Natalie Mendoza, Shauna Macdonald, and Anna Skellern 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.

      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.

    Closing the open end of The Descent
    In the first The Descent movie, where Sarah was the only survival of a caving expedition, Neil Marshall (director and writer) chose to keep the ending open to different interpretations of the real cause of what happened. For me it is that open end that gave an added value to the first episode. Unfortunately someone, probably commercialism and money, decided to create a sequel. In any sequel the storyline is simplified to a brainless horror movie with a fairly guessable storyline.

    There is also nothing to say about good acting or the development of characters.

    If you have seen The Descent this sequel is certainly not worth it. But if you want to see a brainless horror with some jump-scenes it is acceptable.
