The Descent. 2005.
The Descent offers an excellent atmosphere and very creative moments. The opening shows a shocking event that becomes a minor plot device. The entire first half is a better adventure film than a horror one, the team's first enemy is the landscape. Writer/Director Neil Marshall has an impressive style, especially for some amazingly lighted claustrophobic scenes. Once in the caves and nowhere to go offers one of the best jump scenes that moves the film from adventure to horror.

Directed/co-written by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell, the men who brought us the successful "Saw" series, are also behind this splendidly spooky horror film. Originality is a hard thing to find in the horror genre these days, but this film manages to sluff off most of the typical horror set-ups and create an interesting and compelling story. This is quite a turn around from the "Saw" franchise, which, while it is a good series, has become more of a gore fest than anything. On the other hand, "Dead Silence" is a supernatural horror film with a very well written story. Character development is strong, and the acting helps that out as well, which is always a plus. Ryan Kwanten, an Australian actor, plays the lead role and is very believable. Donnie WWahlberg play the sceptical detective on the trail of a murderer.This is certainly a underrated movie
