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?

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.

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.
