The Descent is a British horror film written and directed by Neil Marshall. The film stars actresses Shauna Macdonald, Natalie Mendoza, Alex Reid, Saskia Mulder, Nora-Jane Noone and MyAnna Buring. The plot follows six women who enter an uncharted cave system and struggle to survive against the monstrous cannibals inside.
Filming took place in the United Kingdom. Exterior scenes were filmed at Ashridge Park, Hertfordshire, and in Scotland. Because the filmmakers considered it too dangerous and time-consuming to shoot in an actual cave, interior scenes were filmed on sets built at Pinewood Studios near London designed by Simon Bowles.
The Descent opened in cinemas in the United Kingdom on 8 July It premiered in the Sundance Film Festival and released on 4 August in the United States. The film received positive reviews with praise for the performances, cinematography and Marshall's direction. It was also a box-office success, grossing $ million worldwide against a £ million budget. Since its release, it has been regarded as one of the best horror films of the s.

Saskia Mulder, who hails from the Netherlands, is excitedly enjoying her first visit to Los Angeles to promote Neil Marshall's The Descent. She took time to talk to me about the film. Brought into the project via the usual casting channels, Saskia won the role of Rebecca, the "safety girl" of the film's ensemble of women.
Michael Guillén: What was it like working with the ensemble of actresses?
Saskia Mulder: Fantastic! There's something about six girls working together—it could be great but it could also be horrible—but it was so much fun. The shoot was tough and physically grueling so coming in every day at in the morning and finding five of your new best friends; it was just really nice.
MG: My understanding is that Rebecca was supposed to be the most experienced caver among the group, the "safety girl." Did that require you to train even more than the others?
Saskia: We all trained the same. Basically, we really had a boot camp. I've never had so many bruises and walked around with that much muscle ache in my life. The training was really tough but it was good preparation for the parts, not only physically but mentally as well. We went caving. I had to learn to offroad drive. We did ab sailing. We climbed a lot. It was just really good fun to learn.
