The Descent My friend Bilbo's review about it, he saw it a while back I'd been reading a lot of rave reviews of this film in recent months, and I finally caught it on Sky Movies last night. Bloody hell. I generally trust Mark Kermode, who called it "one of the best British horror films of recent years" in The Observer, and I wasn't disappointed.
It sounds pretty lame – six female explorers on a caving expedition in the Appalachian mountains get trapped in an uncharted cave system with some mysterious evil. But it's just a simple premise that's very well executed, as with all the best Darwinian survivalist horrors (Alien, The Thing, Deliverance, The Blair Witch Project and especially the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre) that effectively play on the most base, primal fears – of the dark, of entrapment, of enclosed spaces, of elemental forces and being hunted as bloodsport by barbaric predators. I love simplicity and economy when it's this well done. The Descent is a perfect example of how a low-budget horror film can create suspense and claustrophobic atmosphere through clever use of camerawork, lighting, visual effects and sound design. It doesn't skimp on hardcore gore either, but the extreme blood-and-guts quotient is fully in keeping with the story's visceral kill-or-be-killed brutality and grim, nihilistic philosophy. Granted, the first 20 minutes or so are the usual slow and awkward getting-to-you-know stuff, and it's hard to distinguish a few of the characters from each other, but those are minor quibbles. Well worth watching.

[/IMG] [img src=" www.btinternet.com/~tepp1c/puke.gif"][/IMG] [/quote] I'll second that. She's probably the reason why I'll never see Marie Antoinette. Yuck. [/quote] But that's so evil and unfair! What if you find the movie good?? Because she IS good in it! Come ooooooon, give her a chance I never could stand Kirsten Dunst but i can't say i'd want to puke over her body and boycot all her movies LOL.

this is one of my favourite songs EVER i've always been obsessed with so i wanted to share it! Honeymoon Suite : www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=ZUcwT2pITWN0TWswTVE9PQThe ceiling had a painting on it In our room in france So we were living underneath Some angels in a dance
My husband was not feeling well And so we went to bed He woke up complaining Of an aching in his head
He said a hundred people Had come through our room that night That one by one the old and young Asked if he was all right
One by one the old and young Lined up to touch his hand He spent the night explaining They had come to the wrong man
The concierge was less than helpful When we asked her the next day With coffee and a magazine We went to the desk to pay
what happened in that room? he asked a death or something strange? She smiled at him politely And returned to him his change
Well, what Id like to know And this will be a mystery, Is with all the people in that room Why none appeared to me?
When we sleep so close together that Our hair becomes entwined I must have missed that moment In the gateway to his mind

(excluding Rain Dogs and Alice cause those are the two albums i have Btw, in Paris i saw my good Australian friend Sarah, and she made me listen to Pastries and G String and her older sister who writes plays and directs and acts and does photo exhibitions and writes poems and gets published (don't get me started ), well she did a hilarious cover of it i thought of you Anyway, i'd appreciate a whole lotta cause he's got so much stuff and i don't know where to start, or rather, continue.
