Or does she have some magical, selective amnesia? Who knows? Wait, hang on a minute! I confess I only saw the first movie once and it was nearly four years ago, so I could be missing something here.
One would think the director, Jon Harris, would have a better grasp of this since he was an editor for the first film. One would think. In any case, the Sheriff is determined to launch a rescue mission for the other women. They decide to enter the caverns by way of an abandoned mine shaft, and they are led there by some local old guy.
He guides the crew to the mine entrance and tells a story about how his grandfather used to be a miner, and one day he entered the mine and never came back. As they make their way through the mines toward the caves where Sarah and her friends were trapped, she has occasional flashbacks and slowly regains her memory.
They soon come toward a narrow part of the cave that they have to crawl through to reach the other side. Geez, are they really going to recycle the cave-in from the first movie?
But as they crawl through, the flashbacks start hitting Sarah pretty hard and she suddenly freaks out, kicks the Sheriff in the face, and runs off. The rest of the crew makes it through the cave, but they briefly encounter a crawler. This results in a lot of screaming from everyone including the crawler and, sure enough, this causes a cave-in and they are now trapped.
Even if they went with the predictable route of the elevator malfunctioning, it would have been better than a carbon copy of the event that trapped them in the first movie.
So the crawler runs off and now everyone is trapped in the caves. They know this because they find one of their bodies which still has the video camera that captured the event, and Greg watches the scene that made me jump in the first film.
As if on cue, the crawler shows up again just after they see it on film and everyone runs for the hills. From here on, the crew are split up into a few groups, and the rest of the film is people fighting with, hiding from, or fleeing the crawlers. Sarah comes out of hiding to stop Rios from screaming for help since it will lead the crawlers right to her, and they are teamed up for the rest of the film. Greg gets picked off right away, right in front of Sarah and Rios.
As the crawler drags his corpse away, in footage that is quite clearly sped up for reasons unknown to me, Sarah sneaks up and grabs his backpack.
Presumably she grabs the camera as well since she has it in a later scene, though we never actually see her pick it up. What did I say about continuity? Anyway, as they try to cross a chasm they are ambushed by crawlers.
Dan ends up getting wounded by a crawler and falls into the chasm. You only see the shadows and some blood splatters. Believe it or not, Juno once again played by Natalie Mendoza is still alive, and with her trusty ice pick she saves the Sheriff from a pack of crawlers. She is clearly very disoriented and confused, acting almost crawler-like after being trapped with them for the last couple of days.
Meanwhile, Sarah and Rios have been crawling through narrow passages and swimming through an underground river of sorts. I wish I was making that up. But after fighting off some crawlers, they hear another one coming and quiet down to avoid being noticed. Sure enough, the crawler appears on a ledge above them, and he hangs his ass over the edge and lets it fly.
There are several complaints I have to make here. First of all, was it really necessary to have these two end up waist deep in a giant toilet? But when another crawler attacks Sarah, she suddenly flips the bravery switch, leaping into action and killing it, and her timidness is gone for the rest of the film. She also kills it with a hairpin to the neck, which is just silly. And finally, after wading through all of this water and…other liquids, all of their electrical devices are still working fine.
Sarah has no problem operating the video camera in a later scene, and that camera definitely does not look waterproof. Have you ever accidentally dropped a cell phone in a swimming pool?
Eventually, the four survivors meet up. This predictably backfires on him when they try to cross a narrow ledge overlooking another deep chasm and his dumb, uncoordinated ass slips and falls. With remarkably little hesitation and in one of the more brutal moments in the film, Rios obliges.
After several good whacks, the Sheriff falls to the bottom of the chasm with the crawlers, minus one hand. Insert Total Recall reference here. Remember how I said earlier that the ending really tarnished this movie? Rios, Sarah, and Juno reach the final room before the exit.
How the fuck is he still alive after that huge fall? Full of guilt and despair, Sarah tearfully closes Juno's eyes and places her necklace in her hand with the words "Love Each Day" engraved on the metal. As Sarah mourns for Juno's loss, Elen turns around to leave, but finds them surrounded by a large group of crawlers.
With nothing left to lose, Sarah, in a noble act of self-sacrifice, screams, drawing the attention of every crawler, allowing Elen a chance to escape.
Elen bursts through the exit of the cave, exactly how Sarah did when she originally escaped, and is about to call for help using her cell phone, before she is attacked by Ed, who hits her in the face with a shovel and drags her back to the entrance as food for the crawlers.
As Elen regains consciousness from the hit, a bloodied crawler jumps out of the entrance as the film ends and presumably takes her back into the cave. Shauna Macdonald as Sarah Carter. Natalie Mendoza as Juno Kaplan. Krysten Cummings as Ellen Rios.

Marshall received the first draft of the film in late July , with no directors or cast in mind. What modify means? What does it mean to claim descent? What is an example of dissent? What means decent person? Is decent a compliment? Is decent better than okay?
What is decent man? How can I get a decent guy? How can I become a decent man? What is another word for good person? Did Paul cheat on Sarah with Juno? Will there be a The Descent 3? Does Netflix have the descent? Is Juno alive in Descent 2? The Descent Part 2 is a very thrilling follow-up to the phenomenal horror film, but this sequel is full of curveballs and a conclusion that raises many questions.
The first The Descent movie throws a team of female friends into a spelunking expedition that turns into a fight for survival after a species of subterranean monsters are discovered in the caves. The Descent concludes with most of these friends meeting grisly ends by these crawlers, but Sarah seems to survive the traumatic event. The Descent 2 creates scares in a way that makes clever use of space and uses this claustrophobic environment in new ways. The rescue mission to find Sarah's friends turns sour very quickly and Dan and Cath, two of the trained spelunkers who have been assembled for the mission are the first to meet their ends by the crawlers.
Sheriff Vaines is handcuffed to Sarah so she won't abandon him, but after he becomes literal baggage, his hand gets cut off so that he and some crawlers will fall to their deaths, but Sarah can survive.
