· The Descent · by Neil Marshall                  ☼ online event

A group of young women go on a caving expedition. One is more of a risk-taker than the others, and she intentionally sends them all into an unexplored cavern. There they become trapped. Lingering friction from past experiences and personality clashes hinders their search for a way out. It isn’t long before they discover why nobody has ever emerged from this area to produce a map and report on its hazards.
