Kinda small. What`s the little red cross supposed to mean? "Don`t watch this film cos it`s s***e?"

Mmm... ok. It`s a good idea, but I`m not really sure if it works... (and the two girls in the middle both have three feet, lol!)

Meh, it`s a nice idea for a poster but it doesn`t really work.

As for the film, it was quite an effective chiller until the monsters came, then it turned into a ridiculous, childs game of showing how many films the director can reference in as short a time as possible. Entertaining, but it became really silly and OTT which isn`t consistent with the rest of the film.

Just what I thought at first, but if you look again you`ll see that the third feet belong to the girl at the top - hence the laces showing.
I quite like the poster, its quite an inventive idea.

I really enjoyed The Descent, but as nicely done as the poster looks, it seems to suggest ritualism - the pose is quite Ouroborous like. But maybe it`s just me.


What is it, boy? Fire? Earthquake? Hippies?

Looks like a poster for a Movement and Dance theatre group. :¦

:o The Descent is the best British horror movie since 28 Days Later and was the film highlight of last year for me. Sadly the light at this time of year means I can`t watch it at home until well after 11pm so I probably won`t see it again until late autumn, at the earliest. As for the poster, I`m a bit non-plussed really as I liked the British one but if it helps it to do well in the US then I`m all for it.

Ah, now, wossy. I admire and respect your opinion more than most on this forum, but it really did suck. I actually paid to see this (and if you know me, you`ll know that`s a big thing) but it was atrocious at the end. I had a lot of respect for the director for Dog Soldiers (THE best horror film of the last century) but it flew out of the window after this mess. What killed it for me was the Roar. Crap of the highest water

Maybe if he`d got some actresses who could act?
