A caving expedition goes horribly wrong, as the explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators.

The Descent is another movie that has a heartbreaking ending, especially if you watch the original, UK extended cut version. In the US version, Sarah escapes the cave, ends up getting into the car and hallucinates her daughter, but in the original, after hallucinating the image of Juno, Sarah awakens in the cave, her entire escape having been revealed to be part of the same hallucination. The crawlers are getting closer and her torchlight is getting weaker. Talk about a hard slap to the face.

The Mist
