Two of the girls from the original cast return as search parties scour the Appalacian Mountains. Juno is a Senator's relative and garnishes the most attention for the search, while Sarah is forced to return to the treacherous caverns by local authorities to provide clues.
Unlike the great original, which was filled with scares, intrigue, mystery, and a strong female cast, the sequel gives us one new female character and a bunch of macho men. Gone is the psychological terror, though it is hinted at once when Sarah warns, "Don't worry. It's all in your mind."
Instead, the viewer is given a pretty weak back story, we even get to see one of the cave dwellers taking a shit, to secure that The Descent will always have straight to DVD and 3 a.m. showings of the upcoming parts 3-12. Sigh.
