Bodily Humours Splashing Across Spelunkers' Faces: The Movie. Not surprisingly, it made me want to go into the future and tell my grandson thank you for bringing food to my room all these years so I would never have to go outside and ruin the nice lack-of-pigment thing I have going.

Obviously pointless sequel with jump scares every 10 minutes once they reach the caves. The audience knows about the monsters at this point so any tension and fear of the unknown is lost. The amnesiac protagonist in the first "Sarah" is coerced into returning by a sheriff that looks like he was a stock character from an 80's horror flick. They all inexplicably decide it's a good idea to travel back into a dangerous cave where people disappeared. There's also an ending that's eye rolling silly.

A horrible, formulaic, ill-conceived mess: the Descent: Part 2 is a shameless cash-in on the original. But where the first descent was memorable and suspenseful, the sequel makes every effort to to be derivative and pointlessly gory. The characters have no personality (I didn't remember any names), serve no purpose and die meaninglessly to fill gore quotas. A sequel made by people who thought that the boring bat monsters were all that was good about the original.

It's the same stuff as in the first movie, except crappier. You can guess all the scares because they are not only predictable, but also have been used in the first movie already. Also, why the hell would they drag an amnesiac from the hospital with them? Just... no.

Can't hold a candle - or in this case: flashlight - to the original, which, by the way, is one of the best horror movies in the last ten years, if you ask me. It does, however, offer decent fan service. A few good jump scares, a few predictable ones and a bunch of annoying characters getting their comeuppance. Just about worth the time even if it is severely lacking the tension, unpredictability and immense sense of claustrophobic dread that make the first one unforgettable.

It is a 'part 2' in the original sense of the word. It takes off straight where the first one finished; and even integrates some scary events of the previous movie into this one in quite an original way. It's not a masterpiece but quite enjoyable if you liked the first one.

Caving! The scary part was caving! It wasn't the monsters, it was the claustrophobia of cave exploration. The first movie was more interesting, and having a crew of badass women was better than these macho morons. All the character motivations are nonsensical. Retconning the first movie's ending in order to make a worse sequel is a terrible choice.

For the most part it's a perfectly watchable horror flick that manages to elicit scares and create tension with its claustrophobic setting. However, it not only inevitably lacks the original's novelty factor, it also replaces it with sheer complacency: jump scares are overused, the dialogues are stilted, major plot points are inconsistent with the first film, act three drags, the climax is anticipated from the start, and the final reveal is pointless, inexplicable and somehow still predictable.

Not as good as its prequel though, yet manageable. It's the setting (always, on my part) that took away most of the horror coz it looks more of a studio-turned-into-a-cave scene. The intro of a black policewoman was a fresh welcome, but her final fate I didn't like, especially that an unknown old man suddenly crept into the screen and simply ended her and the film, closing with a cold towel. MY SCORING: 99-96=Great; 95-90=Very good; 89-85=Good; 84-80=So-so; 79-70=Boring; Below 70=Forget it

#An unnecessary sequel where nothing made any sense. The characters served no purpose and died meaninglessly, in fact the whole movie was just annoying. Meaningless decisions taken by the characters so that the drama could continue. It felt like this was just another 'wrong turn' installment where a group of idiots do stuffs which they shouldn't.

Laughably bad film, and a completely unnecessary sequel. In short, they made a complete copy of the original movie, but with even worse characters, and a scene where they roll around in a pit full of poop. Why did they make this? Why?

First of all, the existence of this movie destroys the end of the first one. The plot is very contrived, though they do manage to tie it to the first film nicely a couple of times. The new characters are lame, and most of their dialogue is, too. There is some pretty bad green screen effects in the movie, and surprisingly, some sub-par practical effects, also. Oh, and I really didn't like the ending. Still, there are one or two decent scenes, so it's not a total loss, overall.

AWFUL. For a flick to be scary, SOMETHING in it needs to somehow realistic. Nothing--from the story line to the overpopulation of Brits in Appalachia to the "crawlers", which look like the spawn of Gollum + an Orc or two--is remotely plausible. The "jump scares" quickly became funny (one assumes this was not the intended effect), and there's even a sludge-pool bout of ladies' mud-wrestling (why are there SO many more women than men in this, anyway?)--a clue to its intended audience, perhaps.

Not sure why all the hate for this versus the first, as if the difference in quality is so obviously vast, this being straight-forward opportunism where dirty profit-desire means contempt for the original. In fact, while it lacked the all-women cast, it at least tried to continue the ambiguous personal development and relations between the survivors, of the original protagonist in particular. Not sure if people are talking this down too much, or the original up too much, or both...maybe both...

Is The Descent: Part 2 scary? Only if you found the jump scares and general atmosphere of the first film scary. But apart from that (which I'll admit is by far the most important part), the rest is kind of a mess. The story is convoluted and is a disservice to the original, the characters all fade into the background, with one being indistinguishable from the others, and the ending is absolutely awful. But, if you really want to see Sarah's story continue, it'll be worth your time to watch.

Not as good as the original; reuses a lot of the same scares, and not as suspenseful. It's kinda cool that this one picks up right where the original left off, and incorporates things like corpses from the first into it. Still, bringing a traumatized amnesiac back into the caves that nearly drove her crazy with a tiny rescue party is a pretty dumb idea. Suffers from a terrible ending that makes no sense. Also, I'm pretty sure blood in this movie is magnetically attracted to people's mouths.

Ah yes, take an injured crazed woman, heavily sedated, out of a hospital bed, and take her hunting for monsters...recipe for disaster if you ask me! If you can accept the completely crazy premise, it is not a bad follow up, with some good shocks, but the cheesy "Carrie"/"Sigourney Weaver" type action heroine poses gets a bit repetitive. This film does not follow on the from the European ending, but that is a fairly minor point. What really sucks is the ending, which makes no sense whatsoever.

A decent cheap-scare movie that suffers in being a direct sequel its predecessor. Tries and fails to capture the tension and claustrophobia of the first while recycling most of the shock moments to the extent that anyone whose seen the first will know exactly when something bad is about to happen. The screenplay is horribly contrived at times; why did they drag a malnourished amnesiac out of hospital on a rescue mission? Watchable but forgettable. Stick to the first one.

One of those sequels which never should have gone on the floor. The tension building atmosphere of the first is turned upside down in the sequel in the favor of cheap, unimaginative thrills. Couple that with bad acting, a horrendous screenplay, and tired execution. The Descent Part 2 ultimately results into an exercise in boredom.

Good second part of a 3 PART SERIES. Hey idiots, it's not a sequel, it was always planed as a three act set. Considering how good this act was, how MUCH BETTER THAN PART 1 this was, I can't wait for part three to be released. Funny that no matter where you look; the people who give this the lowest scores all agree that such TRASH FILMS as District 9, Fight Club , Monty Python, were, what a joke, actually enjoyable?!!!?
