It was once known, quite stupidly, as THE DE2CENT. Then, as THE DESCENT 2. Now, the folks over at Pathe Films have racked their collective brains and come up with a title that not only surpasses those two, but elevates the whole art of titling a sequel: THE DESCENT: PART TWO. I’ve got chills just looking at that colon.
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 film stars Shauna Macdonald, Natalie Mendoza, Gavan O’Herlihy, Joshua Dallas, Nora-Jane Noone, and a gaggle of scary cave monsters.
Lionsgate will be distributing the Jon Harris-directed horror flick – hopefully in 2009. (For an new image from the film that promises us spelunker helmets, click it HERE.)
