The Descent: Part 2

Harris's direction is messy, favouring confusing set-piece scares over the all-important group dynamics.

As popcorn entertainment, it delivers, and should satisfy fans on all platforms.

Thank the sequel for underscoring, in its devastating mediocrity, just how great and special the original was to start with.

Doesn't come close to the original, but still manages to entertain.

By the standards set up by its predecessor, it's a letdown, but by the overall standards of horror sequels, it's a complete success.

You can practically see the film trying to "color between the lines" laid down in the first film, but there's just enough freshness to keep Part 2 chugging along.

With its back-and-forth plot pointing, illogical leaps in pragmatic believability, and a finale that flips a big fat middle finger at anyone who invested 90 minutes in this junk, The Descent 2 cannot hold a miner's candle to the original.

No one expected 'Part 2' to rival the original, but it delivers a fair number of scares while replicating the eerie tension from the first film.

You won't be missing anything spectacular if you don't catch The Descent: Part 2, for horror fans and those who enjoyed the original, however, it's definitely worth a go.

A claustrophobic, creepy popcorn flick that compensates for predictable scares with deliciously disgusting moments involving a whole spectrum of bodily fluids.

An uninspired retread of a horror classic, this tries hard to justify its existence... and fails.

It delivers the goods as they say. A third film is surely on the cards, no doubt in 3D. But in order to retain any good will, this series is going to have to do the one thing our Crawler friends have demonstrably failed to do. Evolve.
