The Descent

What? I did a search and no Descent? Shame, shame.

Anyway, I watched this movie last week and it was awesome. I typically do not like horror movies, but this one is set with an Aliens type atmostphere. It also had some great homages (such as Carrie and Deliverance). I highly recommend this horror/thriller film. Plus its much better than Marshall's crappy Dog Soldiers.

there is a thread. and yes the search function is shit. bring back the old search function

The person put Decent instead...

😆

The Descent was so gay.

Wow, little Smeagols attacking them 😆

And there is one man's ignorant opinion.

i think someone is lying 😛 http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f58/t352153.html

No, that was meant to be Descent but I messed up and never bothered to fix it.

I just saw it today. I liked it a lot. As a personal preference, I liked Dog Soldiers better, but I can understand anyone liking The Descent better.

My only beef with the movie was

Spoiler:
how long it took to introduce the crawlers. It took 40-60 minutes to bring them into the picture and by that time, the mood and theme should already be set, a thiller cave movie. It took them too long to introduce a supernatural element to the mix.

Also, the very end bothered me.

Spoiler:
What the hell was that in the passenger seat? What purpose did that give the film? It just seemed like an unnecessary five seconds.

Those were two very minor details that bothered me. Other than that, great movie. I'll be looking forward to Neil Marshall's next movie, and hopefully it'll get a earlier US release date.

They changed the ending for the American release, don't know why at all, the ending for the original British release is just fine.

Is that like the new word???????
'Gay'???? WTF?

That's like the most lousy expression EVER!

By the way The Descent was a great movie, Smeagols and all!

I'll have to see the American ending.

Could someone post the British ending?

I hope it'll be on the US DVD release.

Can't wait too see this movie, will be going next week when my friend, who also wants to see it, comes back from out of town.

I'm sure I read somewhere that they were putting both endings on the region one dvd release?

they should put it on one dvd. I'm going to see it tomorrow night, although I'm dissapointed the ending is different.

I saw this movie on friday and I loved it 😄

I saw this movie on Friday night, and I thought it was great. The cool thing was, so did every other person in the theater.

It's not new. I recall all the immature assholes in grade school using that word as the universal negative term, which really make absolutely no sense, as the definition of "gay" doesn't mean anything negative. [/B][/QUOTE]

Thank God someone else sees it my way!!
thanks Wolfie!

This was such a beautiful horror movie.

It had an amazing claustrophobic atmosphere, tension you could cut with a knife, some of the most unnerving monsters I've ever seen, and some of the best use of blood and violence I've seen. The gore was impressive and used often, but never to the point where it felt the movie was relying on that factor to be cool. The atmosphere and creatures were always the most affecting things in the movie. This movie was probably the best horror film I've ever had the pleasure of seeing in the theater.

See this immediately if you even have a passing interest in horror, and if you're a horror fan who's been underwhelmed by the recent horror releases this year, then prepare to have your faith in the genre reinvigorated.
