The Descent was such an amazing horror movie that any followup movie was surely doomed to fail. A major aspect of the film’s appeal was its mystery. When I heard they were making a sequel and Neil Marshall was not attached I assumed it was just going to be a cash grabbing rehash of the original. However, after watching the first trailer (embedded below) the movie doesn’t look like it will be completely horrible. Yes, the surprise of what lurks in the caves is gone, but it looks like the rest of the excitement is there. I might consider watching this instead of passing on it like I had originally planned.
