The Descent Part 2 movie review
I just got back from a horror roller-coaster ride of The Descent Part 2. This time the movie preview screening is courtesy of Nuffnang. Now, here’s what I think of this British made film.
Do you still remember the movie The Descent? Well, this is the direct continuation from the first film. It’s set 2 hours after the end of Part 1.
To refresh your memory, here’s a little review about The Descent Part 1. After the tragic death of her daughter, Sarah (Sauna McDonald) takes five of her friends for a refreshing trip to an underground cave. After the entry in the cave, conflict starts to occur as they find it difficult to find a way out.
Previously, no one has ever entered the cave and made it out safely. This was proven by the existence of human skulls scattered around them. The conflict got worse when they know that there is man-eating monsters in the cave. Each of them had died, one by one, with Sarah trying her best to stay alive. God knows what happened to Sarah’s good pal Juno (Natalie Mendoza) after she was left fighting with dozens of monsters.
From The Descent Part 1, the ending seemed to be floating. The audience did not know whether Sarah got out of the cave or not. Well, The Descent Part 2 provides the answer.
In this Part 2, Sarah managed to escape from the cave. Five of Sarah’s friends were reported as missing from the expedition. Then, the sheriff forced her back into the cave again, as a guide, along with a rescue team led by Dan (Douglas Hodge).
Guess what happened next? When the rescue team of six people goes deeper, the same problem occurs all over again. The monsters are back to attack and eat each and everyone of them. Juno is found to be alive in the cave but can she protect the remaining members of the team?
Sadistic, horror and awesome, that’s my words for describing the action scenes that depict the monsters trying to slaughter the rescue team. The director, Jon Harris, is no doubt an extraordinaire at serving chills down your spine. 4/5 stars for keeping me at the edge of my seat for the most part of the show.
