Day 11 of 31 Days of Halloween
I slacked off a bit because I had library books to finish. Read The Queen of Attolia and it is really good. Need to read its predecessor and then it's sequel.
Today's movie! The Descent.
This movie, which actually came out about three years ago, isn't your typical horror film we've been used to these days.
It's dark (literally), claustrophobic (literally), and bloody (literally) fucking creepy. And I mean genuinely 'this shit will give you nightmares and make you NEVER EVER want to explore caves EVER' sort of creepy.
It doesn't rely on overblown special effects or easily predictable slasher-style setups.
When I first heard about it when it was coming out, I heard people regarding it very highly, calling it one of the best horrors in a long time.
Okay, that sparked my interest as a horror movie fan who had been rather disappointed by the genre for most of this decade.
And honestly I felt and still feel it lives up to the hype.
I haven't seen the sequel yet. I'm sort of..hesitant because the original really is perfect as a stand-alone.
