#59: THE DESCENT (2005) WITH TIM DRY

About this episode

Host Andrew Graves and guest Tim Dry discuss the psychological and visceral elements of the horror film THE DESCENT.

On this episode, host Andrew Graves and guest Tim Dry (XTRO, RETURN OF THE JEDI) discuss Neil Marshall’s grim subterranean horror flick THE DESCENT (2005). With its visceral scares and more psychological aspects, this British cult classic doesn’t just take us physically into the depths of the Earth, it also reaches into our subconscious, peeling away the surface to reveal our deeper human fears.
