Picks up where the first one left off...
17 March 2010
If you liked the first movie ("The Decent"), then you will most definitely like part two. In fact, you HAVE to watch it, as the sequel picks up right where the first one ended, and sort of comes full circle when it ends.

Again, descending into the dark caverns beneath our safe and sound "surface" world, The Descent 2 is another foray into the dark subterranean world beneath ours. As with part 1, the scenery here is dark and creepy, giving you a sense of claustrophobia and paranoia.

It was good to see some return of characters from part 1.

The cast for part 2 was equally good, just as it was in part 1. Everyone here did a really good job at bringing their characters to life on screen, even the ones with small supporting roles.

The Descent 2 is a thrill ride from start to end, just like part 1 was. There are a couple of scenes that will make you jump, but no major frights. But of course, that is not the intention here. They pulled it off again so well with the claustrophobia and constant paranoia and fear as the characters are hunted by the subterranean dwellers. As with part 1, the creatures were nicely put together, good make-up, good prosthetics, and very believable.

This sequel is a MUST to watch for fans of the first Descent movie.
