#RecomendaciónPurga: The Descent
THE DESCENT (England, Neil Marshall, 2005)
The Descent became an instant classic of horror cinema thanks to its masterful handling of atmosphere, tension, and evil, in a story where five friends descend into a cave where they must fight terrifying creatures lurking at every step. The exploration of an eternal, hidden, and secret femininity runs through it all, hand in hand with the fight for survival against those ravenous creatures and each woman's own inner demons. With this film, Neil Marshall established himself as one of the most interesting directors in contemporary genre cinema.
Essential for lovers of suspense and the monstrousness lurking in the bowels of the earth.
