Young Frankenstein is full of incredible, go-for-broke gags, but its staying power comes from its foundationally solid screenwriting and filmmaking techniques. Young Frankenstein is powerfully funny, and why wouldn't it be? Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman - these are some of the funniest human beings who ever lived, and when they combined their efforts to make a smart, silly, and surprisingly emotional spoof/sequel of one of our most well-respected horror stories, alchemy was made. Look up some theories on the ending once you're done.Ĭast: Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Teri Garr, Kenneth Mars, Madeline Kahn Using cramped, handheld photography and night-vision, Marshall crafts some of the most aggressive, muscular scares you'll see in recent horror history, and the cast is beyond believable in their psychological dissolution. But as they descend deeper into the caves, losing their way and what remains of their sanity, a bunch of nightmarish creatures make their presence known, and all hell breaks loose. What sounds scarier: running out of oxygen in the claustrophobic unknown of underground caves, or flesh-eating monsters tearing you to bits? The Descent dares to ask, "Why not both?" Neil Marshall's pulverizing feat of fear finds a group of fractured, female friends on a spelunking expedition, trying to support and rebuild their relationship with Shauna Macdonald after a horrific car accident leaves her life broken. Cast: Shauna Macdonald, Natalie Mendoza, Alex Reid, Saskia Mulder, Nora-Jane Noone, MyAnna Buring
