The British horror film The Descent, directed by Neil Marshall, was released in the United Kingdom, gaining critical acclaim for its suspense and atmosphere.
Principal photography for The Descent was conducted primarily in Scotland, capturing the claustrophobic and terrifying cave scenes that define the movie.
The project for the horror movie The Descent was officially announced, with Neil Marshall attached as director and the story centered around a group of women exploring a cave network.
Juno's husband dies in a car accident, which marks the beginning of Juno's deep grief and psychological struggle.
Juno invites her friends to join her on a caving expedition into an uncharted cave system to escape their daily lives and trauma.
The group arrives at the cave entrance, preparing their gear and discussing the plan to explore a previously uncharted cave system.
The group begins their descent into the cave system, encountering tight passages and vertical shafts they must navigate carefully.
After several hours of exploration, the group loses their way due to the complex cave layout and lack of reliable maps.
The group encounters dangerous humanoid creatures (crawlers) that live in the cave system, threatening their survival.
Several members of the group sustain serious injuries during attacks from the cave creatures and accidents within the cave.
Juno fights for her survival, becoming more unstable and desperate as she confronts both the creatures and her own internal fears.
After intense struggles and losses, Juno finally escapes the cave system, but her trauma remains deeply ingrained.
