		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;melsgirl said:&lt;/b&gt; I just think - in my opinion - that it should be stated the movie is still entertaining.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And that is why the comment system is here. After all, my opinion isn&#039;t the only one that matters. :)</description>

		<description>That makes sense and I understand your thinking. However, my referral to &quot;not thinking&quot; is generic in the sense that I, as a moviegoer, don&#039;t HAVE to think when watching the movie - regardless of whether or not the director, producer, writer, etc want or expect me to. If they expect that to happen, then they really should put more time and thought into the details of the movie.

These types of movies don&#039;t get critical acclaim, and shouldn&#039;t.

I&#039;m not disagreeing with your assessment from a &quot;critic&#039;s standing,&quot; I just think - in my opinion - that it should be stated the movie is still entertaining. I would never go to a movie, such as this one, with an expectation of thought provoking entertainment; however, if it would have happened, it have been a bonus.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;melsgirl said:&lt;/b&gt; I agree. While it won&#039;t win any oscars or critical praises, it was entertaining. There is no need for thinking when watching this movie; which can be exactly what some people want when popping in a flick (hence the point of B-movies).&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The only problem with that logic is that the Blu-ray actually offers the tools for the user to do the thinking you say is not necessary.

In almost every single movie each piece has been meticulously thought out by the filmmaker including why these guys are punk rockers, why they have turned to cannibalism and obviously based on that why they listen to the Fine Young &lt;b&gt;Cannibals&lt;/b&gt;. So to say you shouldn&#039;t think is to go against the filmmakers intentions because they certainly thought about it a lot.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lobot said:&lt;/b&gt; It&#039;s funny that horror fans are disappointed by this.  For one, it&#039;s not a horror film.  It&#039;s a loving tribute to 80&#039;s sci-fi B-movies.  ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK is the main influence here, even the title font is the same as all of John Carpenter films.  Tyler Bates score is also very much in vein with Carpenter&#039;s scores as well.  And at the end there is a great homage to THE ROAD WARRIOR.  While not perfect, this is a love letter to cheesy movies from the 80&#039;s.  Of course it doesn&#039;t make sense, it shouldn&#039;t have to when it&#039;s trying to be like a B-movie.  Some people just didn&#039;t get it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Just as Max became a hero to many when &lt;i&gt;The Road Warrior&lt;/i&gt; hit theaters, Sinclair did for me - she kicks ass!

Bottomline, although the acting left something to be desired, most of the rules go out the window when it comes to B movies. Everyone has their opinions, and critically this doesn&#039;t rank, but it was fun and will definitely find a place in my movie library.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;ckybltz said:&lt;/b&gt; While Im one of the few horror fans who hasnt seen The Descent yet, I LOVE Dog Soldiers, one of the most underrated horror films ever, in my opinion.  Good acting and some great practical special effects and gore.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You must check out The Descent, there is one scene in there especially that almost makes you feel claustrophobic it is pulled off so well. A definite must see!</description>
