The Descent: Part 2

Sarah, the lone survivor of part 1, is forced to join a group of three rescue climbers and two police officers to recover her three missing friends. Sarah has forgotten pretty much everything of the last two days she spent in the exhaustive cave system beneath the Appalachian mountains and the general idea is that maybe the familiar surroundings trigger her memory.

All psychologically sound, I'm sure.

Soon enough, the first body is recovered and as the group ventures deeper into the caves, they soon end up splitting up and one not-so-well-thought-out gunshot sends stones falling and cutting them off and spreading them out even more.

The creatures in the systems - ugly, deaf things - are still on the hunt for food throughout the caves and the group is fair game. Predictably, they all fall victim one by one until they encounter June, previously presumed dead but very much alive. The last survivors are June, Sarah and the local police woman. The can see the light coming from an exit not so far ahead but full off those hideous creatures. June dies first (finally) and Sarah yells to attract the creatures to give the policewoman a head start.

She does make it out into the woods but meets a very frustrating end, nonetheless, hit in the face by a shovel (courtesy of a helpful local from early on in the film who looked suspicious right away) and dragged back to the cave opening.
