The Descent: Part 2
It was probably a mistake to watch both of the Descent films back to back, I really like the first film and the second one was OK, the problem with a lot of sequels is that they are just more of what you got in the original film, with The Descent: Part 2 there wasn't a lot more that could be done without pretty much ignoring the rules set up in the first film so in this case you spend most of the time re-treading familiar ground.
The Descent: Part 2 wasn't a horrible movie but they need to stop now, the last thing movie viewers need is another series of poor sequels to a good movie, I don't know if the stupid twist at the end is intended to set up a third film but that idea has been done before and done better.
Not a bad movie as such but this is hardly essential viewing even if you are a fan of the original.
