Summary

Adam tells Abe to pull over because he's taking the wheel for an examination of the 2005 British adventure horror thriller movie, The Descent, written and directed by Neil Marshall. In this episode, Adam examines the production hurdles that a film of its budget must overcome and how Marshall expertly navigated tough creative decisions for the benefit of the movie as a whole. From lighting, creature make-up, to camera, it's your one-stop-shop for making a £3.5 million horror film.
