Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) syöksyy Appalakeilla sijaitsevasta luolaverkostosta sekavana, verissään ja kauhusta villinä. Paikallisella šeriffillä on epäilyksensä hänen kertomastaan ja hän on vakuuttunut, että naisen psykoottinen tila kätkee synkkiä salaisuuksia taakseen. Sarah pakotetaan palaamaan luoliin auttamaan hänen kadonneiden ystäviensä etsinnöissä. Pelastuspartio ei voi aavistaa, että syvyydessä vaanii uusi verenjanoisten saalistajien rotu, joka on kehittyneempi ja tappavampi kuin mikään mitä Sarah on koskaan kohdannut. (SF Film Fin.)

The ladies’ spelunking adventure continues. Those who ruin it are exclusively men. And the sharp-toothed freaks, from whom blood spurts wildly and is always beautifully visible compared to everything else bathed in darkness. If the first film was a descent into darkness, the sequel is a descent into shit. But it admittedly isn’t trying to be anything more noble than that. I was perversely amused, perhaps because I simply didn’t give a damn about how much muscle tissue any of the characters lost. 55%

The Descent: Part 2 is pretty strong in certain scenes, but not that great as a whole. I was satisfied at the beginning, the feeling of claustrophobia (well known from the first part) was there, the cave monsters didn’t take too long to show up, and I’d lie if I said I didn’t feel scared a couple of times. But there are a couple of moments in the script that are unforgivable and the behaviour of the characters almost killed me. That nut case of a sheriff can’t exist in the real world because he wouldn’t pass the psychological tests (assuming the Yanks have something like that, too). I didn’t like the ending, I didn’t like the reveal at the beginning of the third act, and I didn’t like the link to the first part (I could have been done without Sarah and it wouldn’t have been so weird). If I didn’t know Marshall’s gem, I’d have a positive feeling, but I do! 6/10

This traditional "a few hours later" sequel to doesn't provide anything fundamental to the history of the genre and it recycles several scenes (flashbacks) from the past. Paradoxically, though, it also doesn't offend. The caves are still just as constricting and the underground goblins are still cute and hungry. In a way, there’s nothing to reproach it for because the Part 2 aspect is perfectly fulfilled. It’s just too bad this film came second. Actually, it’s a surprise given the expectations. PS: There’s too much light in it, that's a fact.

The film tries for a fairly good finale, and it's clear that Jon Harris wanted something memorable, something that would look good and be in the spirit of great Hollywood sacrifice. This was fairly decent, and the ending is good. It has an epic scope and then it's killed off by a classic horror ending, which you might simply sigh at, but perhaps you'll also welcome it with the thought that this is how it should be.
