Unironically. Watching that movie at 10 made me an atheist for life. From then on, I couldn't go to mass or listen to a priest without perceiving it as cynical and perverse. Churches started to creep me out, having a dead dude being tortured tied to a cross and demanding everyone to feel anything other than disgust is perverse in itself.
When my youngest sister was about 7 (18 years between us), all of the adults were watching this movie in the living room while the kids were playing outside and in the rooms with outdoor access. She came into the living room to talk to my parents about something and got terrified by the movie. She was balling and screaming while covering her ears as she continuously ran in and out of the living room while staring at the screen. She was stuck in some terror loop. Finally, my other sister just picked her up and carried her elsewhere because nobody else could stop laughing. Poor kid. She's alright now, super smart, responsible, and well adjusted. I'm sure your kid is alright.

I need help finding a horror movie (at least I think it was a horror movie, maybe horror/comedy). The ending has a woman kissing a big furry monster.

The Dark Crystal is a good scary movie for kids. The movie that got me scared as a kid was a Ernest Scared Stupid. I can't explain why, that movie scared the shit out of me. After that it was watching The Relic.
I dunno what OP's daughter was watching that wasn't 'scary enough' but going straight to The Descent was a terrible idea.

Geez. I have a friend who took his 10 yo son, and a friend to Bad Santa. This fits well with that miss-adventure.
My mom never let me watch scary movies growing up, so when I finally got the watch The Birds at 13 it scared the shit out of me. Couldn't sleep for a few weeks.
I don't watch scary movies still.
We watched The Birds in class in 6th grade, it was lovely. Absolute hysteria modulated by Hitchcock's suspense in between horror.
That teacher molded an entire class, swear.
My parents let me stay up to watch Arachnophobia when I was about 6. That movie absolutely fucked me up for the longest time, and it's probably why to this day I'm absolutely terrified of bugs and spiders.
