Double bill of horror. In ' The Descent' (2005) a young group of female friends go on a climbing expedition & find a lot more than they bargained for. Lost in a cave, off the maps, they encounter a race of barely human cannibalistic subterraneans who are very, very hungry. The sequel, ' The Descent 2' (2009), continues the story of the group of ill-fated cavers. After Sarah Carter (Shauna Mac Donald) is rescued from the Appalachian caves where several of her friends came to a bloody end, she is made to go back & help to try & find any remaining survivors. The local Sheriff (Gavan O' Herlihy) is not wholly convinced by Sarah's version of events or about what she claims she & her friends encountered in the caves & so pushes for the rescue expedition. It soon becomes clear, however, that every awful thing Sarah told him was true.
