View Full Version : The descent Jason Strongfield December 28th, 2006, 08:08 PM Is this movie any good ?? I heard it's an english film so good that Hollywood decided to bring it over ???? Tony Tremble December 29th, 2006, 03:28 AM Is this movie any good ?? I heard it's an english film so good that Hollywood decided to bring it over ???? The BEST horror flick for quite some time. Blood, guts and loads and loads of jumps! Just shows what can be done with small budget and talented director who knows the genre. Sure there are some plot holes but you can easily overlook those because the film delivers the frights. On the big screen it was ace. TT Robert Kirkpatrick December 29th, 2006, 11:34 AM This movie rocks. Period. I prefer the original British ending over the American version, but I prefer darker endings anyway. It's funny that there's been such an upsurge in horror films lately, but still, very few of those films deliver the scares. This one does. Tony Tremble December 29th, 2006, 12:18 PM This movie rocks.

That's interesting, I didn't know there was an alternate ending for the US. I want to ask how the US version ends but don't want to ruin the film for those that MUST see it? Can you give me a hint? TT Matt Gottshalk December 29th, 2006, 12:24 PM No where NEAR as good as the book, which it is based VERY loosely on. Robert Kirkpatrick December 29th, 2006, 04:39 PM Can you give me a hint?You're right. There's no way to explain it without giving it away to anyone else. I tried to PM, but you don't accept emails. Shoot me an email at crowfeather at hotmail.com, and I'll tell you. Basically, the American version cuts way earlier than the British version. Jason Strongfield December 29th, 2006, 05:25 PM wasnt the American and British version explaine don the director commentary on the DVD?? Tony Tremble December 29th, 2006, 05:53 PM wasnt the American and British version explaine don the director commentary on the DVD?? Have absolutely no idea. I saw The Decent at the cinema. If someone has a link to a description of the difference between the US and Brit ending I' d be much obliged. Ta... TT Jason Strongfield December 29th, 2006, 06:00 PM without giving it away, does the UK ending ends with the scene at a) the car or b) in the cave? Robert Kirkpatrick December 29th, 2006, 08:11 PM For those wanting spoilers or to know the difference between UK and British: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Descent Really, there's not much of a change, but what was changed *drastically* changed the tone. And in my opinion, the theme.

And in my opinion, the theme. Yeah, I agree totally changes the tone. Too many so called horror films let the audience leave the cinema happy I'm glad The Descent (UK) didn't do so. TT |
