There was a freeway closure on the way home today, so I called the hubby and arranged for a rare date night in town to avoid sitting in traffic for 2 hours. After realizing that time sure flies by when you have two kids and that every movie I'd wanted to see was either available only by matinee or long gone, we decided on The Descent.
I freakin' screamed my head off, bruised my husband's thighs, squeezed his arm purple, and had a pretty good time. Hubby claims there was one point where I was the only one screaming in the theater, which I say is bs.
I came home and watched the original ending on You Tube. 10x better than our crappy *** US version. I highly suggest you watch that after seeing this.

Isn't this movie made by the same company that made Saw and Hostel? If so, have you seen either of those, and was The Descent as gory as Saw or Hostel?
I'd rather not go see The Descent if it is just as gory as the other movies. Saw II has the rare pleasure of being the only movie to ever make me get up, leave the room, and dry heave in the sink. If you've seen Saw II, I only have two words, and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about...
Needle Pit.
Just thinking about it makes me taste bile.
I should never EVER be allowed to watch those kinds of movies. I still have nightmares about the new texas chainsaw massacre, hahaha. Saw (the original) though...laaaaaaame and not scary. I have been assured, however, that the second should not be viewed by me. I have trusted sources that screen movies for me, haha.
The two movies that I still have nightmares about most often: Seven and Titus. Both great movies, both wicked gross.

Yeah, the Saw movies were lame, plotwise, in fact, the ending of Saw2 made ZERO sense, but they were both gory in parts.
I agree, Seven still haunts me, never seen Titus.

link to the Utube ending vs, but thank you. my wife has been asking to go see that. im going to have to find a baby sitter for the kids to take her out.
The Descent was pretty gory ala 28 Days Later throat ripping gory. There were parts that it started to annoy me that it was all flash flash flash flash scary face flash flash scream flash flash. The flashes being undiscernable scenes of legs and arms and fists. But overall I thought it was pretty well done. As I said though, the UK ending was MUCH better. I was extremely happy that YouTube had it.
And funny you guys mention those other movies because among the horror movie riddled previews we had there was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and Saw III. The preview for Saw III scared me so much that hubby asked if I wanted to leave and go see something else. lol

I loved 28 Days Later...own it actually. I can't stand flashing lights and such though. Strobe lights make me ill. I don't even like driving in the afternoon when the sun flashes through the trees repeatedly.

No friggen clue why, but Eraserhead haunts me to this day. Doesn't even seem like it should be or anything, maybe it's just disturbing at parts. If your wondering what it's like, you can't really describe it.
BTW I've never screamed in a movie before, just flinched in stuff like The Grudge (not like those were scray anyway).

Imo,
Dawn of the Dead (original, not semi-decent 2004 remake) > all other horror movies.

I got really excited when I saw The Descent coming out until I realized the only similarity to the book is the fact that the main setting is underground. The rest is 100% different.
Seeing as how I enjoy crawling around in caves, I'm not going to be seeing that movie. Nope, no way, no how.
Being claustraphobic and watching this movie is not fun. Not fun at all. I mean for the love of god who in their right minds goes down little tiny passages like that for fun, not to mention there could be evil shIt waiting on the other side. It's just not bright.
Admittantly it scared the hell out of me. What happened in the US ending? In the British one we got *spoilers* the women dreaming of escaping then waking up back in the cave just as he light goes out and a dramatic pan away.

Never been a fan of the horror genre. Enough things to scare me in real life, so I never 'saw' the attraction.
Tee-hee.
Tee-hee.
**SPOILERS**
In the US version they simply stop the movie when Sarah sees Juno's ghost in the car. I read an article that people didn't like the ending, but I thought the original ending made complete sense and is what made the movie good.

You'd better believe I have one of those.
so you shouldn't be so frightened by dark, damp, crevaces with scary things going on inside of them

I have got to learn to not take a sip of my water when I'm reading here.
