The Descent
this movie looks awesome! can't wait to see it! and also Pulse, that looks pretty scary too!:cool:
what about you guys!? |
Im really looking forward to this movie, pulse not so much, but deffinitly gonna go see The Decent first night.
|
I've already seen The Descent but it'll be cool to catch on the big screen.
Pulse has about a 97% chance of not being better, as good as or even in the same realm as Kairo. I'll wait for the dvd unless some friends want to go or I get really bored(which is extremely likely to happen). |
I will see it just to see how much of it is different then the older version..I Heard they changed the ending alot..BUt i will see it for sure.

Congrats! |
Man, i didnt give a damn about this movie until i found out it was from Neil "Dog Soldiers" Marshall. I am excited now :)
|
I actually bought this on ebay a couple of months ago. I didn't know it was a new movie coming out, and it's a real dvd, not a bootleg or anything.
Based on the dvd I bought I thought it was going to be a total B movie time waster. Turns out, it's a pretty good film. Very much along the lines of "The Cave", I think I like it better, but the ending is pretty weak. |

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! "The descent" was one of the very best horror movies to come out of 2005. "The cave" was one of the worst. The difference is huge. |
I have seen it and I just felt very clausterphobic throughout the whole movie.

I think the ending is beautiful and symbolic and necessary to stay true to following the journey of the heroine, and I'm sorely disappointed they've chosen to Hollywood-ize the ending for the American release. |
...
I have the DVD now (my uncle gave it to me, downloaded and converted etc.) I got it to torture myself I think... I'm definitely not watching it before I see it in the theater.
|
The Descent was pretty good. My friend's dad burned a copy of the british dvd so I have to see the different ending with the one that's being released in theaters tomorrow. The fx are pretty good and the creatures are some of the best in recent creature history. WAY better than the Cave.
Pulse on the other hand...I think it looks ok, but it's been hiped up so long and the date keeps changing that I think it will let everyone down. I saw my first trailer for it on Wolf Creek back in December and I'm tired of hearing about it now. |
If anyone seen the Descent in the US theatre, tell me if you think its worth 10 bucks? I am hearing only good things about this movie, even some critics are enjoying this movie. Lot of movie goers are also giving this movie thumbs up.
Is this movie better than "The Hills Have Eyes" remake? |
The Descent and The Cave are very similiar movies.
They both feature cave-dwellers. They both feature killer creatures. People die in both. The difference? One of the directors can actually make movies. The Descent is gold. If you're a horror fan and AREN'T going to see it, or haven't already, you're missing out. PS - What's the other ending? I saw the original UK ending back in '05. Can someone PM me what happens? SPOILER . . . . . . . . . . Is it just cut down to where she escapes, gets in her car and pukes? In the original this was here, but it turns out to be a dream and she wakes up in the cave, with noises surrounding her, and the camera pans out to credits. Perfect ending IMO. . . . . . . . . . . Mhm, we need spoiler BBcode. |

i just got back from the descent and it definitely lives up to the hype. now excuse me for a moment while i become a critical bastard. the "oh shit" moments were great, but i think neil used a little too many-by the end they had lost some of their value. also i was a little disappointed w/ the creatures-they just look too human. i think if the creatures were a little more shocking in appearance, it would have made the film even scarier. now, that being said i still loved the movie. i may not have jumped (like everyone else in the theatre), but my heart was in my throat more than once. neil marshall does a great job building up the tension then letting it out like a balloon. he gets your mind away from the creatures just long enough that when they pop up it makes for a great scare. decent back story too. i did not know what was going to happen w/ the main characters and their conflict until, well... it happened. the ending that hollywood added wasn't too bad, but the original sounds much better. all in all this is a very well made horror film that should be seen. |
Quote:
alright... what did they do to the ending ??? someone please tell me. *** minor spoiler in here *** the original ending is beautiful. very fitting with the character's journey. for me it couldn't have ended any other way for her. in it's own right, it's a sort of happy ending (brazil, anyone ?). i loved it. |
Quote:
alright did i miss something??? i thought the original ending was the one that was released in the uk: sarah makes it out of the cave, makes it to the car, speeds off, stops and almost gets hit by the semi. then she wakes up in the cave w/ creature noices all around her in the dark, (or so i'm told) it was just a dream. this is the only other ending i know besides the hollywood ending i saw last night. |
You're missing the question the last few of us have been asking. What did they do to the ending. AKA - What is the US ending? AKA2 - How does it end in the US version? AKA3 - How did it change from the original?
I'd really like to know... |

