The Descent 2 gets a rating and a release date

The BBFC (British board of film classification) has seen the film and have spoken –

“The Decent: Part 2 has been classed as ‘18’ (equivalent “R” in the U.S). Consumer advice: Contains strong gore, violence and horror. This work was passed with no cuts made.”

18 is great news for this kind of film.

The Decent 2 is tipped to open in the U.K on 9th October 2009. No word yet on the U.S rating or release date.

Distraught, confused, and half-wild with fear, Sarah Carter emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where she encountered unspeakable terrors. Unable to plausibly explain to the authorities what happened - or why she''s covered in her friends'' blood - Sarah is forced back to the subterranean depths to help locate her five missing companions. As the rescue party drives deeper into uncharted caverns, nightmarish visions of the recent past begin to haunt Sarah and she starts to realize the full horror and futility of the mission. Subjected to the suspicion and mistrust of the group and confronted once more by the inbred, feral and savagely ruthless Crawlers, Sarah must draw on all her inner reserves of strength and courage in a desperate final struggle for deliverance and redemption.

Billy is Surviving Evil - He's a cool dude

Terence Daw's Surviving Evil stars Billy Zane and The Descent's Natalie Mendoza fighting some nasty creatures.. The film premieres in South Africa this July with a followed by a UK release in September. No word yet on a U.S. release.

Billy Zane, one of the coolest actors out there who has never achieved the greatness he should have had. Mind you he has been in some really dire films. As Chisholm always said, he would have made a great Bruce Wayne / Batman back in the day. Plus my Wife can never understand why Kate Winslet would want to go with DiCaprio when she had the Zanester there all studly in his dinner jacket.

In this new film Zane is a TV survival host whose show taping on a remote Philipine island becomes that much more dangerous when they disturb the domain of an Aswang, a hideous ghoul of Filipino lore.

A TV documentary crew arrive on a remote island in the Philippines to film a survival special. Their back-to-the-wild adventure proves to be more terrifying than they ever could have imagined.

Descent 2 - Trailer

Doesn't look as if the embedded version below is working just now. Bloody Disgusting have it up on their site if you want to take a look at it. There's no way she'd head back to them thar caves!

Descent 2 - Photos from the sequel...Here be beasties!

The Descent by Neil Marshall was a scary, spooky and depressing horror film from 2005. Jon Harris (editor on Snatch, Stardust and Kick-Ass) is making his directorial debut with The Descent 2. Ollie Upton’s website had these lovely images from the film.
“Terror mounts and fear runs deeper in the chilling continuation to Neil Marshall’s award-winning and critically acclaimed modern horror classic, The Descent. Distraught, confused and half-wild with fear, Sarah Carter (SHAUNA MACDONALD) emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where she encountered unspeakable terrors. Unable to plausibly explain to the authorities what happened - or why she’s covered in her friends’ blood - Sarah is forced back to the subterranean depths to help locate her five missing companions. As the rescue party drives deeper into uncharted caverns, nightmarish visions of the recent past begin to haunt Sarah and she starts to realize the full horror and futility of the mission. Subjected to the suspicion and mistrust of the group and confronted once more by the inbred, feral and savagely ruthless Crawlers, Sarah must draw on all her inner reserves of strength and courage in a desperate final struggle for deliverance and redemption.”



The Descent 2 is due out here in the UK in May 2009.

Are you a fan of the first film? Do you feel there is a need for a sequel and does the story sound as if it takes away some of the power from the original?
