Top 10 films of the decade: #7
#7. The Descent
(Neil Marshall, 2005)
Quite simply, a magnificent horror film, and one which proves that there remain few things more effective than placing a group of characters in a terrifying situation and seeing how they react. It's a horror film that is not ashamed to be one, but which at the same time avoids the pitfalls commonly associated with the genre. In short, a must-see.

Indeed one of the best films of the decade and maybe the best horror film of the decade. I saw this at the cinema and was pleased to once again see a very effective horror film with a "classic" approach, without teenage humour or ironic winks (and no so-called torture porn either).
