| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
The Descent is Neil Marshall’s hotly anticipated
follow up to his 2002 hit "Dog Soldiers." Directed
by Marshall from his own script, it tells the story of an
all female caving expedition that goes terrifyingly wrong,
and stars Shauna Macdonald, Natalie Mendoza, Alex Reid, Saskia
Mulder, Nora-Jane Noone and MyAnna Buring.
Set in a cave system deep in the Appalachian Mountains, Marshall
describes the film as ‘Deliverance goes underground’.
On a daredevil caving holiday the six girls are trapped underground
when an unexpected rock fall blocks their exit. Searching
the maze of tunnels for a way out, they find themselves hunted
by a race of fearless, hungry predators, once humanoid but
now monstrously adapted to live in the dark…
As the others battle for their lives, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald),
still recovering from a mental collapse brought on by the
recent deaths of her family, is fighting for her sanity. When
old secrets are revealed, the group implodes as friends turn
on one another. Betrayed and desperate, Sarah realises that
to make it back to the surface, she must become as savage
as the creatures themselves.
