Shauna Macdonald in The Descent: Part 2 (2009)
Distraught, confused, and half-wild with fear, Sarah Carter emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where she encountered unspeakable terrors. Unable to plausibly explain to the authorities what happened - or why she's covered in her friends' blood - Sarah is forced back to the subterranean depths to help locate her five missing companions. As the rescue party drives deeper into uncharted caverns, nightmarish visions of the recent past begin to haunt Sarah and she starts to realize the full horror and futility of the mission. Subjected to the suspicion and mistrust of the group and confronted once more by the inbred, feral and savagely ruthless Crawlers, Sarah must draw on all her inner reserves of strength and courage in a desperate final struggle for deliverance and redemption.

    • Trivia
      The original cast from the first movie returned to film the video camera shots featured in this sequel. Executive producer Neil Marshall, who was the director of the first movie, wanted to flesh out the recording that Holly had made on her camera (in the first movie).
    • Goofs
      This film is set in 2005, right after the first one. At 1 hour, 2 minutes, Rios records her video message to her daughter on a Nokia N81 phone, which wasn't released until 2007.

      Greg: Could piggyback on the elevator cables.

      Ed Oswald: You planning to go down there, why not go down in style?

      Greg: What, this old shit still works?

      Ed Oswald: Sonny, let me tell you, this old shit-bucket will be working long time after that MP3 of yours.

    • Crazy credits
      While in the first film the opening credits resembled a flashlight passing over and illuminating them, in this one, the opening credits appears as if a passing light were shining past them onto the audience.

    Surprisingly good.
    The original Descent movie is one of my favourite horror films, so I was really looking forward to feasting my eyes on the second part. To be fair, I wasn't expecting anything near as what the original movie offered.

    The Descent: Part 2 follows Sarah, the sole escapee of the cave in the first movie. She has amnesia and despite this she is questioned by police regarding the whereabouts of her friends. She then gets forced back down into the cave with a new team so they can discover what went on down there.

    The film follows on right after the ending of the American version of the movie which wasn't really to my liking, partly as it's a British horror movie and also because the British ending of The Descent is so much better.

    I was pleasantly surprised though, despite ridiculing the movie literally from start to finish by comparing it to the original (well I was watching it with friends). As a stand-alone movie this is a pretty good one. There were a few scenes just too similar to the original movie and some where just plain ridiculous, but in a good way if that makes sense.

    The death scenes and the moments building towards them were executed brilliantly. Director Jon Harris executes eerie and scary suspense perfectly, pulling you into the scene in question. Furthermore, the scenes from the first movie are recreated perfectly so much so that you'd swear this movie was made at the same time as the original.

    It's nowhere near as good as the original, but a surprisingly good sequel. Plot-holes and revealing mistakes aside, it's good fun, but don't be surprised if you're raising your eyebrow at the ending.
