NotSoSaintly Honestly, you just HAD to make a Part Two? The first one did so well, but as you can tell by just the Rotten Tomatoes score, something changed. First of all, guys, when something works ... do not try to "fix" it. Oh, you thought maybe the first movie was too dark and it would be better if we were able to see more? Well, the darkness is what made it scarier. (Not to mention more realistic.) This is why it is not scary this time. The ambient light coming from nowhere in a dark cave system!! LOL We are laughing our heads off at whoever it was who decided to use more light. I mean, come on! Did they bring someone new in who thought he/she/they could do a horror film properly? Well, they didn't know how to do their job. Another reason to keep it dark in this film ... the sets are horrendous. I feel like I just got transported onto a Star Trek set from the 1960s. Bottom line, the first movie was good. Let it be. Don't watch this. They couldn't even tie Part Two in properly with the first movie, right off the bat. There is nothing here that will be answered, if you even had questions after the first. Just more of the same, death and survival.Please, do not make a Part Three.

angiris I revisited the 1st film last night and realized there was a part 2 after enjoying the 1st one. The Descent ( 1) is an amazing film. Lovely soundtrack with variety, good scenes, plot, likeable characters and believable reactions. Its a dark, creepy horror thriller and very well executed.Only gripe I have with it is how stupid the one chick is, going to explore an uncharted cave system with a bunch of amateurs. Disaster waiting to happen. Other than that... its very enjoyable. HOWEVER. Along comes part 2 and not only is it copy and pasting the living hell out of the 1st movie. But its done in such a cliche, retarded way that makes me lose braincells just by thinking about it. The blonde chick from the 1st movie escapes. Is picked up and traumatized causing her to lose her memory. 2 cops appear, one is a kind officer trying to understand, the other is an old, stubborn, 2 dimensional thinking BUFFOON WHO has 1 god damn facial expression the entire god damn film. He thinks she killed everyone and drags her traumatized mind out of the hospital, back Down into the cave. Entering a region of this uncharted place, removing a barricade of wooden boards, covering a consealed passage and asks her " Do you recognize anything" I could actually feel my annoyance level rise from 1 to 1000000 by just writing that. THE ROOM WAS WALLED UP. BARRED! HOW THE HELL WAS SHE SUPPOSED TO GET IN THERE IN THE 1st PLACE?But thats not the worst thing. Ooooooh no. Behold, pure god damn pandemonium of idiocracy when the officer, before venturing down this cave is told" Dont bring your gun. Firing it is like exploding dynamite. " But ohh no. Mr, I can't do no wrong, experienced policeman stereotype of course does NOT listen and fires his gun 5 minutes later, causing the god damn cave to collapse......The plot goes on, they find the bodies of the former girls and more. People die because they have to die, nobody is likeable at all. Its horror tropy. thats it. Whole Family of 3 rescue workers are killed without much thought put into it. Although we are given the idea of a relevant subplot happening. Nope. Just meat for the grinder. Later as they are trying to survive ( 2 girls and 1 officer lost in the dark," They come across Juno. The pro chick from the 1st movie that survived. Okay. Interesting. Are we gonna get revenge? Sure. In some form. But its quickly forgotten ( and for the better too) The police dude rejoins with Juno and the others and begin working their way out. But although the dumb FOOL of an officer ALREADY ENCOUNTERED THE VAMPIRE MONSTERS.... he still somehow... thinks that the blonde chick is to blame for the murders. And decides to handcuff her.... as they are trying to survive this HORDE of monsters chasing them. If you are not face palming, wanting to strangle this moron... you should be. Lord knows I am. By GOD is it annoying to Watch. he eventually dies by falling. Which could've ALSO been avoided because the blonde chick told him " Its unstable. We better go 1 by 1" Nope. Ofc not. He must be that strong, can't do no wrong, I'm always right, baddy policeman" And that gets him killed... when he falls and Juno tells the other chick " His partner" to cut off his hand using a pickaxe because he was pulling them all Down as they held on to the blonde girl. She proceeds to do so. They venture on. Juno dies, the blonde chick commits suicide trying to save the police chick and she escapes... only to get SLAMMED IN THE FACE BY A SHOVEL... from some redneck dude that feeds his vampire buddies....for reasons never remotely explained. The End. Jumpscare. What a PILE OF INSULTING GARBAGE. A movie for stupid people with zero expectations. Rating this anywhere above 5 is a crime to the most basic of movie making. God damn. I got angry watching this because the 1st film is so fantastic. THEY EVEN RECYCLED THE SAME MUSIC OVER AND OVER: Literally... this film has 2 music tracks. One aggressively phased one during fights. and then... the sorrow packed one from the 1st film that plays over...and over...and over...and over till you pull your god damn hair out.5.8 out of 10 ? Haha. Yeah sure.... just like The Last Jedi or Justice League deserves a 10 out of 10. Give me a break. 3 out of 10. Offers NOTHING new. Rips off existing content, destroys characters and replaces them with stupid dislikable ones. Ignores subplots. Emphasis on purely gore and stereotypes. And worst of all... is the generic, typical cliché where you include the evil red neck .... which is just so chainsaw massacre, Wrong Turn alike... MEH. Seriously. The vampires were mysterious in the 1st film. Along comes the 2nd one and we got some backwater hick feeding them... ultimately RUINING them. Making them out of mindless dumb animals rather than semi- intelligent, evil vampires. God damn. What a total trainwreck of a movie. I will forget this exists and enjoy the 1st one. This HAS NO BUSINESS EXISTING. AT ALL:

