- PhysicalMedia4LifeMay 3, 2026The Descent - is one of the all time greatest 🇬🇧 British horror movies and is personally one of my favourites also!!! What I really loved about The Descent is that it really plays and leans into that fear of small spaces and chlostraphobia very effectively. And what makes it even more frightening & impactful is the fact that there in total darkness. And on top of that they've got these Gollum like creatures that live down there, that are ready to rip apart the group of friends that are stuck down there...imagine this your in very tight spaces with the chances of the cave; that your stuck in collapsing onto you and crushing & killing you. Also your in total darkness and you've got vicious cannibal creatures that want to eat and kill you; it cannot possibly get more worse than that omg. And at the heart of it there's a very tragic story; for one of the characters and has a friend that hasn't done a very nice thing to her.
