Those who liked The Decent better


What version did you see? The one where she get out in the end, or the one where she goes insane instead, still trapped inside the cave (which was how it originally ended)? I have a suspicion that it is the first version.

Huh?? I thought there was only one version?? The version I watched showed her dreaming that she got out in the end but wakes up still trapped. I loved it. Much scarier and just overall better story than this piece of crap called "The Cave"...poorly made, poorly written, monsters were poorly done...just bad...I mean winged demons?? Hahahahah stupid....I never even jumped once or screamed.

I like the "DESCENT" better and I've seen the theatrical version. I've watched "the Cave" on television and it bored me to tears and I fell a sleep.

No, mojo-filter, the UK ending is the original ending - and luckily it's the only available version here in Denmark!

...just sayin'...

The Decent was "meh", at best. People make such a dumb deal about the ending. They say the director's idea of the ending is the better because it is more "artistic". But the producers are the ones who supplied the money for this "art" so they shouldn't be thrown to the pits entirely. If they want a different ending for whatever reason then they have the right to demand it.

But you see, here in Europe we don't have test audiences, so the director's own vision ends up on screen. The Descent got its ending cut in the US, because the original ending was too bleak. So fricking what?? It was the way it was meant to be!

The producers put the money up. So the producer's way is the way it is meant to be. This is not merely the way the world works but the way real life works. If I pay for art then my way is how it's meant to be. Not the guy who makes it.

The Descent didn't get its ending cut. It got its ending changed. You're making a big deal out of nothing.

Sweetheart....the the sequel is based off the "Americanized" ending; for all intensive purposes, it is "the real" ending.

True... those things found a way out, and I don't think it was the way the group got in... so she could have found the same way out herself... I prefer to think she did.

That would be "intents and purposes".

The sequel is utter tripe and should be ignored.

Where she goes crazy and stays trapped. Phenomenal ending

The Descent was bad. And is overrated. This isn't great either, but to me is more watchable.
