As the head of her own adult production company (Burning Angel Entertainment), Joanna Angel has directed more than 20 films and appeared in over 60.

Trailer: The Descent Part 2

29 August 2009 12:52 PM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »

Neil Marshall's The Descent enjoys a good standing amongst horror fans. When the low budget but high concept movie first came out in 2005, it gathered a lot of positive reviews from critics who praised the film's claustrophobic settings, mysterious creatures and a strong all-female group of characters. Instead of making a sequel Marshall went off to create Doomsday, his Scottish homage to Escape From New York and The Road Warrior and left the problem of constructing a second Descent to a different group of creative folk.

The jury is still out whether The Descent: Part 2 is decent or just a cash grab. We won't know until the first reviews from the film's British opening (scheduled for December 4) start arriving but for the time being we do have the new trailer to base our first impressions on courtesy of IGN.

A Bunch of Descent 2 Images Now Online

6 January 2009 10:57 AM, PST | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »

Here’s your first real look at The Descent: Part 2, the upcoming sequel to Neil Marshall’s 2006 horror flick. Marshall, who also helmed Dog Soldiers and Doomsday, is executive producing the sequel while directing duties have gone to Jon Harris. The project is Harris’ feature debut. He’s worked in the industry for over ten years as an editor on films like Snatch, Ripley's Game, Layer Cake, Stardust and the first Descent. The flick picks up right after the first, with Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) emerging 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. Natalie Jackson Mendoza, Krysten Cummings, Gavan O'Herlihy, Joshua Dallas, Anna Skellern and Douglas Hodge also star. »
