The Decent
Does this film seem like an imitation of the Underdark to anyone? I saw a trailer for it and it looked pretty unoriginal. Does anyone know otherwise?

Re: The Decent
its pretty good, Neil Marshall is probably the best horror director out there at the minute, manages to build up the tension well and when it all kicks off it goes into a film that frankly made me scared to go down the stairs without the light on. Wether its a rip off or not its bloody amazing, and well worth however much it costs to go to the Cinema in the US nowadays even if they have changed the ending.

Re: The Decent
I haven't heard of a movie called The Decent. Is it decent? ;)
Perhaps you were actually referring to The Descent?
Okay, I'll taking my annoying spell-checking away now."To be gorgeous and high and true and fine and fluffy and moist and sticky and lovely, all you have to do is to believe that one is gorgeous and high and true and fine and fluffy and moist and sticky and lovely, and I believe it of myself."

Re: The Decent
The way they're advertising it, I don't want to see it.
"From the makers of hostile! IT'S SO GORY!"
What is wrong with hollywood these days?
Huge amounts of Gore != Horror
Though huge amounts of Al Gore do."So...the orphan attacked you?
"Aye"
"And so you cut him down with your axe in self defense."
"Aye..."
"I don't believe you."
"Damn...would ye believe that th' orphan was an alien?"
"No"
"Damn."

its a shame they've advertised it like that because it really is a masterwork in the horror genre for this millenium. And that kind of advertising puts a lot of people off. Plus they've changed the ending which sucks no end

Re: The Decent
i believe in the american ending she climbs up a mountain of bones, bursts through the top soil and gasps for air, then there's the whole juno in the car thing. in the UK when she sees Juno in the car she comes round IN the caves and sees her daughter sitting with a birthday cake, wierd but symbolic. Basically in the british version the ending is just showing how she's become one of 'them' and how shes gone completely cuckoo banannas
