17: The Descent (2005)

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. Plus, we share our personal reactions, debate the ending, and premiere original songs inspired by the film, including Long Way Down and The Lowest. Join us for an analytical, creative journey through one of the most terrifying and thought-provoking horror movies of the 2000s.
