"Hey, there's something down here..."

British writer-director Neil Marshall made a splash in 2002 with the cult favourite Dog Soldiers. With his follow-up feature, The Descent, Marshall has raised his game several notches and proved he is among the best horror filmmakers in the business. Benefitting from truly remarkable cinematography, several iconic images, and a level of believab... read more

This has become one of my all time favourites. There has been a few caving horrors out in 2005-2006 and I've seen a couple of them. This one is the best of them by far.

I'm not easily scared by movies but this one truly gave me the creeps. It had me glued to it the whole way through and was intense from start to finish. It doesn't have a boring a moment.

Filmes de terror são alvos de preconceito porque a maioria das produções do gênero são ruins. Isso, por incrível que pareça, tem um lado bom. Quando vemos algumas exceções nós adoramos. O que acontece com "Abismo do Medo".

Do inglês Neil Marshall, "Abismo do Medo" mostra um grupo de amigas que decide viajar para explorar uma caverna no meio dos EUA. E como um bom módulo ... read more

A pleasure caving trip turns frightful in this horror film written and directed by Neil Marshall. Six girlfriends, led by thrill seeker Juno (Natalie Mendoza), go spelunking a year after a tragic incident. But when they get trapped under the earth, all rationale escapes them as they start to suffer from limited oxygen and delusions -- or are they? Now, the friends must find a way to escape the cave and the murky creatures that lie within it.

"Plot: Two women, one struggling to overcome grief and the other guilt, join their friends on a spelunking adventure that not only makes them face horrors below the surface but also themselves. From its gut-wrenching setup, to the unspoken interpersonal tension, to the anxiety inducing claustrophobic environments, and to the visceral terror deep below, the film never once lets up its vicious bite as it barrels toward its bleak ending. Effective in its simplicity, bearing a fantastic cast with g"

" I really don't understand why this garbage movie has so many positive reviews. Like I just don't. The story is that some ugly and annoying female friends reunite to go spelunking inside a remote Appalachian cave because they are like, so quirky that for them a weekend with the girls is going into dark, creepy caves thousands of miles under the earth! Girl power uWu tomboyz! Oh and there's a horrible twist: muh man eating CGI aliens are in the cave oh noo. Now all the irritating protagonist"
