BIHF celebrates the 20th anniversary of The Descent by welcoming one of the film’s stars Shauna Macdonald to Belfast for a special screening of Neil Marshall’s claustrophobic horror classic.

When a caving expedition goes horribly wrong a group of women become trapped underground and find themselves pursued by a strange breed of predators.

Afraid of the dark? You will be!

Anyone who prebooks a ticket for this screening will also receive a special print designed by Gerard Torbitt.
