The Descent is a horror thriller wherein a group of female friends go cave exploring together after previously surviving a tragic vehicle accident a year earlier together after an outdoor trip. Leaving behind them some wits and caution, the friends find themselves in a cave complex unknown to them where vicious, hungry bat-faced humanoids prowl looking to make a meal out of any living thing-or any ONE-they encounter. What ensues is a brutal and bloody battle for survival between the adventure-seeking women and the mostly male, gollum meets bat-faced things! Claustrophobic, acrophobia and fear of the dark can all add to the terror, if watching young ladies face ruthless flesh-rending monsters isn't enough. The tragic back-story of one of the explorers helps the viewer identify and root for her, but the rest are mainly there as snacks for underground dwellers. OK if you want to see if anyone survives the perils of the caverns, by the caves themselves or what lurks within...otherwise, it's a messy crawl, so be forewarned.

Visible crew/equipment: When the girls light the first flare in the cave, the top of a crew member's head is visible, as he is crouched behind a rock. This is confirmed by Director Neil Marshall on the DVD cast commentary.

Sam: Trying to set this watch is impossible, the buttons are too fucking small.
Holly: Why do you wear that thing anyway?
Sam: My boyfriend gave it to me, it's sentimental.
Holly: It's fucking mental, any guy who'd give that to me I'd dump him on the spot.
