During a caving expedition in the Appalachian Mountains, six women are trapped by a rockfall. Searching the labyrinthian tunnels for a way out, they find themselves hunted by a race of fearless, ravenous predators as their adventure quickly descends into primal chaos and madness.
PATHE and STUDIOCANAL have dropped the The Descent 4K SteelBook ready for pre-order today as Neil Marshall’s scary smash hit chiller makes its UK UHD debut on June 29th.
The set comes with a brand new 4K restoration, in a 3-disc SteelBook, featuring commentaries, the alternate ending, a host of featurettes and a poster.
This bona fide British horror classic, written and directed by Neil Marshall (following up his werewolf film Dog Soldiers), is a nerve-shredding thrill ride featuring a group of all-female cavers encountering some very nasty beasties indeed. Shauna Macdonald (Shetland) is outstanding as a woman who goes on a caving trip to try and confront a debilitating trauma – and finds herself tested beyond endurance.
The film has so many winks and nods to horror classics such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Thing and Alien but in its own right sits proudly beside them.
