Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What extreme sport are Sarah, Juno and Beth engaged in at the beginning of the movie?

Answer: White water rafting

They are rafting in Scotland. Actresses Shauna Macdonald, Natalie Mendoza, and Alex Reid did the entire white water rafting sequence on their own without any stunt doubles or special effects.
2. What is the name of Sarah's daughter?

Answer: Jessica

Jessica and Paul die in a car crash while driving back to the hotel from the rafting trip. Paul, seemingly distracted by Juno as well as Sarah's questioning, glides into on-coming traffic.
3. What American mountain range is the group traveling to?

Answer: Appalachians

The film was actually shot entirely on English soil. Locations included Berkhamsted and Tring, both in Hertfordshire, U.K. One factual error made by the filmmakers involved the dead elk the group pass while approaching the cave. Elk are found in the western part of North America, not the east where the Appalachians are located.
4. Which two characters are sisters?

Answer: Rebecca and Samantha

Samantha is studying to become a doctor and Rebecca is the most safety conscious of the group. Sam's throat is slashed by a creeper while attempting to scale the cave ceiling. Rebecca, screaming from witnessing her sister's death, is dragged away by another creeper.
5. What is the name of the caverns the characters are supposed to be exploring?

Answer: Boerum Caverns

Deemed a tourist trap, Holly, a mentalist base jumper, says it's more like "Boredom caverns". Although Juno has not taken them to Boerum Caverns. Juno has taken the group a new system, hoping to discover it.
6. Which character gets stuck in the narrow passage?

Answer: Sarah

Sarah, the last through the passage, gets stuck momentarily. Beth coaxes her out before the passage collapses, trapping them all.
7. What motto does Sarah's husband, Paul, frequently quote?

Answer: Love each day

Juno wears a necklace with this inscription, which leads the audience to believe she is having an affair with Paul. When Juno mistakenly stabs Beth through the throat, Beth reaches out grabbing the necklace. When Sarah stumbles upon Beth later, Beth shows it to Sarah; telling her Juno killed her and revealing the affair.
8. Who falls down a steep hole in the cave and breaks her leg while running toward what she thinks is daylight?

Answer: Holly

Holly thinks she sees daylight but it is actually phosphorus in the rock. At the end of the film Juno and Sarah make the same mistake, thinking they are near an exit, but they are not.
9. What sense do the crawlers lack?

Answer: Sight

The crawlers are completely blind and use sonar to hunt. They have adapted perfectly to live in the dark. In the special features on the DVD, it is explained that the crawlers are supposed to have split off from cavemen, and evolved in the caves, thousands of years ago.
10. Who directs "The Descent"?

Answer: Neil Marshall

Marshall's "Dog Soldiers" concerned a group of army men fighting werewolves. One of the werewolf's heads is seen in "The Descent" when Sarah comes across the cave filled with dead animals.
