I would've listed it best horror so far, but since it was officially released last year i left it out of the equation.

Do you think Descent is better than Hills Have Eyes remake? I wanna see it.

Either:

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest

or

The Descent

Easily.

Gorier. Scarier. A better plot and setting, and an original story.

Very much so.

Hm.

Can you really count The Descent as a 2006 film? I wouldn't. It definately is in the top of 2005 though.

I wouldn't say it was GORIER then The Hills Have Eyes (unrated) either. Definately not.

Orginal, well... I don't know. Probably. There is The Cave. And I have heard that there was a similiar movie made a few years back also. Not 1:1 similiar, but neither is THHE 1:1 to the original.

Better might fit. But I liked both very much, and I'd have a problem picking between the two, personally.

Of course the plots for either aren't THAT complex. The Descent does win by a bit by giving us a sense of background on the characters. But both are, underneath, just paths so characters can die.

Direction wise, both are pretty superior to most directors. I really, definately, couldn't pick between the two.

I'd say if you're a more "mature", "intellectual" watcher... you'd probably prefer The Descent.

This is just my opinion, as everyone has theirs.

I never understand this, what's wrong with well written characters that you actually have a chance to give a damn about.

Hostel for example, couple college guys on vacation in Europe, that's all you know about 'em so to me they're just a couple idiots in the wrong place at the wrong time and I couldn't careless what happens. At that point I'm just waiting to see if they get killed in an interesting way.

On the other hand in The Descent I actually cared what happened which really got me into it when the shit hit the fan, that raised the suspense level and made the whole film better.

Also The Descent was released before The Cave. Obviously I'm not sure of the other film you're referring to but I'm thinking it's Alone in the Dark? which was just being released while The Descent was still being filmed. I'm not saying it was completely original but what is anymore?

Absolutely nothing. I never said there was. I actually feel the same way.

As for the other movies, the title escapes me - but I remember reading it in a thread... either IMDb or Dead-Donkey. It might have been Alone in the Dark. And yeah, nothing's entirely original anymore.
