In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to keep our flashlights charged and try not to make a sound as we review the 2005 film “The Descent”…
Director Neil Marshall came away from making his iconic werewolf flick “Dog Soldiers” feeling like he didn’t actually produce a particularly scary movie. Instead, he saw the film as more of a black comedy so he wanted to make something completely different and totally terrifying.
Marshall had always been fascinated with the idea of setting a film in a cave and his script actually started with a central focus on a single character dealing with the tragic loss of her family and an eventual descent into madness with the film titled “The Dark.”
He began fleshing out a more fully realized idea and decided to build his film around an all-female cast, which was a rarity in horror, and he drew inspiration from films like “Deliverance,” “The Shining” and “The Thing” when putting the finishing touches on his screenplay about a group of friends exploring a cave and the unknown dangers that are lurking around every corner.
