SSC 61: The Descent (Marshall, 2005)

Tim & Tay get to talk horror once again in this discussion of Neil Marshall's The Descent. We explore this movie's legacy in a genre that has somewhat forgot it, wise filmmaking on a lower budget, and much more.  

Synopsis
A day of spelunking turns into a nightmare after a group of friends gets trapped underground and pursued by terrifying predators.

Starring Shauna Macdonald and Natalie Mendoza, and directed by Neil Marshall, The Descent was released July 8, 2005.
