The Descent (2005)
Dir: Neil Marshall

Six friends are pursued by bloodthirsty creatures whilst on a caving expedition.
Thrilling horror film from director Neil Marshall. The set-up and execution are brilliant, the claustrophobic location making the film unbearably tense. While the acting is solid and the make-up effects impressive, the film's best achievement is that it's genuinely terrifying. One of the best horror films of recent times.
