The only two that seem to have 2 discs are as follows:

The Descent - Abgrund des Grauens (Deluxe Edition, 2 DVDs; 2006)

The Descent (2 Disc Special Edition; 2005)

Well, I'm not lying to you. Mine is the typical "Original Uncut", with the red and black cover depicting the female lead bursting out of a pool of blood. It was released by Maple, who distributes Lionsgate releases in Canada. It has the original first disc, and an additional second disc in a disc tray (one of those trays which snaps on to the spine...)

I never said you were lying, I was just pointing out something. For me to call you -- or anyone -- a liar, you or they would have to be standing right in front of me.

I for one have never seen the Original Unrated Cut, nor even the theatrical cut, DVD here in Canada. I have only ever found Original Uncut, which always comes packaged with a second disc.

I found the original unrated cut at a discount store nearby. It's only one disc. As for Mlauzon, as long as you get the uncut version you're fine. It has a much better ending.
EDIT: looks like it was distributed by Linsgate and not Maple so it must be from the States some how.

Yeah, that happens sometimes. My House of 1000 Corpses DVD is released by Lionsgate, and comes in special packaging (it's a foldout constructed with glossy cardboard.) The Maple versions are simply in regular cases.
