A Descent into Horror

So I just saw the British low-budget horror film The Descent and it was, unexpectedly, well above average. It was the best scary movie I've seen since I caught Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original) for the 5th time about 6 months ago on DVD...all other recent horror films pale in comparison to The Descent . The thing I loved most about it was the two-pronged horror tactics the film makers used. First they preyed on the audiences fear of the dark, or being trapped in the dark. And the 2nd tactic the film makers used was to throw in human-eating creatures while the characters were still stuck in the seat gripping pitch-black. This is NOT a typical blood and gore horror flick, it has teeth and those teeth grip into you while you watch in horror.
Obviously there will be some cheesy moments, it's a low budget British Horror film...do you expect anything else. But the tension that mounts during the first half of the movie and the shear terror that permeates the second half of this movie make it a joyfully scary addition to this summer's good movies.
If you like horror films, PLEASE see this you will love it.

O.M.G.

I just did a Google search for 2 of my favorite artists at the same time; hoping to find a site that sells both of their new albums in order to buy them at the same time; my blog was the 4th hit on Google!!!!!
Does that mean I'm weird and only listen to weird music or that I'm super cool and have a taste for music untouched by my fellow music snobs?
Search for Andrew Osenga's (now with Caedmon's Call) and Brandtson's names on Google, at the same time, and you tell me.
