For much of its 99 minutes The Descent comprised entirely of undomesticated surfaces, dusty, precarious rocks or wet, gravelly soil. There is no natural light. The six women who enter this place (on an annual adventure) are belaying down, across, and within these surfaces—you become increasingly knowledgeable of your own comforts while watching this film, as well as your vulnerability if you’re watching it alone in a potentially creature-filled night.
