* RevisedEnding: Based on the [[DVDCommentary Director's Commentary]] and an [[http://hubpages.com/hub/THE-DESCENT-2-coverage early script review]], the ending may have originally lacked its current ShockingSwerve. If so, it was definitely a failed AuthorsSavingThrow.

!!This film provides examples of:

* ActionSurvivor: When Sarah sees Dan and Rios being stalked unawares by a Crawler, she doesn't attack the Crawler or try to shout out a warning. Rather, she [[spoiler:tackles Rios and keeps her from making a sound while the Crawler attacks and kills Dan, then stealthily grabs Greg's supplies off of his body while the Crawler drags his corpse away.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Sheriff Vaines]]
* BadassGrandpa: Sheriff Vaines gets a jump scare with a Crawler leaping out screaming. His reaction? Punch it in the face and knock it down.
* CallBack: [[spoiler:Rios']] escape is nearly a shot-for-shot remake of the first movie's ending.
* ChainedHeat: Vaines chains himself to Sarah partway through the movie to keep her from running away.
* CoversAlwaysLie: Not so much the cover, but the blurb, which promises "a new tribe of crawlers, inbred, deformed and even more viciously feral". Nope, same old Crawlers as the first movie.
* CruelTwistEnding: See ShockingSwerve.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: KillEmAll, much like the original.]]
* FinalGirl: Elen
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Sarah, she starts screaming to protect Elen from crawlers and gets eaten by them]]
* HollywoodDarkness: The sequel forgoes pitch-blackness for silhouette shots in most cases
* NeverFoundTheBody: Exploited to [[strike:not]] explain [[spoiler:Juno's]] survival after the events of the first movie.
* NotQuiteDead: Much like Beth in the first movie, [[spoiler:Greg]] proves to be not quite dead when he grabs [[spoiler:Juno]] on their way out.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Sarah and Juno]] have learned from each other that the easiest way to survive is to make sure that the others die. By the end of the film, they've both executed self-sacrifices to allow others to live.
* RevisedEnding: Based on the [[DVDCommentary Director's Commentary]] and an [[http://hubpages.com/hub/THE-DESCENT-2-coverage early script review]], the ending may have originally lacked its current ShockingSwerve. If so, it was definitely a failed AuthorsSavingThrow.
* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:Greg]] tackles one of the Crawlers into a chasm to give [[spoiler:Cath]] a chance to get to the other side whereupon she's killed by a Crawler on the other side. Admittedly, he was probably dying at the time due to having had the side of his neck torn out.
* ThisIsADrill: Greg uses a power drill in his kit to kill one of the crawlers by drilling into its head.
* TookALevelInBadass: Once she recovers her memory, Sarah regains all of her levels in Badass. [[spoiler:Juno]] isn't far behind.
* VasquezAlwaysDies: [[spoiler:Juno and Sarah.]]
* WildChild: [[spoiler:Juno]] initially seems to have reverted to this in her survival. She gets better.
