One thing that made the original so good was the characters, the suspense and the growing tension. The monsters didn’t show up until around half way through or the final third. It was an exciting film of woman Vs. nature in itself. The promo trailer for the sequel looks like Aliens only this time in a cave. I’m not quite sure why Sarah would want to go back down there after all she went through, but I suppose she lost her family, friends; she has little left to lose (only her life).

So yes. It could be entertaining. I liked the original very much so the idea of a sequel once I saw the UK ending intrigued me. But the more I think about it, the less excited I am. Because the original seemed passionately produced and Neil Marshal isn’t directing this time around. Then again after seeing the utterly entertaining trash of Doomsday, it may be best that way.

It would be impressive if the new cast and crew nail the sequel, creating a rush of a film, a great follow up that doesn’t copy off the original or Aliens per say, but introduces various other villains in the caves including a super boss villain (in a not cheesy way but completely frightening), thus taking the viewer deeper down into the labyrinth of caves and darkness more than ever before.
