The Descent

They are making a sequel this year, 2009, honestly, I was breaking a sweat 15 minutes into it and just a complete freakin' wreck during the whole film, very well done, no humor, like the scifi movies of old. This is a must see in my opinion ... My wife was yelling "Fast Forward it, Fast Forward it !!!!"

Was that the flick where some girlies go spelunking and find an underground cave with flesh-eating mutants? Or was that just the dream I had last night...

Ya, that was it, man that is a classic sci-fi flick, I would put it in my time 10, it bothered much like “Event Horizon”, but this film has it’s own style of suspense, it’s like through the entire movie, I’m still worked up over it this morning ...

Watch the trailer I posted above, but if you haven’t seen it yet don’t watch the the trailer for the 2009 movie coming out this summer (spoiler)

Maybe it’s just a faulty memory, but I believe that when this movie first came out on DVD it had a different ending than what was shown on tv Saturday and Sunday night.

If any of the 'girlies' all looked like Chelsea Clinton....it was a certifiable nightmare.

If one of them looked like Helen Thomas, blame that doggone cooking sherry.

I caught some of the beginning and some of the end. It was pretty intense. All that crawling in small spaces at the beginning got me nervous, LOL. And the creepy creatures...yikes!

good flick.
came out about the same time as the similar “The Cave” and was way better.

I like a good scare, but it looks a little too gory to me.

In the original, did all the girls die? I saw it, and that last girl, total bonkers now! :-)

They did the creepy guys really well.

Question:

Where did they get the woman for breeding?

Yeah...it was a good horror movie. Really conveyed a sense of claustrophobia and terror.

I didn’t like the American ending though...it made no sense.
