Holly

The queen is dead, long live... the fucking queen!


Biography[]

Holly is good friends with Juno.

She is an over enthusiastic thrill seeker who heralds from Galway, Ireland and explains to Sarah that she’s “ran out of things to jump off” back home.

She forms a close bond with Sarah, Sam and Rebecca during the excursion.

She can be heard making jokes and venturing off on her own within the cave network.


The Descent[]

While looking for a way out of the cave, Holly saw phosphorus in some rock, which she believed was sunlight. She rushed ahead at this and accidentally fell down a hole, breaking her leg. Later, when the crawlers attacked, one leaped in front of Holly and killed her by biting into her neck. Her body was later seen being feasted on by crawlers, before Sarah looted the corpse to make a torch.

Notes[]

Holly seems especially fond of Sam, and the two appear to get along very well. They are also the youngest of the group.

Her last name, according to director Neil Marshall, is Mills.
