Directed by John Harris and written by J Blakeson and James McCarthy, Shauna Macdonald returns as Sarah, continuing the story of 2005’s hugely successful horror thriller The Descent (directed and written by Neil Marshall), in which a group of young women disappear during a caving trip in the Appalachian Mountains. Emerging from the cave system alone, distraught and covered in the blood of her missing companions, Sarah is incoherent and half-wild with fear. Sceptical about her account of events and convinced Sarah's psychosis hides far darker secrets, Sheriff Vaines (Gavan O’Herlihy) doesn’t waste time. Along with his partner Rios (Krysten Cummings), and their cave rescue team Dan (Douglas Hodge), Greg (Joshua Dallas), and Cath (Anna Skellern), Vaines insists Sarah goes back into the caves to help the rescuers find her friends. The Descent won best horror at the Empire awards in 2006 and only time will tell how this sequel will rank alongside it.
