Tensing up, the crawler rips into Juno's stomach, mortally wounding her. After that, Sarah sees that Juno is losing the battle to a crawler much larger than the others so attempts to strangle it from behind. The battle is tough, but Elen, Sarah and Juno kill a crawler each. Greg promptly dies and the women are left to fight off the crawlers. As they try to tip-toe around the crawlers, Juno is grabbed by a dying Greg, causing her to scream in surprise, gaining the attention of four crawlers. As they progress, Vaines falls over a ledge, almost taking Sarah with him, however she begs Juno to help her, which ends up in Juno ordering Elen to cut off Vaines' hand to save Sarah from falling as well.Īt the film's climax, Elen, Sarah and Juno reach the exit, but are blocked by a small group of crawlers. Vaines handcuffs Sarah to him so she cannot leave them to die like she did to Juno. Juno leads them off into the feeding pit, which she claims has a passage to the surface that the crawlers use to gather food from above the ground.
After the short scrap, they all decide it is best they work together to survive and escape. Juno, furious that Sarah left her behind, immediately engages in a fight with her. A fight ensues between Elen, Sarah, and a crawler with the two teaming up in order to kill it. Elen and Sarah crawl through a tunnel and, escaping a crawler, fall into a communal defecation grounds pool. Vaines is wandering around the cave and is about to be killed by a crawler before he is saved by Juno, who is revealed to be alive, though somewhat disturbed, and adept at hunting the crawlers. Thinking of her own daughter, Elen's words to hers make Sarah even more determined to escape. Elen reveals she has a daughter by recording a video message on her mobile phone in case she dies.
Greg falls into the chasm, whilst tackling a female crawler, and although Cath makes it to the other side, she is attacked and killed once she gets there.Įlen and Sarah wander deeper into the cave, and kill another crawler. They decide to try to use her to swing across the chasm, but are both attacked by crawlers. They travel deeper into the cave and find the corspe of Sam hanging above the chasm where she was killed in the first film. The two climb away from a crawler and use their radio to divert the pursuing crawler away from them. Later, Cath escapes from the rock choke and kills a crawler in the process, before running into a frightened Greg. The two then watch as a crawler attacks and kills Dan, ripping his throat open and dragging him away. The trio split, and Elen starts calling for help, alerting the crawlers to her location, but is stopped by Sarah, who warns Elen that the crawlers are blind and hunt via sound. Then, the three are attacked by a group of crawlers and separated. They watch the playback, which reveals the women were attacked by the cave dwelling 'crawlers'. Elen, Dan and Greg arrive in a room full of bones where they find the video camera used by Holly in the first film. Vaines pursues Sarah but eventually runs into a crawler and fires a shot that causes part of the cave to collapse, separating Cath from the rest of the group and trapping her within a rock choke. Further on, whilst crawling through a narrow tunnel in the caves, Sarah has a longer flashback of the previous events, and in a nervous panic, attacks Vaines, Greg and Elen and runs off deeper into the caves. Upon passing through the abandoned mine and into the caves, the group discovers the mutilated body of Rebecca, causing Sarah to have short flashbacks of the crawlers. The team members are sent down via an old mine shaft operated by the old, mysterious Ed Oswald (Michael J.
