Wow....
The only positive things that I see coming out of this movie being released are the following:
1) It will be 1.5 hours or less. I mean, how much can actually happen when a group of women are stuck somewhere? (Same thing with Phone Booth.....the phone rings, dude answers, cops come, roll credits. How much more could really take place at a phone booth with someone watching??) hehe
2) If there is a GOOD movie that I want to see that is out at the same time, there is a 65% chance that "The Descent" will distract those that love to yell, throw popcorn and talk on their cell phones during a movie. Therefore, I may be able to enjoy a movie for once instead of trying to strategically choose a time when the above mentioned are usually somewhere else.
3) This movie is already getting hype from TOO many sources to not already be widening the eyes of it's producers....so, the sequel called "The Ascent" will likely happen in a year .... so you can count my #1 and #2 reasons as #4 and #5 for the sequel.
Edit: I will give it one good point though....The scene in the preview where a light is panned by one of the "Lucky Ladies" and you see someone else in the viewing area.....that ALWAYS gives me goosebumps. Of course it's been done since horror films were first being made but, I still enjoy that feeling. Kinda like the scene in one of the first few episodes of Twin Peaks when Laura Palmer's mom is remembering back when she looked in her room for Laura and never saw her but saw "Bob" peeking our from her bed frame.....
