It bums me out because it could have been stellar all the way through.

I too think the slo-mo was done well, and added to the suspense. <BR/><BR/>Part of what makes the scene "unique?" for me is the space...no trees, cars, cabins, sheds, caves, coffins, or pumpkins to hide behind, in, or under. It's not very often the victim sees the killer at a distance, and doesn't really have anywhere to run...<BR/><BR/>Oh and I suck too, cause I haven't seen The Descent either :(<BR/><BR/>BryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-49067234128109078622007-06-23T18:45:00.000-04:002007-06-23T18:45:00.000-04:00Leave the sucking for late friday nights, go rent ...Leave the sucking for late friday nights, go rent the awesome THE DESCENT now!<BR/><BR/>I highly agree about CURTAINS.

Even the 80's tune I'd never heard of that echoes around the lake as she's ice skating adds SO MUCH tension.
