What an absolute turd.

Artistically. Commercially. Dramatically. POINTLESS. Yes, I knew going in the basic premise; yet, instead of opting for some sub-ALIENS fun, however, it's to the 2005 original what BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES is to its predecessor. BUT WITHOUT THE BOMB-WORSHIPPING MUTANTS.

Nor is there ANY sense of irony that Sarah and Juno both come back from the dead only to die all over again. There's some token gubbins about redemption towards the end but it in no way justifies the film's existence. If Shauna MacDonald really must reprise her role then bloody-well have her join the crawlers.

And the ending makes absolutely NO bastard sense.

Grrr.
Not sure if pervert or cheesecake expert.

I was pretty astounded when I heard they were making a sequel to The Descent. Saw the first one at a mate's place after a night of drunken debauchery. Thought it was utterly awful, nasty, schlocky rubbish.

And yet there was somehow an appetite for more of this? I don't get it.

From what I gather, the sequel is pretty much a rehash of the first movie. Again I say: I don't get it.

I don't usually come down hard on a movie, but I really thought part one was dismal enough. A sequel just seems totally gratuitous to me. My mind boggles.

Eyes without life... sundered heads... piles of carcasses...these are pleasing words to me...
