I don't watch that many movies, but I just saw a great one. The Descent. Its about five women who go spelunking. Its got everything I like: scary stuff, women doing cool adventure travel, survival and trauma.
Its got a whole supernatural monster thing going, but even without that it's pretty scary. The mistakes the women make are not egregious. In fact, like any survival situation, it seems the mistakes are small. The real character flaw is hubris on the part of the leader. And the misplaced trust the rest of the party has in her.
Its great to see a horror film where the women act like grown-ups.
I reccomend getting the original cut, 'cause the cut for American audiences leaves the viewer hanging in a weird spot
