Remy – The Descent: Part 2
Has there EVER been a horror movie that needed a sequel LESS than The Descent? I think not. The movie was pretty much perfect, but of course, it did incredibly well, so Hollywood and the major studios demanded a sequel. And what did we get? The single stupidest decision I have EVER seen made in a horror movie. That’s the basis of the whole story.Descentand The Descent: Part 2as well, so read on with caution.In part one, one woman survives (and if you see the REAL ending, the funny thing is, she doesn’t) and she is taken off to the hospital. Well, she’s covered in blood and says all her friends are dead down there, so what do the local police do? They make her gear up and go back down into the hole. Immediately.
Wait, what?
I’m sorry, but she clearly displays traits of PTSD. Even if she was suspected in the murders (which is what’s implied here), there is NO law agency that would engage in such stupid behavior, and that’s the basis for the whole film. What do you think happens when she goes back into the hole? Spoiler alert: Every single person she goes in with, including herself, dies. Therefore, that makes the entirety of both films completely pointless, and part two just ends up playing like a remake of part one. Way to shit on a neo-classic, guys. Also, it is implied in the film that the creatures have a “caretaker,” a human who brings them humans as food, and then traps the humans down there.
Wait, again, are you kidding me? The most feral, terrifying creatures in the last decade of horror, and you give them a f*cking human caretaker, for no reason, with no backstory?
The Descent: Part 2 is, literally, everything that is wrong with the very concept of sequels.
That’s like making a sequel to The Exorcist. I mean, who would be stupid enough to make a..oh wait. That happened too, huh?
Wow.
