The Descent Part 2

The Descent Part 2, a 2009 British adventure horror film, serves as the follow-up to the 2005 horror movie The Descent. Jon Harris directed it, working from a script co-written by James McCarthy, J Blakeson, and James Watkins. Christian Colson and Ivana MacKinnon produced the film, while Neil Marshall—who wrote and directed the original—acted as an executive producer. Filming took place in London and Surrey, and the movie hit UK theaters on 2 December 2009. In the United States, it skipped cinemas entirely and went straight to DVD on 27 April 2010.

Meanwhile, Cath frees herself and kills a crawler by crushing it under rocks. She meets Greg, and they escape another crawler, finding Samantha’s body hanging from the ceiling across a chasm. They try to swing across using her corpse, but crawlers attack. Greg sacrifices himself to give Cath time. She reaches the other side but breaks down, screaming Greg’s name, and a craw
