories on YouTube, The Descent does a remarkable job of making every single scene feel enclosed and desperate. The cave in scene is incredibly uncomfortable to watch. I really appreciated the slow build up to the introduction of the creatures and how all of the characters come across as sensible and level-headed. Low budget horror movies usually resort to characters being horrendously stupid to make certain plot points work but it's much better when they keep their wits about them and stuff still goes wrong. The cast all being their A game here. Audio and Visuals. The audio is fine all the way through, nothing particularly interesting to note. The visuals are however more interesting. Taking places underground, the lighting is REALLY important to get right and 90% of the time, this film gets it very right. There are however a few scenes where the lighting is impossibly good for a single glow stick. I'm willing to put this aside given the tiny budget and challenging conditions of the filming. The bluray isnt the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm keen to get my hands on the 4K to see if it's much better, but £60 is a tough pill to swallow.
