Blair Witch Project: I liked this a lot. At last something original in the horror genre. No, there was no gore or sex and no extreme violence. What there was, was atmosphere. The scene with the laughing children attacking the tent was great. Do I think it could have been done better? Yes, but that is just me.

Hostel: I agree with you here. But its just not that they took American Wedding and turned it into a slasher, its the fact that they expect us to believe this plot to lure tourists into this trap spreads all across Europe. Then their was the deus ex machina ending where everyone responsible for what happened to the lead happens to be in his path. Eli Roth did much better with Cabin Feaver than with this film, I won't be rushing to see part II.

...and since it's being drug into everything...

The Descent: A vast improvement from Marshall's Dog Soldiers...that much you have to admit. Even still, I liked this film. It had a strong female cast that seemed like they knew their shit when they were in the caves. The monsters are believable, they remind me of more savage versions of the Morlocks from Journey to the Center of the Earth.
