The Descent

Why tonight?

• ◆Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
• ◆It goes hard on violence and frights — not a wind-down.

The story

After a personal tragedy, Sarah joins her friends on a caving expedition in the Appalachian Mountains. But when a rockfall traps them deep underground, their adventure turns into a nightmare. As they search for a way out, the group discovers they are not alone—lurking in the darkness are savage, cave-dwelling creatures. With rising tension and dwindling trust, the women must fight to survive against both the predators and each other.
