So one by one the people meet their grizzly ends until Sarah, Ellen and Vaines are the only ones left, and they have an unexpected appearance by still alive original Juno Kaplan (Natalie Jackson Mendoza). Once again Sarah and the other remaining people are facing the deadly creatures known as crawlers, blind and not seeming to have a sense of smell they rely on their hearing to find and kill their victims. So they go down via a elevator, and they slowly make their way through the caves where they are believed to be last located, and of course soon enough a rock fall and some weird sounds confirm they are in danger. The team is composed of climbing experts and police including Dan (Douglas Hodge), Deputy Ellen Rios (Krysten Cummings), Greg (Joshua Dallas), Cath (Anna Skellern), and there seems to be no resilience from Sarah. Sheriff Vaines (Gavan O'Herlihy) has a few questions of what she knows about what happened to her six female friends while they were down there, and with no real response from the blood covered girl, and believing she may have murdered them, she is forced to join him and a team back in the caves. Basically, starting where the last one left off, Sarah Carter (Shauna Macdonald) has emerged out of the Appalachian cave system below distraught, confused and trembling from fear, and has been taken straight to hospital. The first film was a not too bad dark British horror, literally, I thought when I saw the cover that this was a straight to DVD feature, but I forgot seeing a cinema trailer, so I did watch it.
Title (Brazil): "Abismo do Medo 2" ("Abyss of the Fear 2") The best line is the moment when Sarah tells Rios that "it is just the mind playing tricks on you". The terrible conclusion with the intention to give a hook to a sequel (or prequel, since the creatures might be relatives of the old man and other families of miners) is awful.
However, Sheriff Vaines is an imbecile character and his stupid attitudes, taking Sarah that is wounded and in shock to return to the underground, shooting in the cave and cuffing Sarah in a tense moment, are so absurd that ruin the plot. Unfortunately "The Descent: Part 2" is a stupid sequel of a good story that could have worked. "The Descent" is a scary, claustrophobic, tense and gore story, and a psychological study of the characters under a huge condition of stress, deteriorating the relationship among them.
The trapped group sooner faces the hunger and savage breed of predators while trying to find a way out.
They search deeper and deeper in the caves but when Sarah recovers her memory, she panics and Sheriff Vaines shoots, provoking a cave-in. Sheriff Vaines (Gavan O'Herlihy) suspects that Sarah has killed her friends and forces her to return to the Boreham Caves together with his Deputy Rios (Krysten Cummings) and the rescue team.
