The Descent (2005)

🚗🕳️🧗‍♀️🔦🪨🧌🩸🩸😐 A movie that I avoided because I thought it would be too dern gruesome for me when I first saw trailers for it. It’s not as scary as I thought (not after playing The Forest, at least), but after a certain point it turns into an underground version of a World War I movie with unrelenting hand-to-hand fighting for survival in muddy trenches during rain storms, with Alien and Predator mixed in, and there’s a lot of screaming, and it’s a strangely similar vibe to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, except with a lot more blood and mud and glistening slime and Carrie-inspired costumes. Luckily it’s too dark to see much, but unluckily you can’t tell which character is which, either. In the end it was exhausting and less satisfying than most war movies, even with Max’s “happy” American ending. (Max.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Descent
