Can you really count The Descent as a 2006 film? I wouldn't. It definately is in the top of 2005 though.

I wouldn't say it was GORIER then The Hills Have Eyes (unrated) either. Definately not.

Orginal, well... I don't know. Probably. There is The Cave. And I have heard that there was a similiar movie made a few years back also. Not 1:1 similiar, but neither is THHE 1:1 to the original.

Better might fit. But I liked both very much, and I'd have a problem picking between the two, personally.

Of course the plots for either aren't THAT complex. The Descent does win by a bit by giving us a sense of background on the characters. But both are, underneath, just paths so characters can die.

Direction wise, both are pretty superior to most directors. I really, definately, couldn't pick between the two.

I'd say if you're a more "mature", "intellectual" watcher... you'd probably prefer The Descent.

This is just my opinion, as everyone has theirs.
A) In America, where I live, The Descent wasn't released until 2006. Therefore, I consider it a 2006 movie.

B) It was gorier than 'Hills'. They gouge a thing's eyes out in 'Descent'.

C) It was original. At least more original than 'Hills', which was a remake, for chrissake.

I thought that I would bring this topic back up. I saw lot of good horror movies this year but what horror movie was the best? Even though The Descent was really a 2005 film, I would consider it the best horror movie for 2006 in the US. The ending was pretty lame but it had so many good things working. In a close second was The Hills Have Eyes remake. With Saw 3 that I just watched coming in a respectable 3rd place. Other mentionable movies that I liked were TCM:the beginning and Slither. TCM: Beginning movie blew away my expectations!

I havent seen An American Haunting, See No Evil, Pulse, Stay Alive, When a Stranger Calls (remake), The Wicker Man (remake), House of the Dead 2. I dont think I will be seeing any of them either.

Great movie... I saw it in the theatre and bought it on DVD. I went into the theatre not knowing how funny it was and was laughing all throughout. I hope the little girl wins an oscar! Best comedy of the year and best movie overall this year that I seen. I havent seen The Departed or Babel yet but I did enjoy Blood Diamond as my 2nd favorite.

Nothing great. Feast wasn't bad. As for straight to video, Rest Stop wasn't bad.
