John raved about how good the Descent was, and he is actually looking forward to the sequel. I haven’t seen it yet, because I get uncomfortably claustrophobic. But if you wanna get creeped out, I would vote for that movie to do it.
I am a little skeptical because the sequel is being organized by different people. Its own creator didn’t want to go back, and that says something to me.
The sequel picks up where the first film left off (that is if you are following the events of the North American release of the original film). The story follows the return of a mute and unbalanced Sarah as she heads back down to the caves with a rescue party to locate the rest of her group. Of course, this being the ricketiest cave on earth, the group is soon trapped and left to deal with the nasties down below.
Now the premise for this movie kinda bothers me. The same character has some noble cause to go rescue her lost friends. But seriously.
She escaped certain death and a traumatic experience, so … lets go back?
If I managed to live through an experience like that it would only be to get other people to go back and get my friends for me.
She goes back and gets stuck… again. You gotta hate yourself after all that.
