The Descent:-

Shot with the currently in vogue low FPS during the action scenes, which makes them computer game-esque and deeply unsatisfying. Also, the cinematography around the caverns is disorientating - and not in an exciting way. Finally, generally bland British characters make the whole thing distinctly underwhelming.

Not a bad ending, though.

Lady in the Water looks good in previews, but all movies do. I was so disappointed by The Village, I dont know if I can trust Mr. Shyamalan anymore. I think he used up all his talent on The Sixth Sense.

the lady in the water's commercial just gets on my nerves! that little girls voice is just agitating!

The thing that's bugging me about Lady in the Water is the damn marketing. At first they were making it look like a pretty cool fairy-tale fantasy flick, now they want to make it look like horror. Doesnt look too bad either way, but I wish they could decide what to make us expect.

..I agree.....fast editing/clips only has one purpose in this movie: to hide bad spesial effects...its not cool and its a cheap way to make the movie look cooler...it does'nt fool me

The Descent rules.

even if the creatures do look exactly the same as the thing from Creep.

i can't wait to see the lady in the lake I like that guy in it from Sideways

The Descent was pretty good - but could have done so much more. I did an interview with Neil Marshall when it was first released, and he didn't seem 100% happy with it himself. Certainly not compared to Dog Soldiers. It has plenty of jumpy moments (if you like that sort of thing) but nothing that makes your skin crawl, like the surgery scene in Creep.

So up for Lady In The Water it's unreal, I think Shyamalan is a dude, and his stuff gets better with repeated viewing.

Ah...So you ARE still here :)


You're tenacious, I'll give ya that ;)

I'm trying!
