    The Decent

    Did anyone see this yet? Well I thought it was cool. My spoiler really is not a spoiler it pretty much says what most on-line reviews mention. The movie had some awesome gruesome scenes!
     
    Well it is about a group of gals that go caving in an unknown cavern and get stuck when the entrance caves in. Inside the caves lives these part human or once human, white creatures that kinda have bat like faces. The women get picked off one by one and disemboweled, torn apart and eaten alive. Cool huh?

    Yes and no. This was more scarier and more gore. I felt The Cave was better made though. But I know. There is not much to leave to the imagination with a movie about people trapped in a cave.

    I don't understand how anyone could rate it either 5/10 or prefer The Cave, lol, The Descent is frickin' excellent. It had me crapping myself with fright. The director acknowledged it had similarities to other movies, but he had no idea they were on the go at all when he wrote The Descent, so it's all good.

    It was also a great choice to have a movie with nothing but women (except the bloke at the beginning). It's like the inverse of Dog Soldiers (which had one woman). I preferred Dog Soldiers, but The Descent was an excellent flick and quite sick. Annnnnnd, my 3D Art teacher from high school was a scenery sculptor on the movie, cool huh?

    I figured one of the men here would at least dig the fact that it was all chicks.
    I loved the feeding scene! I wish we could see more of that in the movie.

    Spell check would not have picked it up:

    "Decent" =
    1) Characterized by conformity to recognized standards of propriety or morality.
    2) Free from indelicacy; modest.
    3) Meeting accepted standards; adequate: a decent salary.
    4) Morally upright; respectable.
    5) Kind or obliging: very decent of them to lend you money.
    6) Informal. Properly or modestly dressed.


    and

    "Descent" =

    1) The act or an instance of descending.
    2) A way down.
    3) A downward incline or passage; a slope.
    4) Hereditary derivation; lineage: a person of African descent.
    5) One generation of a specific lineage.
    6) The fact or process of coming down or being derived from a source: a paper tracing the descent of the novel from old picaresque tales.
    7) Development in form or structure during transmission from an original source.
    8) Law. Transference of property by inheritance.
    9) A lowering or decline, as in status or level: Her career went into a rapid descent after the charges of misconduct.
    10) A sudden visit or attack; an onslaught.

    Well geee wiz.

    lol

    I was typing and eating tacos at the same time. Everyone here constantly makes typos. It is no big deal. I wanted to go back and edit it after the fact but the edit feature does not all you to edit the post title. Which sucks.

    well personally i found it boring ,kinda like alien in a cave, one by one they get picked off by something in the dark.

    veyr 'meh'

    if you liked dog soldiers though i suggest a kcikass film called "deathwatch" set in WWI a group of soldiers get lost in what they think is gas but its fog after chargeing the german lines and they find a german trench with only a single german alive the rest are all dead, the german says they dug too deep and found something and next thing you know **** goes abd.

    its showing on the sci-fi channel now so check it out the dvds only £3.99 and its owrth it, one of my favourites right now.

    Oh gawd, you actually like that heap of turd?! Deathwatch was such a pile of wank, lol, it was as bad as The Bunker ("German soldiers" with British accents). Billy-bleedin'-Elliot running around the trenches in search of spooky noises, a good idea that totally didn't live up to it, ha! Guess there's balance to the universe afterall ... I'll stick with The Descent's corner.

    So does the title refer to the script? movies quality or the characters actions?

    Who didn't see the ending coming a mile off?

    Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that you don't like "Alien", or just comparing the similarities between the two?


    As far as "The Descent" goes.....I haven't seen it(probably never will - unless it's on TV) but from the advertisements and such.....it seems just like another teen horror flick like "Hostel" or "Saw II"...
