Film School Rejects: Descent Heads Back Into the Cave

  • Rob Hunter · 1 year ago
    I screamed, jumped, and wet my knickers during the original Descent... I don't expect to do at least two of those during the sequel. I won't ask why they're making a sequel ($$$), but I gotta ask who exactly is Sarah heading back in there to save? Her friends are all dead, eaten, digested, and excreted by now... with the possible exception of Juno (the fine Natalie Mendoza)... who I don't really see her going back to save.

    You're right in hinting pretty loudly that money is the reason. The original was made for $10 mil and grossed something like $57 mil. Pretty nice cash, especially for an indie outfit. The sequel's budget is $10 mil again, and I think they could draw in a fairly solid amount.

    I think the sequel could still be done well. Not everyone's dead. Plus, they have to up the ante somehow. Let's hope she leads some of those crawlers out of the cave.

    What the hell? Is she going back to retrieve their corpses or something? Or are we suppose to forget that we watched each of them die?

    Cole, the only one we never saw die (though we heard her death off screen) was Juno, who she left to die, why would she go back to rescue her?

    Scariest movie in a long time
