# Someone who agrees!
It really was dire. I sat there predicting *every* "scare" that was coming. Dross.

# Fuck. I watched that the other day.
Well, I watched the first half hour, predicted the rest and turned on the last 20 minutes to watch my predictions come true. It was fucking shit.

# That's a good-bad film. It's terrible, really, but well made shit.
Like "The Day After Tomorrow".

# is that the one set in Romania or somewhere similar
with them all trapped underground and being attacked by mutated creatures?

or is it the virtually identical film with the pretty girlies in?

# that was a good film.
there was a similar cave film that Griffy mentions, that was rubbish.

edit: called 'The Cave':

# No, no, no.
I've not seen what sounds like the original, but The Descent is one of the biggest wastes of 2 hours of my life. Predictable, clunky, full of jilted dialogue, and about as scary as cardboard tube.

# Group of female friends go caving, and meet up with human-eating Neanderthals?
The dialogue probably wasn't anything to write home about, but the ending is extremely horrifying.

As in actual horror, not Saw-style splatter 'horror'.

# By the time I got to the end,
I couldn't give a shit about any of the hollow idiot characters, or any semblance of plot, so it's impact was diminished. Also, it seemed to be an attempt at pseudo-intellectual psycho-nonsense, and was completely at odds to the drivel thrown around in the rest of the film. it was shit.
