I want to see it, but my wife refuses.... if she sees it, she says, she'll never want to go exploring another cave again.

Has this film only just come to the cinema's in the States???  :confused:

It's been out on DVD since 7 Nov 2005 in the UK and I saw it at the movies the beginning of 05

It was OK. I personally prefer Dog Soldiers  :thumbup:

Hmm.. been out on dvd since Nov 7?

Is it an English version of the film or something?

That means there should be DVD rip torrents out there. I will look now.

Thanks

OK I just finished watching the Descent.

I downloaded from the links up above.

Quality is great.

The movie is pretty good I have to say. Its not your typical Hollywood horror movie. keeps you on your toes. It starts out slow but once it gets going.. its one thing after another.

The ending is great.

Good film. One of the better horror films I have seen come out in sometime.

The descent was bad which seemed to be primarily due to the director.

Why are people hyping this turd? Just because there haven't been any good horror flicks lately doesn't mean not as bad ones are anything to rave about.

Just watched it, wasn't a big fan. First 20 minutes are boring as hell. It has some good horror qualities like really intense on the edge scenes but it was still pretty boring somehow. And wf is with the end, did I miss something?

IMO th only good horror movies lately were House of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects.

I mean, i can see why lots of people would like it. The main reason is bad is because many scenes are just dumb and unbelievable and there are quite a few plot holes. A lot of it had bad direction as well. If you are the kind of person who thinks about a movie while watching it you'll have a much greater chance of not liking it. However if you are the kind of person who turns their brain off for 2 hours when watching a movie you'll probably like it.

Also a bad expectation will help. The movie really could have been so great. I thought the first 20 mins were bad exposition and did nothing to develop the characters. The next 25 or so was very good. At around 45 mins it starts getting bad and at an hour it starts getting terrible. The times are probably off though.

Also if anyone wants to read a really good scary story about caving, here is the link.

I watched the UK version but I really didn't think it was scary at all. The characters are shallow and everything up to the ending is utterly predictable. The cinematography was good but that's about it. It's being compared to Alien which I don't think is accurate at all.

Yeah I was drunk last night when I watched. Went back and watched it again this morning with my brother when I was sober and was like... man this movie blows.

The charctures are very poorly developed and the story is hard to follow. The only thing I enjoyed in this film are the gore scenes. Everything else is just crap. It makes little sense and explains nothing... :thumbdown:

But it was a nice change from typical Hollywood shit. I won't be watching it ever again though.
