the descent

i seriously have not been this disturbed by a cinematic experience since seeing the blair witch project for the first time on opening night. some of the parts you could see coming from a mile away, but were still hard to sit through. others arrived with a little twist, hello pick axe to the throat. lisa screamed, loudly, at least two times. that made me laugh so hard. she claimed to pee a little at one part. and i almost tossed my cookies at one scene. i've seen many a horror flick in my day and never have i had a reaction like that. i started choking when i felt the near puke incident, this time it was lisa's turn to laugh. i heard a few things about the movie taking place in the appalachian mountains, and it being compared to a deliverance experience, so naturally i expected the big bad to be a hillbilly or group of hillbillies if you will. yeah, i could not have been more wrong about that. i sent my sister a text telling her to steer clear of this movie, knowing that she would hate it. "do not see this movie, much like kenny rogers' chicken, it will mess you up." don't get me wrong, i loved it. it was beyond disgusting, disturbing, seriously scary, well paced, and something i won't soon forget. even lisa thanked me about ten times for suggesting the movie, and for taking her to a scary movie that actually lived up to all the hype. i'm just not sure that i'd be able to sit through it again, as i do with the blair witch project every year at halloween.
