9 Scary Movies You're Too Pussy To Watch By Yourself This Halloween

6. The Descent

Hey, claustrophobics! Don't worry, you haven't been forgotten. There's a special treat for you right here. The Descent is the inverse of every other creature feature Hollywood has shoveled out. Instead of sprinting through the exposition and tension-building to get to the monster FX, The Descent savors every last morsel of its pre-monster runtime.

I'm not sure how claustrophobia is instilled in people, but I have a pretty good feeling that it involves the thirty minutes of this film that forces the viewer to insert themselves into the characters' headspace while their spelunking adventure goes very awry. Here's a fun way to watch this: On your laptop, with headphones on, in the closet. Don't worry, it'll only hard to breathe because your psyche is bleeding out of your mouth.
