The Descent

With the release of The Descent on DVD in a few days I have a question.

If you've seen it is it worth buying when it comes out or should I just rent it?

buy it!! it is a great movie!!

i enjoyed it !!

Yep, buying it for sure, outstanding film.

Alright sounds good, I think I'll buy it.

Thanks for the help. 🙂

If you enjoy listening to whinging pommy bitches accents, go ahead.

Definitely worth buying.

Don't buy it, rent it 1st and see if you like it. I didn't like it, but you should rent it first.

scary 😄?

It's rental worthy, that's about it.

I just watched it again today, the DVD has the original ending, which is much better than the generic "Americanized" ending we got over here, actually kinda ties things together and adds a level of coherency to the flashbacks with the birthday cake.

Man, such an outstanding movie.

Yeah, when I heard that they cut the ending back, I knew right away that it would be promoting the "unrated DVD with an all-new alternate ending that you couldn't see in theaters!"

The UK ending is great. The US ending was just a stupid jump scare that left me going "WTF?"

If you enjoy listening to whinging pommy bitches accents, go ahead.

Only two of the women are British...

Yes buy it on dvd, fabulous film.

THe UK ending had better flow with the film, but i enjoyed the American ending better.

BUY the DVD i will be

Eh, the American ending was very cliche. Though it suggested something completely different from the original. One of the few times the alternate endings actually changes the entire notion suggested in the film.

Either way, the movie's astounding and a must own for any horror fan.

This is one of them movies that everyone jumps on the bandwagon about.

If someone who people regard as knowing abit about horror says this was a great movie, the followers join in and say it's a great movie.

Same goes with movies like the TCM remake, someone hates it so everyone else does.

I don't say a movie is good because everyone else does, I have my own opinions.

Well, I see the overall reviews as good, so I think I'll give it a chance and rent it! 😉

you are the only one here that doesnt like it ... there is no bandwagon

If Backfire likes a movie, every single person on this horror board likes it.

BANDWAGON.

I'll agree that it's pretty overrated, but it's good nonetheless.

And what about the millions of other people who are praising the movie and don't frequent this board?

I mean, I'd love to think that my opinion is that influential, but obviously it's not. People like this movie because it's very good, well made, and intense, precisely what a horror film should be. A very nice break from the Saw-esque rippoffs and half-assed gorefests going around right now.
