Shauna Macdonald in The Descent 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.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The original cast from the first movie returned to film for 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.
    • Quotes

      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.

    A little less of the same... but still worth your pennies for the ride
    I'm sure this will be the general feel from the majority of reviews but I've got to say that the Descent part 2 is just what you should expect; Similar character development but less of; Similar direction/cinematography but less of; Similar jumpy frights but less of; Similar gore but less of; Similar crawlers but less of; Similar fun but less of. However, for a £3.5m budget, 1st time director and not much room to manoeuvre with the script it's definitely an enjoyable Friday night flick worth investing in. Hey guys it's a sequel and with few exceptions (which I'm sure are discussed ad nauseum on IMDb notice boards) sequels at best are watered down versions of the originals. Not as good as "The Descent" but certainly better than Mr. Marshall's "Doomsday".
