As an episode of " The Descent ", " The Descent 2" has extended the effects of bloody blood and blood plasma spurting in the previous episode, and has made it even more tragic to the extreme. This time, Jon Harris , who served as the editor in the first film, took over the guide tube from Neil Marshall and became the director of the film, which was also his feature film debut. The starring actors of the film such as Shauna Macdonald , Natalie Jackson Mendoza, etc., as well as the photographic soundtrack, all use the first production team. Regarding the transition from editor to director, Jon Harris believes that it is not actually a qualitative leap, because both use images to speak, and there is no difference in essence. The only thing he learned is that the director must have a sense of responsibility. Dealing with more affairs, changing from editor to director, actually just makes myself a more troublesome and stressful character.
The "part 2" in the title implies that the film did not create a brand new story, but was after the first one. However, audiences who have watched the first one know that the film did not even leave any room for the episode, because At the end of the movie it is implied that no one has escaped. Director Jon Harris has his own understanding of why the episode was filmed and how the plot will be developed more logically. "After any film is successful, I hope to make a comparable episode, but no one I wanted to make a cheap episode and ruin the audience’s good memories of the previous work. So the producer found me because I was responsible for editing the first film. I had a better idea of the whole film than others. This It is an interesting and very challenging task. I tend to continue filming from the end of the first part. Of course, we can find a whole new group of actors and let them go to another cave, but that’s the same as the first part. The similarities and the minor differences are totally unnecessary. So we focused on the cave rescue and the story of Sarah."
In view of the fact that the first movie has already let the audience know the truth of the story well, and the mysterious cave monster is no longer a reason for horror, so Jon Harris tried to construct the story in another way, starting from the audience's expectation of how the film will develop. Continue to tell Sarah's story, so at the end of the second part, the audience can truly feel the whole process Sarah went through, from the death of her husband and daughter to her final ending. He said that cave monsters are not the focus of the movie. They only exist in the depths of human nature. Together with claustrophobia, they arouse people's most primitive resistance. At this time, you can discover that people can really do something for others and for themselves. what.
