Descent (2025) is a gripping thriller that really leans into the psychological aspects of trauma. It's set in this isolated cabin, which adds a layer of claustrophobia to the whole experience. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to soak in Alex's fractured psyche as she unravels the mystery of an abduction she stumbles upon. The blurred lines between reality and memory make her a fascinatingly unreliable narrator; you're always questioning what's real. The practical effects used in some of the tense moments are pretty impressive, grounding the horror in a way that feels very tangible. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating at times, which complements the uneasy performances throughout. Definitely a film that invites discussions about its themes long after the credits roll.
