Much more character development, suspense, and it is quite the page turner. I guess the movie makers thought they got away with it the first time, so why not just blatantly rip off the characters too with no credit? Anyhoo, both Descent movies are well worth watching if you're a horror fan, but if you're also a reader please pick up Jeff Long's novel as well. The second movie, DP2, uses the more humanoid vicious cave creatures based on the Hadal characters created by Jeff Long. (See and read "The Green Mile" by Stephen King). The book is, as is mostly, but not always the case, better than movies based on it. All came out way after the publication of the book. That book is so good, I went searching for a movie by that name, and sure enough there are now at least 3: the 2 "Descents," and "The Cave". I rated these two movies 7 and 6 stars respectively, but I also own the novel of the same name by Jeff Long, published in 1999 (hardback) and 2001 (paperback).
