Monday Movie Review - THE DESCENT, Part 2

Notice the title says "Part 2"?  Not "The Decent 2".  That's because this isn't a second telling of the first movie.  It's a continuation.  In fact, it starts with only a couple of days having passed between the end of the original, and this one.

When the sole survivor emerges from the caves beneath the Appalachian Mountains, rescue workers force her to go back under to help rescue others of her party who may still be alive.
