Re: The Descent....
Got this on a impulse buy at Wally World. $10 + tax for a blu ray. Pretty good movie. Excellent PQ.
Just hate that Lionsgate pretty much ensures you ruin the case by putting hard to remove security tape on 3 sides.Comment

Re: The Descent....
Yea it was the UK ending, that's why i said the ending was almost sort of incomplete or very subtle. The overall tone of the movie was pretty good. The beginning started off with some tension, but half way through it became more about a psychological ride then a scare fare which sort of helped the movie lose the predictability most horror movie get.
Everyone keeps referring Dog Solider, when i saw that a couple years ago it was on the SC-FI channel. For anyone that watches that channel, all of their original movies are so low budget its almost embrassing to watch it. I thought it was a SC-FI original, i watched it but didn't pay full attention. However i am a big Werewolf fan. I guess i'll go rewatch this time without the SC-FI channel horribleness being in the back of my mindComment

Re: The Descent....
Don''t get your hopes up. I bought into the hype thinking that Dog Soldiers was some great horror movie and it was a campy mess. It started out alright but I almost couldn't even finish watching it because it got so corny and the werewolves were so fake in a low budget kind of way that I couldn't stop laughing at the end and it became an unintentional comedy which isn't good when you were expecting a great horror movie.
If it was intended to be a somewhat dark comedy then it succeeded but I was so shocked it was so bad that I question anyone's taste who actually thinks this is a top tier horror movie. It wouldn't scare a 10 year old.Comment

Re: The Descent....
this is funny because it's exactly how i felt while watching it. Never did it occur to me that the director was trying to scare me. The Werewolves themselves looked sort of cheap. The movie did seem to have a rather low budget which is why i thought it was a SC-FI original.
But maybe if i watch it with an open mind it might seem alrightComment

Re: The Descent....
Maybe with an open mind and a few open beers, then it might be enjoyable. All I can remember from renting that movie was that I kept checking the DVD case to make sure that I had rented the right movie and not some National Lampoon parody of it. this is funny because it's exactly how i felt while watching it.

Re: The Descent....
I don't understand your spoiler.
I think his point was that they are ignoring the uncut version by having a sequel. There's no way a sequel makes sense with the uncut version.
Actually, it doesn't matter. Descent is a bad movie if it goes by the US ending. It's the only time the film tried to be like every other stupid horror film out there. If there's a sequel, I won't watch. I won't even acknowledge it. Go ahead, make a thread, I will find a way to delete it.
