Synopsis:

The babes are buff and the scares bountiful in "The Descent," a full-throttle horror freakout about six women on a caving expedition. This is the second feature from the British filmmaker Neil Marshall, who four years ago set loose a pack of protein-starved werewolves in "Dog Soldiers," tossing in some explosions and novelty-shop entrails along the way. In the years since, Mr. Marshall has learned a couple of important lessons, notably that for sheer visceral impact, few images beat that of a woman slicked head to toe in blood - think "Carrie" - save for, of course, the image of that same woman unleashing unholy terror. If "The Descent" boils down to little more than the survival of the fittest (and nastiest), a Darwinian soap opera for the Just Do It generation, it is also indisputably and pleasurably nerve-jangling. The American edition comes with a nominally more upbeat ending than the British original, but it's basically just kill or be killed, and with as much eyeball-gouging, neck-gnawing, head-bashing and outright fear-mongering as possible.

A group of girls seek adventure on a caving expedition. Deep inside underground caves they find themselves cut off from the world and off the map. Battling to get back to the surface they realise that they are being hunted by an unknown cannibalistic force. Now they must pull together and fight for their very survival.
