Sarah Carter still suffers from fear because of her presence in the Cave of Appalachia, where she faced a real disaster in that dreadful cave. After leaving the dark cave, Sara suffers from a state of stupor and can not explain what happened because it is so mysterious. Sarah is trying to come back again to find her missing five, where rescuers have begun searching deeper into the caves to reach the missing people. There are still many chases for Sarah, where she returns to a state of complete terror. Sarah must rely on all her inner strengths and courage in her struggle against that real impasse.
An uninspired retread of a horror classic, this tries hard to justify its existence... and fails.

With its back-and-forth plot pointing, illogical leaps in pragmatic believability, and a finale that flips a big fat middle finger at anyone who invested 90 minutes in this junk, The Descent 2 cannot hold a miner's candle to the original.
As popcorn entertainment, it delivers, and should satisfy fans on all platforms.

A claustrophobic, creepy popcorn flick that compensates for predictable scares with deliciously disgusting moments involving a whole spectrum of bodily fluids.

You can practically see the film trying to "color between the lines" laid down in the first film, but there's just enough freshness to keep Part 2 chugging along.
You won't be missing anything spectacular if you don't catch The Descent: Part 2, for horror fans and those who enjoyed the original, however, it's definitely worth a go.
By the standards set up by its predecessor, it's a letdown, but by the overall standards of horror sequels, it's a complete success.

It delivers the goods as they say. A third film is surely on the cards, no doubt in 3D. But in order to retain any good will, this series is going to have to do the one thing our Crawler friends have demonstrably failed to do. Evolve.
