The Descent is a masterpiece of horror- It came out of nowhere and stunned audiences and critics alike. There was no doubt that a sequel had to be made and thus we have The Descent 2 which somehow carries on the legacy of the failed sequel. Yes, there is a cave and there are cave monsters but what is lacking is a soul. This film proves the importance of a deft hand behind the camera and a great screenplay. We still have the cave and the same monsters, yet this is a letdown of a movie.

Do you think it's a coincidence that this film is set in the Appalachian Mountains of the US? (Filmed in Britain.)That section of the country is the inbred/incest capital of the US. (And maybe the civilized world.)These creatures are the result of decades of hillbillies discarding the unwanted children in a cave - sometime in the past. They continue to breed, and multiply. They evolve into blind, deformed "humans."The old man at the end of the film, is a member of the "family," who drags the animals to the hole, to feed his "kin.""Surface humans" have only entered the cave a few times (thus the cave drawings, and old equipment in the first film, found by the women). The cave dwellers simply see invaders as more food.

Final a sequel from a director that actually followed from the original perfect using the same set up and actress from the original in this film, which is how a sequel is properly done in continuing a story in the right direction.Re-cap for those that havent seen the first film in 2005 the first decent film came out with a story of a group of 6 woman who went on a trip after one of their friends had lost a baby, to get it off her mind they decide to go on a cave explore trip that ended in a nightmare fight for survival situation as they get trap under ground in a maze of tunnels; but between them and the exit are humanoid creatures out for blood. If you havent seen this first film i recommend watching it before this one.What great about this film is that the director and writers i would shake their hands as they got everything almost perfect a few area of the film was off, but when it come to following from original concept of where each character from the first film was perfect placed in every detail. This is where they got this film right which is refreshing to see, because not many directors and writers get this right so praise to the director and writers of this film. (Not that often i say that).Decent 2 follow the first film perfect as we see Shauna Macdonald reprise her role as Sarah Carter being a accused of murder by the local sheriffs as they done believe her on what went on during the first film events, just like (Ripley from Aliens) she force to enter the nightmare once again as the all of the local police force and cave experts are trying to find the other girls.But as before only Sarah know what they are walking into and it once again become a nightmare fight for survival like before as they are confronted by the creatures, although some scene are pretty much predictable because you've seen the first film, there are area in this film that came as a surprise to me after watching the first movie.This is what make this a great film, it follow the first movie and get the same actress and actor to reprise these roles was a brilliant move, as most director change the actor or actress to play other actors and actress role it doesn't have that continue story feel when you change actors.This film is still blood thirst as the first film was with a few unpredictable jumps scene which made me jump. non of this force scare the audience jump with sound, some area was just intense and creep which make this a good sequel.So if you look for a good horror film to watch if you haven't seen this already, i recommend watching this film. Dislikes : There was a few point where logic goes out the window, the only part really bad about this film is a very poor ending. It something we have seen before as we get the typical doesnt end well ending which i though was lame, but the rest of this film was actually good.

To me, this part is perfect as the first part. but something so much like Female power in here. and all male is the idiot here. Well, they did have the woman pride here in this movie.But still through I did agree with this movie not so bad as the first one and you needed to put all the best thing in the first movie to see through it. And every strategy here is the karma you pay for your stupidity.-----------------Finally get, why this movie gets the low rate. because of the ending. The ending more like want to get viewer curious for the next movies/book?this ending has been dropping my rate 10 stars to 4 stars. that's not what I am expecting.
