The second movie picks up right where we left off: with a crazy lady running through the woods covered with blood. Check it out for yourself.


As you can see, Sarah is out — but sadly, her memory and sanity are both badly damaged. Local authorities pick her up, and right away want to know why shes drenched in the blood of her friends. With her memory gone, the cops think it's best to send the crazy lady back down into the cave, with a new team, to find out exactly what happened. And of course the Crawlers get another buffet course of human flesh. The Descent 2 has been opening up in festivals across the US, and overseas.

<![CDATA[Descent 2 Trailer Goes Back In The Cave, Leaves Logic Far Behind]]> The woman-versus-cave-monster movie The Descent now has a sequel. Which appears to have characters from the original venturing back into danger, because well, they had to get them back in there somehow.


So, before I really get into it, just read the synopsis:

Distraught, confused, and half-wild with fear, Sarah Carter emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where she encountered unspeakable terrors. Unable to plausibly explain to the authorities what happened - or why she's covered in her friends' blood - Sarah is forced back to the subterranean depths to help locate her five missing companions.

As the rescue party drives deeper into uncharted caverns, nightmarish visions of the recent past begin to haunt Sarah and she starts to realize the full horror and futility of the mission. Subjected to the suspicion and mistrust of the group and confronted once more by the inbred, feral and savagely ruthless Crawlers, Sarah must draw on all her inner reserves of strength and courage in a desperate final struggle for deliverance and redemption.

Any excuse for a rematch with the Crawlers seems like a good idea, but the premise pushes logic beyond its breaking point. Basically, if the local authorities suspected Sarah of murdering all her (very active and healthy) besties in a cave, there is no way in hell they'd take her down there again. Plus let's not even touch on the subject that she's on a verge of a mental collapse — so let's plunge her in darkness again... Like this won't backfire.

The logic-defying film comes out the 14th of October.

<![CDATA[New Descent 2 Stills Put The Ladies Back In The Cave]]> Break out your caving gear and skin-tight wiggle suits — the girls are going back into the cave. Well, just one girl really, because all the others are dead... or are they?


The Descent 2 will be screening at London's Fright Fest, and if you're in the area, you should definitely go. I haven't seen it yet, but if it's anything like the original (even though it has a new director) it will be fantastic. I've gone through two DVDs of the original, and it's still never getting old. Also, I think we all know who is still alive in that cave, and I cannot wait to see her face off, crazy-pants style, with bats-o Sarah.

Terror mounts as fear cuts deeper in the chilling continuation to the globally successful horror hit THE DESCENT. Dazed, confused and traumatized, Sarah Carter emerges alone from the cave system where she confronted frightening enemies: herself and her darkest dread. With no rational explanation to what exactly happened or why she's covered in blood, the authorities force her back into the subterranean depths to help locate her five missing girlfriends. But as the rescue party enters further uncharted domains, flashbacks start haunting Sarah as shocking memories of the recent past hideously hit home. Only she realizes the full horror of their futile mission. And only she knows what lurks to trap them in the eerie shadows of the labyrinthine warrens. For they are venturing into the habitat of a new tribe of Crawlers, inbred, deformed and even more viciously feral than Sarah faced before in the black recesses of her worst nightmares.

<![CDATA[Behind The Scenes With The Cave Crawlers Of Descent 2]]> The BBC caught a behind the scenes peek on the set of The Descent 2. From the quick snippets you can see, it looks like one of the girls trapped inside the cave is still alive and kicking. Click through to see which one.

Check out the long haired lady in the black and pink vest wielding the axe — looks like Juno (Natalie Jackson Mendoza). That's the same vest and the same axe that Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) hacked into Juno's leg with. Bet Sarah will be surprised when she finds her down there. Also the interview with Shauna Macdonald covered in blood and talking about the beauty of the old studio is hilarious.
