After a personal tragedy, Sarah joins her friends on a caving expedition in the Appalachian Mountains. But when a rockfall traps them deep underground, their adventure turns into a nightmare. As they search for a way out, the group discovers they are not alone—lurking in the darkness are savage, cave-dwelling creatures. With rising tension and dwindling trust, the women must fight to survive against both the predators and each other.

VIBE

A descent into primal terror, this film is a relentless, claustrophobic nightmare. It's a visceral gauntlet of dread and escalating panic, where the darkness itself feels like a character. Expect harrowing tension, brutal survival instincts, and a truly unsettling exploration of fear and human limits.
