The Descent

contrary to the opinion of some of my friends (Armand) this is not a very good movie. after the first 30 minutes (when the monsters arrive) this is not a very scary movie.

two things that sucked about this movie:
1. when out of nowhere two of our heroines go all Ripley and start snapping necks like Schwarzeneggr from Commando.
2. too much monster and not enough cave.

four things that i liked about this movie:
1. that the monsters (Crawlers) were biological. that they weren't EVIL. that they were just sort of defending their territory like any animal would.
2. that scene where the dikey girl's bone shoots out of her leg. (there hasn't been a better compound fracture scene since Deliverance...)
3. a cast of really beautiful white-water-rafting-bouldering-spelunking English hippy girls (which when you think about it, is more fantastic (in the "phantastikos" sense of the word) than the salamander/bat-like monsters, i went to Naropa, there's no such thing as attractive granola)
4. that this movie had nothing to do with overweight redneck cannibals...or zombies...cause that shit's played out like silk screened t-shirts yo.
