The legacy of "The Descent" continues to be felt in the horror genre, with many filmmakers citing the film as an influence. The film's exploration of female relationships and trauma has paved the way for more nuanced and complex horror films, and its use of close quarters and darkness has become a staple of modern horror cinema.
