Film Comment Selects: The Descent Sneak Preview! Monday, July 24: 8 Tickets: $15, $12 FSLC members For our latest bimonthly showcase Film Comment’s editorial staff offers a special preview screening of British filmmaker Neil Marshall’s terrifying horror thriller, in which a group of female cave explorers become trapped in a remote Appalachian cave system… and discover that they are not alone! Prepare yourself for the most extreme girls’ night out of the year. We expect Neil Marshall will introduce the film and participate in a post-screening Q&A. And read Vivian Sobchack's "On (Not) Watching Horror" in the July/August issue of Film Comment ~ available on newstands now as well as at the Walter Reade Theater's concession stand. Sobchack states that The Descent is one of those particular types of films that "refuses to wink at themselves and instead take their horrors seriously." She found herself "suddenly conjoined in an unexpected twinning with those self-avowed horror-film cinephiles who cannot take their eyes from the screen." Sponsored by Stella Artois® The Descent Neil Marshall, 2005; 99m After a brutal accident, a group of female friends decide it’s time to convalesce with a little vacation. But their idea of R&R is spelunking in a remote Appalachian cave. Things get dicey when a section of the cavern collapses and traps the estrogenic super team. The adventure quickly goes from bad to berserk. As old wounds break open and loyalties disintegrate, the women realize the horrible truth - they have the most to fear from one another. Film Comment Selects presents films championed by the writers and editors of Film Comment magazine. Published bi-monthly, Film Comment magazine features the best writing around on new international and American cinema.
