Six women made the first descent. But mere hours after escaping the horrors down in the Appalachian caves, sole survivor Sarah (Shauna MacDonald) is plunged back into the nightmare on the search for her missing companions. Those of a claustrophobic, squeamish or nervous disposition are advised to stay above ground for a gruesomely effective sequel that aims to make you jump out of your skin at least once every five minutes… when you’re not looking for the sick bucket.

Plot: The sequel will continue the story of Sarah, who as the only survivor of an all-female caving expedition gone horrifically wrong, suffers severe psychological trauma. Unable to speak, she accompanies a rescue team back to the cave, but events once again take a sinister turn.

THE DESCENT 2 picks up immediately after the events depicted in THE DESCENT Sarah (MacDonald), emerges alone from a cave system following an expedition with her five friends in the Appalachian mountains. Distraught, injured and covered in the blood of her missing companions, Sarah is incoherent and half-wild with fear. Skeptical about her account of events and convinced Sarah’s psychosis hides far darker secrets, Sheriff Vaines forces her back into the caves to help locate the rest of the group. Trapped by falling rocks, the rescue party are driven deep into the caverns, and as one by one the fate of the missing girls is revealed, Sarah is forced to confront her deepest fears.
