In reply to LEGOates. I hadn't thought about it in years, but I used to love riding around in the trunks of family and friend's cars! I don't get claustrophobic myself, but I do panic if I start to actually get stuck, where my arms are pinned down for example.

I'd never been the least claustrophobic prior to seeing this, In fact, years ago I used to win bets by allowing a couple of friends who were claustrophobic to lock me in a car trunk. They were betting I'd beg to be let out, instead, their empathy always caused them to panic and let me out after a minute or so, I, in the meantime, was unaffected. Anywho, let me just say I could not allow myself to be put in that position any longer. The movie created a phobia where before their wasn't even a hint. If such a thing were possible, I'd pay to have never seen that movie.

In reply to AxelPalmer. I totally agree!! He's done some great work on Game of Thrones but that guy needs to be making features! Thanks for the feedback!

Great article. Just reading about your claustrophobia makes me feel anxious. In any case, The Descent reminds me of a time when horror was starting to make a big comeback, and Lionsgate was really riding that wave. Also, Neil Marshall, somebody needs to get that dude out of director jail (although to be fair, he has done some quality stuff on TV).