oh well that sucks. not in all in keeping with the film, or this character in particular. a nice cookie cutter ending, all neatly wrapped up. i am happy though that for once we get something before you guys, and a better version of it. :D thanks, btw. |
Hehe, thanks. :)
That ending doesn't sound TOO bad, but I prefer the original. |
Quote:
SPOILER: As you might recall, towards the end, Sarah hacks Juno's leg, leaving her to die. Now I don't care what she did, that's a bitch thing to do. So when she turns around and sees Juno (obviously a mirage, but bloddied up and still living), it's the start of a life-long guilty conscience. After her daughter died, her life was on her conscience, and she was always hallucinating, seeing her and hearing her. Erego, Sarah murdered a human being, and now she'll suffer the guilt. :END SPOILER Anyway, I thought the movie was brilliant. 9.5/10 Best horror since The Blair Witch Project. |
Quote:
*** still some spoilers *** still don't find it in keeping with the character, as throughout the movie, she keeps seeing her daughter, keeps hearing her laugh and is haunted by her. she's obviously losing it. i find the original ending way better because her grip on reality finally snaps, and she gets to be with her daughter, in a certain way. in the end you don't really care what she did to juno. it's the fact that she reunites with her daughter in her head that is a more interesting concept. the american ending just makes it about her getting her revenge, while the original makes it a bit more profound than that. that's just my take on it. but agreed, one of the best i've seen in a while. |
*Yet another spoiler*
THE BUTLER DID IT!!! *End of spoiler* |
*****yet yet another spoiler*****
as sarah pushes out into the day light the shark from jaws explodes out of the stream and bites her in half, as jay and silent bob high five on the ledge above and light a spliff. roll credits. *****end of spoiler****** |
Violent,gory, and the best damn horror movie I have seen in a looooog time.
A film that truly builds up the tension and suspense. Great performances and some cool looking monsters. No stupid jokes, no sterotype bimbos, just good solid acting combined with simple but effective FX. This one will be a classic some day. |
Quote:
*Minor Spoiler* My favorite part of the movie is when Sarah first sees the thing. It's not a jump moment or anything, it's just so eery, and the buildup was so perfect. It was a genuinely frightening moment, and I haven't seen one of those since The Blair Witch Project. |
every time i see a movie that i really like i go on imdb to read the bad reviews, just to see what people could possibly not like about the movie. i did this after seeing the descent and i say w/ out any doubt that those people do not know what they are talking about. this movie is not grounding breaking and doesn't use any new scare tactics. its the way marshall does use those age-old horror formulas that makes this a great film. some of the dissent (pun intended) i read on imdb is just... wrong. what they say sucked about the film just isn't right: the acting, the lighting, scare tactics, camera work, DIRECTION, etc. apathetic morons, go watch the godfather again and take an enema! :p

i've seen the uk version, whats the deal with the little girl and the birthday cake at the end?:confused: i must have missed something

"The Cavern"
Has anyone seen this film? Totally a waste... the "Cave" was better than this one...and now, "The Descent" is reputed to top "The Cave""?
"The Cavern" is too dark, visually. Obviously the director's intent, but most of the time, I could not tell what I was watching on DVD... too much camera movement, too much dark, almost pitch black visuals! When I wish to watch a film...the operative word is..."watch"! This film wasted too much time in repetitious tunnels and never showed any visually stimulating 'cavern' vistas. The ending...don't ask! It was not what I expected... totally disappointing... and left me with one impression: sell my copy of the DVD and get it out of my film library as fast as possible! They could have left this one buried in some remote dark crawlspace somewhere. Very disappointing!:mad: |
So...either you're extremely old or you don't truly love horror...
