I first saw this on a very poor copy and switched it off half way through. Then, guided by recomendations from this very forum, got it from ScreenSelect. Watching it "properly" prompted me to order the 2 disc edition.
Awesome, atmospheric, scary film.

It is a fairly good film. Not the best ever, but certainly one of (if not the) most enjoyable film I saw last year.

Needed something to bump up my hmv order so I could get £3 off.
(Also had much arm twisting by many here about how good it is and seeing as I also bought The Cave, I thought I might as well watch the better of the two too)
BTW I've currently got 568 dvd's (And not all of them came free with a newspaper.  ) Ok, for most I used links & vouchers and things rather than money. But for others, I just got them damn cheap (Thanx to all you guys. )
Regards,
Valentino

I rented it with my screenselect trial, it was okay I suppose, nothing special. Ending was refreshing though.

Yeah, finished it off, not as scary as I thought it would be. But I can see how it could be scary, watching on the projector, turning off the lights, turning up the sound. Maybe I won't be doing that

What a waste is all I can say. SPOILER A sexy asian chick who can do stuff like that with her legs being eaten by a load of blind cannibals. 
Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.

This beautifully sums up my view of copied films, they ruin the movie experience regardless of how good the actual film is.
Not wishing to take this off topic, I've seen this film at the cinema and on DVD, enjoyed it both times even though I knew the jumpy parts, it still got me!

By comparison, I've just had the misfortune of watching The Cave. Started out quite promising, then got all silly and crap towards the end 
Pretty good surround, but "Descent" it ain't.
