I liked The Descent. Watching the women band together (for the most part) without the help of men was empowering and fascinating.
WARNING: "The Descent" spoilers below
Do they really band together in an empowered way? Once they get to the cave, things unravel and you have a series of events that completely decimates the group. Juno sleeps with one woman's husband, tricks them all into going into uncharted caves, and then ends up killing one of the woman when she chops her neck with a climbing axe in a fit of savage blood lust, albeit while battling subterranean creatures...
All the girls end up dead, except for one, who ends up trapped and mad in a purgatory, cackling manically while she thinks she is having birthday cake with her dead child.

I'll admit, the hint flat out stumped me this time.
Watched The Descent last night. Damn. Shoulda watched it on my TV with the lights out instead of on my phone. It legit got me excited. The characters were occasionally flat, and the genre switch from cave exploration to monster movie felt a little weird, but that didn't stop it from being seriously scary.
