/ LATE NIGHT SHOCKS

UK, 2009.
94 mins.
In true QUANTUM OF SOLACE style, this sequel to Neil Marshall's tense and claustrophobic subterranean horror THE DESCENT (2005) picks up the moment the previous film left off. Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) – sole survivor of an all-female caving expedition whose members fell victim to a race of vicious, cannibalistic creatures lurking in a remote Appalachian cave system – staggers out into daylight, traumatised and bloodied. But the local sheriff is dissatisfied with her crazed explanation of her companions' disappearance, and organises a rescue party, which he forces Sarah to join. Before long, rock falls drive the rescuers deeper underground, and Sarah's worst nightmare – the one from which she prayed she had awoken – begins to play out all over again... Executive produced by Marshall, THE DESCENT: PART 2 marks the directorial debut of Jon Harris, editor on a range of highly acclaimed projects, including SNATCH, EDEN LAKE and its predecessor, THE DESCENT.
