On the nineteenth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister joins me in reviewing THE DESCENT (2005), written and directed by Neil Marshall. A year after losing her husband and daughter in a car accident, a grieving woman named Sarah joins five female friends for a caving expedition in the Appalachian Mountains. Their trip quickly turns into a nightmare when a tunnel collapses, trapping them in an unmapped cave system where they realize they are not alone. As they struggle to find an exit, the group is hunted by pale, carnivorous, humanoid creatures called "crawlers," forcing them to fight for survival against both the monsters and their own internal betrayals. The film clocks in at 1 h and 39 m, is rated R and we caught the film on the Hoopla app (support your local library!) but you can also find it on Moviesphere by Lionsgate, Fawesome, Roku Channel, Prime Video, Tubi and to buy/rent on Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
