The Descent

Six women, who at one point spent a lot of time exploring together, decide to reunite for a caving expedition. None of them had any idea that it would be their last. Neil Marshall gives us his view on adaptation and how people would react in desperate situations.

The story starts off very violently with the husband and child of the main character being killed in a car accident. A year later she meets up with hers friends to explore a remote cave. Shortly after entering the cave the women become trapped and begin to search for a way out. During their search they come in contact with a group of creatures that look like they were, at one time, human. What they are is a ravenous bunch that will do anything to survive. As the creatures are terrorizing them, the women are forced to confront their fears as well as their distrust for each other.
