A year after a severe emotional trauma, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) goes to North Carolina to spend time exploring caves with her friends. After descending underground, the women find strange cave paintings and evidence of an earlier expedition. The group learns they are not alone: Underground predators inhabit the crevasses, and they have a taste for human flesh.

"The Descent sustains a level of intensity that most horror films can barely muster for five minutes."
"Working on terrific sets with imaginative lighting effects and cinematography, Marshall creates a palpable sense of claustrophobia and danger well before murderous cave dwellers make their appearance quite a ways into the movie."
This film is part of the After Hours series.
