The newest edition of Why America Sucks
I have always been a huge fan of horror movies. So when I went over to the UK last summer and my cousin told me about a new film from the creators of Dog Soldiers and 28 Days Later, I was psyched. I watched the film and decided that it was one of the best I've ever seen. Since then, I've been following it's progression to American theatres via the IMDB message board. I was naturally dying to see it again when The Descent came out in theatres. Now, I knew that they were re-editing it for American audiences, but I didn't expect it to be as bad as it was. First off, the whole ending has been cut out. Yes, the American ending is, in the original version, just a dream. They cut out many meaningful symbols, including the daughter with the birthday cake. Sure it was included, but did it make any point? Was there any use for it? And the scares were so cheap! It's been totally Americanized to a cheap version of an amazing film and I don't know what to do. My first thought was to get out of the country (I really am serious about my horror films!). But instead I think I'll just buy a multi-region DVD player. Yes, just so I can watch this movie. Phooey. I hate Americans.
