The Descent

Hello peoples. Today I'm doing a blog on another horror movie. Here it goes.

This blog is on a movie called The Descent. It starts off with the main characters husband and daughter dying in a horrible car crash. A year later her and her friends are gathered together in the Appalachian mountains to go spelunking. They are supposed to be in an explored cave system but Juno, the girl who planned the trip has them go in an unexplored cave system. Before long panic sets in as the caves get more and more dangerous and they have the feeling they are being watched...

The monster in this movie does not appear until halfway through the movie and the movie is still really scary before that. Caves are kind of like space. It's the unknown that scares us. Just as there could be anything out there, there could be anything down below us and that scares the human race's pants off.

There are also many ways to die in either setting and something scares us about being miles underground. Imagine being trapped under a rock. Alone, with no light, miles underground where you were starving slowly. That's pretty terrifying. The ending of the movie is very odd and there are many ways to interpret it but I liked the movie a lot.

Bye.
