NEIL Marshall’s The Descent was one of the best horror films of recent years; Jon Harris’ sequel is, sadly, one of the worst. Whereas Marshall’s lean, claustrophobic chiller was high on originality and nerve-shredding tension, Harris’ follow-up is a formulaic retread that offers nothing new to the original and even detracts from the memory of it.

Emerging from the cave system alone, distraught and covered in the blood of her missing companions, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) is incoherent and half-wild with fear.
