The Descent: Part 2 Director: Michael Dougherty USA 2008 95 min Book cinema tickets We’ve all been badly burned by unnecessary and inferior sequels to classic horror flicks old and new; we’re truly delighted to announce, however, that the keenly anticipated successor to 2005’s claustrophobic nightmare is a more-than-worthy successor to the original Descent, offering a suitably horrific finale to this year’s Horrorthon shenanigans. Without giving too much away, the brilliantly bleak conclusion to The Descent Part One an ending controversially tinkered with for U.S. audiences didn’t leave much scope to bring back its top-notch female ensemble for an encore. The Descent Part Two, however, still manages to reunite our cave-diving divas, amongst them Ireland’s own Nora-Jane Noone. How? We’re not telling. Let’s just say that the ever-resilient Sarah (Shauna McDonald) takes a return trip deep into those mutation-infested subterranean caves. And, as bad ideas go, it’s a doozy. Descent creator Neil Marshall has remained on board, in a hands-on capacity, as producer, ensuring that the nigh-upon-unbearable tension that made the original an instant classic is present and shockingly incorrect. You’ll have a blast. Director: Michael Dougherty USA 2008 95 min
