The greatest movie ever made..!
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The claustrophobia and suspense from the first movie can never be reproduced, but did they have to go out of their way to make this the LEAST claustrophobic and the MOST predictable movie of all times. Even the scene where one of the party members got caved in was less claustrophobic or scary than the silverfish infected kitchen in my first studio apartment. The plot twist in the end was literally the most obvious in the history of storytelling. As soon as old man Ed Oswald in the beginning of the movie reveals that his grandfather was lost in the mines, your first thought will inevitably be: "Oh, then he's probably feeding the monsters or something"The last clip of the movie, with a crawler jumping at the screen, was quite simply an insult to the intelligence of the viewers.Seriously. Why.And on a final note, why would every party member use two flashlights at all times as well as plenty of glowsticks and flares, when light is more important than water, and battery life is scarce as it is?
View MoreThat's exactly what this movie is. A sequel. It's the same movie but there's guys in it now. And spoiler. They die too. It's mediore. Some decent action shots. The creatures just aren't as frightening now that you know the potential. Watch if you're bored. Skip if you care about your movie watching moments.
View MoreDo you think it's a coincidence that this film is set in the Appalachian Mountains of the US? (Filmed in Britain.)That section of the country is the inbred/incest capital of the US. (And maybe the civilized world.)These creatures are the result of decades of hillbillies discarding the unwanted children in a cave - sometime in the past. They continue to breed, and multiply. They evolve into blind, deformed "humans."The old man at the end of the film, is a member of the "family," who drags the animals to the hole, to feed his "kin.""Surface humans" have only entered the cave a few times (thus the cave drawings, and old equipment in the first film, found by the women). The cave dwellers simply see invaders as more food.
View MoreI revisited the 1st film last night and realized there was a part 2 after enjoying the 1st one. The Descent ( 1) is an amazing film. Lovely soundtrack with variety, good scenes, plot, likeable characters and believable reactions. Its a dark, creepy horror thriller and very well executed.Only gripe I have with it is how stupid the one chick is, going to explore an uncharted cave system with a bunch of amateurs. Disaster waiting to happen. Other than that... its very enjoyable. HOWEVER. Along comes part 2 and not only is it copy and pasting the living hell out of the 1st movie. But its done in such a cliche, retarded way that makes me lose braincells just by thinking about it. The blonde chick from the 1st movie escapes. Is picked up and traumatized causing her to lose her memory. 2 cops appear, one is a kind officer trying to understand, the other is an old, stubborn, 2 dimensional thinking BUFFOON WHO has 1 god damn facial expression the entire god damn film. He thinks she killed everyone and drags her traumatized mind out of the hospital, back Down into the cave. Entering a region of this uncharted place, removing a barricade of wooden boards, covering a consealed passage and asks her " Do you recognize anything" I could actually feel my annoyance level rise from 1 to 1000000 by just writing that. THE ROOM WAS WALLED UP. BARRED! HOW THE HELL WAS SHE SUPPOSED TO GET IN THERE IN THE 1st PLACE?But thats not the worst thing. Ooooooh no. Behold, pure god damn pandemonium of idiocracy when the officer, before venturing down this cave is told" Dont bring your gun. Firing it is like exploding dynamite. " But ohh no. Mr, I can't do no wrong, experienced policeman stereotype of course does NOT listen and fires his gun 5 minutes later, causing the god damn cave to collapse......The plot goes on, they find the bodies of the former girls and more. People die because they have to die, nobody is likeable at all. Its horror tropy. thats it. Whole Family of 3 rescue workers are killed without much thought put into it. Although we are given the idea of a relevant subplot happening. Nope. Just meat for the grinder. Later as they are trying to survive ( 2 girls and 1 officer lost in the dark," They come across Juno. The pro chick from the 1st movie that survived. Okay. Interesting. Are we gonna get revenge? Sure. In some form. But its quickly forgotten ( and for the better too) The police dude rejoins with Juno and the others and begin working their way out. But although the dumb FOOL of an officer ALREADY ENCOUNTERED THE VAMPIRE MONSTERS.... he still somehow... thinks that the blonde chick is to blame for the murders. And decides to handcuff her.... as they are trying to survive this HORDE of monsters chasing them. If you are not face palming, wanting to strangle this moron... you should be. Lord knows I am. By GOD is it annoying to Watch. he eventually dies by falling. Which could've ALSO been avoided because the blonde chick told him " Its unstable. We better go 1 by 1" Nope. Ofc not. He must be that strong, can't do no wrong, I'm always right, baddy policeman" And that gets him killed... when he falls and Juno tells the other chick " His partner" to cut off his hand using a pickaxe because he was pulling them all Down as they held on to the blonde girl. She proceeds to do so. They venture on. Juno dies, the blonde chick commits suicide trying to save the police chick and she escapes... only to get SLAMMED IN THE FACE BY A SHOVEL... from some redneck dude that feeds his vampire buddies....for reasons never remotely explained. The End. Jumpscare. What a PILE OF INSULTING GARBAGE. A movie for stupid people with zero expectations. Rating this anywhere above 5 is a crime to the most basic of movie making. God damn. I got angry watching this because the 1st film is so fantastic. THEY EVEN RECYCLED THE SAME MUSIC OVER AND OVER: Literally... this film has 2 music tracks. One aggressively phased one during fights. and then... the sorrow packed one from the 1st film that plays over...and over...and over...and over till you pull your god damn hair out.5.8 out of 10 ? Haha. Yeah sure.... just like The Last Jedi or Justice League deserves a 10 out of 10. Give me a break. 3 out of 10. Offers NOTHING new. Rips off existing content, destroys characters and replaces them with stupid dislikable ones. Ignores subplots. Emphasis on purely gore and stereotypes. And worst of all... is the generic, typical cliché where you include the evil red neck .... which is just so chainsaw massacre, Wrong Turn alike... MEH. Seriously. The vampires were mysterious in the 1st film. Along comes the 2nd one and we got some backwater hick feeding them... ultimately RUINING them. Making them out of mindless dumb animals rather than semi- intelligent, evil vampires. God damn. What a total trainwreck of a movie. I will forget this exists and enjoy the 1st one. This HAS NO BUSINESS EXISTING. AT ALL:
