10 Smartest Decisions Made By Final Girls In Horror Movies

The Descent is a film about a group of women who explore a cave. When they get themselves trapped, they soon encounter a superhuman threat. These are the Crawlers: subterranean creatures who kill human beings. The film then becomes a struggle to survive, as the women try to find a way out and escape.

The film's final girl, Sarah, starts off grieving the loss of her husband and daughter. At the same time, her friend Juno was having an affair with her late husband. As the course of the film unfolds, Sarah finds out about her friend's duplicity. At the same time, a misunderstanding occurs when she believes Juno to have murdered one of their friends. This all culminates in the film's climax where the two are left as the final survivors. Caught between freedom and an incoming swarm of Crawlers, Sarah wounds Juno and leaves her for the creatures.

While it was a cruel move, Sarah's actions allows her to escape the cave and get to safety. But as the US ending of the film implies, Juno's fate haunts the woman for the rest of her life.