Tweekums If, like me, you watched the original UK version of 'The Descent' you might have wondered how protagonist Sarah Carter could be in this one as well as the last time we saw her she was still deep underground surrounded by the crawlers… the producers clearly wanted at least one returning cast member so decided to follow on from the alternate US ending where she gets out of the caves.Set a couple of days after Sarah and her party went missing the rescue party is searching the wrong cave system; then she turns up covered in her friends blood but with no memory of what happened. Her trail is traced back to an old mine and a rescue party is sent in; they are accompanied by the local sheriff and his deputy as well as Sarah, who the sheriff is convinced killed her friends. They haven't been in the caves long when Sarah starts to have flashbacks and flees from the others. Soon afterwards a rock fall separates the group and not long after that they learn that they are not alone. The crawlers start picking them off and the terror of the first film starts to repeat itself as the survivors try get out of the caves before the crawlers can get to them.I had heard that this sequel was disappointing so put off watching it till I saw the DVD in the bargain bin… to be honest it isn't that bad and perhaps because I'd been prepared to be disappointed I ended up enjoying it more than I expected… that doesn't mean it is as good as the first; just better than it might have been. Once we have seen that Sarah did in fact survive the action quickly moves back underground and once there the tension remains high. The setting is just as claustrophobic as the first film and if anything the crawlers are even scarier. The level of gore has increased considerably with plenty of blood spilt every time anybody dies or in one case has his arm hacked off with a climbing pick! The weakness of this film is the characters; in the original we had a tight-knit, all-girl group of friends but here many of them don't know each other. The characters are also less sympathetic; this is especially true of the unlikeable sheriff whose actions repeatedly endanger everybody. There are a few twists along the way; some good (the reappearance of a familiar face, don't read the cast list before watching) and some rather poor (the ending). Overall I'd say this was decent enough; a little disappointing compared to the first but still better than many horror films.

sukanya-samy Ya I know, I am one of those who watches movies back to back. And I am going to keep this one very short.After my pleasant (nothing pleasant about it) viewing of Descent, I watched the sequel. For people who are interested, Descent released in 2005 had 2 different endings, both quite plausible and one of them which would have shut the chapter for a sequel. But they chose the ending which opened the doors for a sequel when it wasn't required.The movie opens just 2 days after the 6 women go missing and shows the sheriff and cave explorers trying to figure out where they were. In a parallel scene, Sarah who escaped gets saved and ends up in a hospital. The movie then continues to show the stupid sheriff, about 3 explorers and Sarah back again in the same cave system from which Sarah escaped. Now if you have gone through a traumatic experience, why would you force a survivor to face the same circumstances again and if you are the survivor, why would you go into the claustrophobic setting again? I just couldn't understand it.The movie then just goes from bad to worse with the same kind of scenes, jumps and gore which wasn't even required. Sarah played by Shauna Macdonald tries her best to save the movie but is left unsupported by the stupidity of the plot and irrational sequence of events.Some movies just don't need a sequence (even if they made tonnes of money to begin with). I give this a 'C-'.
