I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The acting in this movie is really good.
I was expecting some answers to the first movie. I loved the first movie. I don't think they even needed a part 2....but since there was one, i wanted to watch. Loved the opening scene. Would have been interesting to see the non US version opening scene. While I still think it was stupid for Sarah to go back n the caves, I see the purpose of it towards the end of the movie. Her sacrifice for the other mother.Also the final scene, huh ? Not sure how to end it though. Plenty of jump scares, gore, creepy stuff and tension makes this still a good horror flick.
That'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.
I loved the first one. This one had the challenge of no "reveal" of the monster, as we knew what was coming. For the most part, still lots of scares, and Juno showing up was cool. But for Sarah to sacrifice herself for the cop (which she knew was a mother), only for said cop to be hit in the head with the guy in the NY Yankees cap (which also didn't make sense...I dare you to find somebody in rural NC wearing a NY Yankees cap), and sacrificed to the dwellers...that just jacked up the ending. I thought the ending would have been better had the cop just gone home and not turned into food. I suppose it was a set up for a possible Decent 3, which has clearly never happened...probably for good reason. Story should have been done with this one. Still worth watching.
I 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:
