The Descent Part 2 Movie Review

Cast: Shauna Macdonald, Natalie Mendoza
Direction: Jon Harris
Genre: Horror
India Release Date: 2nd July 2010

A horror film is successful when it manages to scare you. If this job is done, all possible loopholes in the film start looking insignificant... especially the story progression in a sequel.

Jon Harris’ ‘The Descent Part 2’ takes the gruesome story of few women’s encounter with bloodthirsty predators in a dark cave and their fight for survival as shown in ‘The Descent (2005)’ a notch ahead as he manages to let fear grip you in spite of not offering anything new in terms of the story.

It all begins with Juno (Natalie Mendoza) taking her girlfriends on a cave expedition. What seems like a fun trip in the beginning soon turns into an event of bloodbath as one by one the girls get slashed by inhuman creatures. Where the rest die, only Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) manages to survive and get out of those dark dreadful caves.

Days later, a local sheriff forces Sarah to go back into those caves with a rescue team after he suspects Sarah to be the murderer of her friends. Do the creatures exist for real or are these things a figment of Sarah’s disturbed imaginations?

The film drags to a certain extent in the beginning but grips you as it progresses. The dark cave interiors are shot superbly which play a major role in infusing fear into your minds. Only torch and helmet lights are used to showcase the interiors of the cave. The sound effects add intensity to the film.

The fear that grips each character of the film, the effect it has on them, their struggle for survival sends chills down your spine.

If you are faint hearted, this film is definitely not for you. If you love blood and gore, horror in general as a genre, this one’s worth watching.
