The Descent
 

OK guys. I need your opinions on this one. Its in the cinemas in the UK at the mo.

Yay or gay??? It looks pretty scary but i'm just afraid its gonna turn out to be another bag of shit like all the other recent horrors i've seen at the cinema lately.

I've also gotta think about the fact that I still haven't been to see Batman Begins and The League of Gentlemen Apocolypse (sp?) yet.

what's with the whole cave movies at the mo?

I already almost believed that they had actually made a film of the Jeff Long's novel The Descent, but apparently this is something else... I just wantched the trailer. It seemed OK, not great. We'll see...

Been reading some real good reviews for this one.One overzealous reviewer from slasherpool even said "its the best horror movie he has ever seen".
Seeing that i live in the US, i guess i'll just have to wait for a DVD on E-BAY.

I like how there is 2 threads with the exact same titles in the same forum on the exact same page...:rolleyes:

lol yeah but it was made by me so it doesn't count :rolleyes:

think its a overstatment......British and all....

You´re right, sweetie...... It doesn´t. ;) LOL&Evil

"i wonder if i should use my invisibility to fight crime or for evil ?"


hmmm...


edit : wait a minute... this was actually made before my thread. lol

Yeah well.... That was a start. You begin in the small and work from there. Babysteps. ;) L

Right then guys (i've past 500 posts by the way - go preach!!).....

Sorry to dig this old thread up but last night I watched The Descent at the flix and it was bloody brilliant.

So I took my fiance in with me (who doesn't like horror really - maybe she'll see some spooky stuff but thats about it). The film was an 18 certificate (dont know the US equivalent) so we were thinkin 'Bloody hell! This is the first 18 horror they've released at the movies in yonks.' We wondered why its an 18. I assumed it would have drug references in it or somethin.

Anyway, 20 minutes into the film, we realised why......

Cant tell you much about it but we jumped out of our fuckin seats . Things leapin of of the darkness, blood and guts galore. Bloody brilliant. And it was constant throughout the film. No slow bits to let you calm down. At the end of the film my bloody heart was thumpin. We had to go an get a beer to calm down.

So ok it is just another 'cave man' film but its the first one i've seen done well. And also its from the makers of Dog Soldiers which is class. You guys must check out this film. I think a lot of you will love it.

This is exactly the same thing that happened to me with Session 9. Everyone's so excited about it and give it a shining review and I'm thinking, "Sounds like this is going to be real good!"

Nope. The atmosphere from the first sighting of the cave dwellers until after the first attack was terrifying, to say the least. Haven't seen Dog Soldiers but Neil Marshall certainly handled that first attack very very well. Unfortunately...in spite of the non-stop action, the skillful direction of the attacks dwindled. In my opinion, there seemed to be too many cuts. Instead of being scary having to watch them fighting back, it becomes too chaotic for its own good. Messy editing.

But, hey, it was a good scare. Better than most. And I didn't particularly look forward to go out walking in the woods that night.

Why would you walk in the woods at night.. ever??

Just for the record, i thought it was good ´n scary too. ;)


Thumbs up

Uhm...because it's nice?

Why wouldnt you? If there were woods near me, Id walk constatly.

Erh.... Because it´s dark?

Afraid of the dark? Well, so am I. It's "healthy" to be afraid, but it's not reason enough to avoid going to the woods whenever you can. It's very peaceful. Just you, and the stillness of the night sky.

ach...this is the best damn horror flick to hit the screen this year in my opinion, didnt scare but it kep me jumping... haha! poor tina who i saw it with...she cant take horror movies, its like a little part of her died when she saw it.

LMMAO

Isn´t that sweet.
:p

haha... not if your the guy sitting next to her.

I take it you didn´t get laid that night? ;) :(

ach, you assume to much, shes my best friends girlfriend, wouldnt tuch her with a three foot pole.

Cool. ;) :cool:

This is getting a November 7th release in the UK. I do have a region free player and will be getting it.:D

...gonna give this movie a chance

Good for you.;) :)

..hopes soo...you like ?

In my oppinion, without a doubt the best horror movie of 2005.

..hmm interesting

yea i tought it was really good it completely surprised me but i would say it was the second best of the year behind the devils rejects...

Any clue on a North American release? Theatres or DVD? This so incredibly kickass, I cant wait to get my hands on it.

..when I get a good internet line soon...then this is the first I gonna download....bitlord forever
