Episode 11: The Descent (2005)

Happy Halloween! In this episode of Screams of the Bone Age, we’re joined by special guest Marta Borovčanin to discuss The Descent (2005), a horror movie about a group of explorers who get trapped in a cave and stalked by prehistoric monsters. We talk about our scariest experiences working in caves, and speculate on the possibility of human monsters evolving in caves (Spoiler alert: it probably wouldn’t happen!).

Hear more from Marta on the (Re)Akcionizam podcast (in Serbian)
