The Descent

The Descent, a British horror film, plunges you into the depths of uncharted subterranean territory. The story follows six women, led by Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) and Juno (Natalie Mendoza), who embark on a caving expedition deep in the Appalachian mountains. Unbeknown to them, the caverns are home to a horde of flesh-eating creatures. As survival instincts kick in, friendships are tested and secrets surface. Directed by Neil Marshall, this claustrophobic thriller won the British Independent Film Award for Best Director in 2005. Amidst darkness and despair, The Descent is a chilling exploration of fear itself.
