Director Neil Marshall recently touched on “The De2cent”, the upcoming sequel to “The Descent” (2005). The first film was truly scary and instantly became a worldwide success. I can only agree with the 7.4 rating over at IMDb – this is a very good horror movie.

Back to the sequel. ShockTillYouDrop tells us that Neil is overseeing the follow-up’s progress in some capacity. He will not write or direct, but he does have an open line of communication with the producers.

“I’ve got a few story ideas, they’ve got a few story ideas and we’re just throwing them into the mix,” he says.

One possible direction is to pick up with Shauna Macdonald’s “Sarah,” that is, if she didn’t die at the end of the first film. “Shauna just had a baby so she’s not gonna be ready to film for a bit,” Marshall adds. “As far as I’m concerned, there’s only one way to take her character, she has to die. If we didn’t kill her at the end of the first film, we have to kill her at the end of the second one,” Marshall laughs.

Ok, so Sarah must die… well must she really? The only complaint people in general had about the “The Descent” was the ending. The horrible ending… I kind of liked it but I can see why many people didn’t. You hoped, and believed, that Shauna Macdonald’s character would make it.

Bring me a sequel. I don’t care about the end. Even if it’s only half as good as the first one it will still be a treat.
