Author Topic: The Descent (2006) Chad M Calpito Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 08-09-2006 10:43 PM                        I saw The Descent today and thought it was great. The special effects were really good. To me, the actresses & actors were really good. Plenty of gore in this movie, just the way I like it. So, what do y'all think of the movie? Personally, I think Lions Gate Films is really putting out a lot of great horror flicks lately.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 08-09-2006 11:26 PM                        I thought the ending was lame. Why couldn't they have left the original British ending in the movie? Give me a grim ending anyday!  |  IP: Logged Chad M Calpito Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 08-09-2006 11:40 PM                        I have to agree that the ending was lame. Of course, I haven't seen the British version though. Is the British version pretty good?  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 08-09-2006 11:43 PM                        I think the British version is the same, except the ending. I read what happens in the UK version online, and (to quote a reviewer) lets just say that body count is different. I'm sure it will be on the DVD though.  |  IP: Logged Chad M Calpito Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 08-10-2006 12:04 AM                        Awesome. I'll have to check it out when it comes out on DVD. Thanks for the tip.  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 08-10-2006 10:47 AM                     I am pretty sure that I read somewhere that there were 6 different endings shot and that all of them will probably end up on the DVD.  |  IP: Logged Kyle Anderson Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Tyler, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 08-10-2006 09:58 PM                     Aye I watched the brit release; and yup body count ( or lack thereof after those guys are done with them haha) is different <3 that ending  |  IP: Logged John Alan Petrey Film Handler Posts: 15 From: tampa, fl / United States Registered: Jul 2006 posted 08-11-2006 04:38 AM                     Go to youtube and check out the original ending (or at least one of them) now!  |  IP: Logged Jerry Axelsson Expert Film Handler Posts: 107 From: Stockholm, Sweden Registered: May 2005 posted 08-28-2006 05:10 PM                     I liked this one. This was actually scary unlike most of the modern horror films. 3.5/5 We ran a sneak screening of this one last year in november on Fantastic Film Festival (FFF) in Lund / Sweden.
