DVD Active has news that Lionsgate’s ‘The Descent Part 2′ is heading direct to DVD, despite a theatrical run in the UK. The sequel to Neil Marshall’s 2005 horror film is set for release on April 27th.

Read on for the synopsis.

Dazed, bloodied, and speechless with trauma, Sarah Carter emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where the events of ‘The Descent’ took place. Local sheriff Redmond Vaines forces her back underground to help the rescue team which is desperately searching for her five missing girlfriends. As the team moves deeper into the caves, Sarah’s flashes of fractured memory intensify and she begins to realize the full horror of the would-be rescue mission. Only Sarah knows the terror which lurks in the shadows of the caves. But they are about to encounter a new tribe of crawlers, inbred, deformed, and even more viciously feral than those Sarah faced before.
