This week, we descend into the shadows to unpack the 2005 horror classic The Descent. We explore its unique reception history - including how real-life events shaped its release - and dive deep into themes of grief, trauma, friendship, and betrayal. We discuss the film’s all-female cast, claustrophobic atmosphere, groundbreaking special effects, and why it stands out in horror history.
