The Descent getting a sequel




According to Variety, production begins shortly on a sequel to the 2006 horror film The Descent.

Neil Marshall will not be returning as director. Instead, Jon Harris, the first film's editor, is taking the directorial reigns.

The sequel will continue where the original left off as a rescue group goes searching for the women who never returned from a cave exploration trip after being attacked and killed by the beasties within the cave.

Hopefully, the sequel will retain the claustrophic, gut-wrenching tension of the original and resist becoming a B-movie along the lines of "The Cave," the other 2006 film about cave monsters, replete with terrible acting and cheesy special effects. That movie belonged on The Sci-Fi Channel, not in theatres!
