The Descent

[Inferius]

Anyone seen this?

I rented it last night assuming it would just be another shitty/predictable/but amusing gore fest.

It wasn't.

It completely took me by surprise, little things develop over time and you begin to wonder... Well... I really don't want to spoil it for anyone, becuase even I missed a lot of the important subtleties that lead to the theoretical plot possibilities in my low expectations.

But in general this movie kicked ASS.

Of course some who don't have the ability to think on their own would most likely just consider this a basic cave monster flick.

What say you cannabis tokers?

[MastaChronic]

i say....toke on

Seen it a hundred times and never gets old. My only gripe is it has like 1 male actor in the whole movie and NO nudity... what's up with that???

I agree that most 'horror' flicks these days...well...they basically suck with the exception of a few. I really liked this movie...even if you think it's a sucky storyline and it's missing this or missing that...it's still a pretty fun movie to watch. I saw it online a few months before it was released in the US and told my friends when it came out..we gotta watch it. I ended up watching it like 5 times one week lol with different people everytime, and everyone liked it. Whether or not you consider it 'scary'...it still has many of those "jumpy 'BOO' scenes" to enjoy. It's pretty intense though...that would be a good word to describe it.

[Nochowderforyou]

No, I haven't seen it.

But let tell you about a stupid one I saw a few days ago. That one called Lady in the Water by that Shamhala fellow. :p What a waste of my damn time.

I also saw a good one called The Departed. It's about the Mob, and an FBI mole. It was okay. Worth a watch but not worth buying in my opinion.

Yeah man I thought it looked realy shitty but i saw it like 2 weekends ago and it was really fucking good.

[Samwhore]

I heard that movie was really bloody,

I love bloody movies, I want to see a movie that had loads of blood, I want a movie that people have to stop watching because its so nasty, find a movie like this and tell me

I thought it was pretty cheesy but some of the girls were sexy and it was a pretty cool movie overall. Definatly exceeded my expectations.

[BizzleLuvin]

i refused to see it because i am an avid weekend spelunker. its creepy enough sleeping in an eerily dark and silent cave.

[Samwhore]

You will like this movie.

I will see it soon then!

The ending was kind of dumb.

The very end, I found annoying, but right before that I found the twisty very cool... If you think about some of the scenes that may have seemed pointless, and put all of it together, the ending makes a lot of sense... Or the exact opposite...

[smoking habit]

why did that bitch tell that last girl that survived not to trust the other girl when it obviously was an accident that she hit her in the neck with the pick thing. which in turn ended up enticing the last girl to kill that one badass climber girl. i guess she was just bitter that she was bleeding to death and was about to be eaten alive by monsters mabe??? pussy... haha. I just watched it by the way, at 4:00 in the morning, insomnia sucks.

You have to READ INTO IT.
If you take everything at face value it doesn't flow that well, and theres a reason for this.
Remember the beginning with the hospital?
And what about those pills?
And remember when the lesbo-ey girl fell and was screaming and the gollem was drinking water and didn't even look up when the ear-shattering scream was let out?
Did you see the end with the little girl?

Theres room for interpretation.

And yes, insomnia sucks ASS. I've had it for the last week or so...
Eventually you just give up and go do something interesting..

[MacWQ33]

This whole movie can be interpreted in many many ways. But what's the point...it's just fun to watch. After I watched it...I went to IMDB or whatever...and people have so many theories. Like that there were never any crawlers. There was good evidence too...but why would you want no crawlers...those things were crazy, nasty little fuckers. I bet the director ddn't even think about it as much as some people do LOL.

As for the end...there were actually two endings shot. A UK release (the original) and a US ending. If you got the DVD in the US...the director actually merged the two endings. This leaves you will basically 'you decide what happened'. There's a special feature on the DVD that explains this. It was a pretty cool movie though.

I didn't understand how that girl was alive long enough to say anything. I thought once your throat was slit you couldn't talk and you slowly die. At least one of those two cave creatures wuld have eaten her, but no. They just leave her there and then she can miraculously talk. Cheesy

[MacWQ33]

I was wondering that myself...so were a few of my friends. That shit went right through the middle of her throat. We were just confused about the talking part. Maybe there is an explantion..or maybe the director was like 'ehhh..maybe they won't notice'..I dunno lol.
