Our take

Plenty of films have been described as among the scariest ever made, but few can back up such claims quite like Neil Marshall’s cave-bound survival horror. Featuring an all-woman cast and with careful attention paid to its group dynamics, The Descent is a relentless, adrenalised rush of pure terror.
