Descent 2 brief story

The expedition into the mountain caves continues! The last time was to survive only one girl, but police at all costs to find out what happened. Sarah does not remember the events of those days and the sheriff decides to go in search of the missing girls, the only suspect in the murder of surviving.
Sometime ago, the year in 2005 or 2006 I was fortunate enough to see the first part of this film. Then the movie made a lasting impression. I am a connoisseur of horror, but not those in which the entire film revolve around the usual dismemberment, mountains of corpses and blood sprays in all directions. Horror is to keep the viewer constantly under stress, so out of fear of people listened to what was happening around him, that he shuddered to every sound. And believe me, watch this film the best one, and late at night, so you will experience many more.
So, after five years of director Neil Marshall's place took John Harris, for whom film was a debut. The second part is closely related to the first, so refresh the impression all the same it is necessary. Note that no memory, namely, experience. Forget the movie will be very difficult.
The only survivor from the last part of the girl returned to continue the descent. Now in its team of professionals will be only one scanner only cost a lot of sound to the whole team.
But the second part of this is not cool, but still a continuation of the first, so we know what will happen to a team of people out there in the dark. Conscious of this, John Harris emphasized the element of surprise. Now, watching the characters in the picture is constantly waiting for that person is about to turn and meet eyes with a "dead" as they called one of the characters. In the movie was much more trash for the most part of which could and avoided.
The film's director is surely the best copies of the first part. We were again waiting for all of the same cave, the same mountain of bones, and a sea of ​​blood. "Dead" were far more bloodthirsty and powerful. But the main disadvantage of the film - a very long entry. It seems to me, but I could do without all this banalschiny as investigation and interrogation. Horror movie should scare the first minutes of the film, but not the 40 minutes. I agree, a sequel after the finale of the first part was difficult, and even more unexpected is one of the main events of the film.
Sean McDonald playing well in the first film, as well, and showed itself in the second. In her game, her feelings start to believe myself watching her suffering. Natalie Jackson Mendoza did not expect to see in this film. It appears to us already rather feral, accustomed to life in darkness and laws.
In general, we have a worthy continuation of the first part. It's no wonder the film won the title «The Descent: Part 2", and not «The Descen 2." Its as if divided into two parts, showing us a continuation of the events after reaching the surface. But the ending is not clear. The film can be complete without harm to 3 minutes before to ignore the fact that it has been shown.
Verdict - fans must watch the first part, but if you're not happy with the first descent, this part can not watch.

I do not think that the "second slope" - a worthy sequel. As always happens after a successful start of many things, make a sequel, which is considerably inferior. I have not seen the old psychological "stress", but more detailed "features" Gollum .. The sequel went blank horror to rivers krovischi.A obviously made a final calculation of further sequels, not the other.
