Descent to a DESCENT screening unlike any other - plus the U.S. One Sheet appears online!

Hey folks, Harry here... Every now and again the British are extremely lucky to get a film months and even years before we get it domestically here in the United States. Case in point, THE DESCENT, which has been picked up by Lionsgate and should... god willing... be a tremendous success for them here in the U.S. First off... while this was directed by Neil Marshall (director of DOG SOLDIERS) and released first in the UK... this is a film that takes place in the U.S. and won't have the "accent" problem that plagued DOG SOLDIERS domestic release and acceptance. I enjoyed the hell out of DOG SOLDIERS, but feel that THE DESCENT is far far far better and complete a film than DOG SOLDIERS ever hoped to be. At BNAT6 last year this movie was Tim League's favorite film of the 24 hours (Tim's the Owner and Operator of the Alamo Drafthouse) and to me... it played like gangbusters. It is hands down one of the most claustrophobic, fear-inducing terror rides I've enjoyed in a very long time. Great monster movie, that is scary long before monsters ever show up. And my father still refuses to watch it again, due to the film giving him recurring nightmares and confronting him with his own claustrophobic spelunking past.

Well - with THE DESCENT coming out in August, Lionsgate decided to go ahead and hit with their first domestic one sheet for the film and debuted it over at JoBlo.com and if it reminds you a bit of the back of the Death's Head Moth from the SILENCE OF THE LAMBS poster... or a Dali photograph that is famous beyond words... I think that's probably on purpose. The poster does convey claustrophobic death... and that's kinda what happens in this film. It's absolutely intense. And as intense a film as it is... Tim League wants to make it MORE INTENSE. How?

Somewhere in Texas, somewhere in a hole in the ground... an audience will burrow their way to a dank dripping personal hell... where in the a large glistening cavern a screen will be inflated and a portable 35mm projector will be hauled... and in the depths of the Earth... where no "natural" light can reach... you will see this horror film. The details are being worked out, the screening has been set up... there's just a couple of details that have to be ironed out, but next week you'll find out where on July 22nd in Texas you'll have to crawl into to see the most instense horror screening of your life. If you have the sack for it, that is.
