Saw it last night. Pretty good horror flick. It does a good job of making characters with just enough ofa story that you care about them ANDthe director/writer does a great job in isolating them in a believable way rather than a stupid (going into the basement to change a fuse when a known killer is in the vivinity) way.
Really enjoyed it.

Say, does anybody know if this movie has anything to do with the book
The Descent by Jeff Long? Whether it does or not, I highly, highly recommend the book. Real mind blowing stuff. And if
I say that...

I read that book a year ago, if memory serves, it's about a sub-terranean civilization, correct? That was good. I especially liked the description of the cities that man created below as a result of the discovery.
The movie is truly NOTHING like the book, except for the look of the "creatures", which I would surmise is similar. Also, the bibical implications are totally gone. The creatures are simply that.

The film was good, the book was average (but an interesting concept).

Hell, I loved the book. Read it in one sitting, and so did the GF. Remember thinking half-way through, "How can there still be a climax to this?"
Keeping an eye out for my own copy, dying to read it again.
