Re: The Descent
Quote:
in terms of the extended ending: (spoilers in white text) I think the final scene with her snapping back into the cave shows sarah's final "descent" into madness. Throughout the film, you've got her hallucinating about her daughter and the cake, visualizing her own impaling death, hearing her daughter's laughter throughout the cave... so it's not like the extended ending was a cheap way out: sarah had been slowly losing it the entire time. i agree with you that the cake scenes make absolutely no sense without the uk ending. in the american release, the two visions sarah has of her daughter and the cake are meaningless until the final scene showing her still trapped in the cave with her daughter across from her. With the screams of the monsters closing in, sarah is finally about to be reunited with her kid. Even though the extended ending seems darker (nobody survives), sarah's closure is much more peaceful in death (as opposed to the american ending where it's foreshadowed that she'll live the rest of her life in mental horror from what happened in the cave). |

Re: The Descent
I was suprised how much I really liked this movie cuz horror movies normally suck the past 10 years or so. cool atmosphere, good amount of gore, and decent acting. definitely buying when it comes to dvd and did anyone get the saw 3 trailer when they saw the movie? looks like a lot more death traps :thumb:
