MOVIE TRIVIA PRESENTS. . . .
THE DESCENT
THIS 2005 MOVIE REALLY SCARES THE AUDIENCE WITH ITS UNIQUE SETTING AND UNIQUE STORY. AT FIRST, YOU WILL FIND THE MOVIE BORING BUT AS THE STORY GO ALONG, YOU WILL FIND IT NOW EXCITING AND SUSPENSE. . .
SO HERE ARE SOME OF THE TRIVIA ABOUT THE MOVIE. . .
THE DESCENT
- The cast members were taken to a rock-climbing center in Derbyshire to help prepare them for filming.
- This film's poster art is borrowed from a portrait photograph by Philippe Halsman ofSalvador Dalí, entitled Salvador Dali In Voluptate Mors. (The photo itself was inspired by surrealist Dali's gouache Female Bodies as a Skull painting) This same imagery was also used for the poster for The Silence of the Lambs.
- According to the audio commentary on the special edition DVD, there was a exact replica made of Nora-Jane Noone and after the movie was finished, she got to keep the head of the doll and put it in her mother's freezer as a joke.
- Watch closely during the scene after the cave-in. While the girls are arguing about how to get out, Sarah is moving her flashlight about the chamber. She shines it on a ledge for a fraction of a second as she is moving the light around, and you can can see the shadow or outline of a crawler. When she passes by the ledge again with the flashlight, the shadow is gone, and you can faintly hear a scurrying sound as it is running away.
- The appearance of the creatures was kept secret from the cast members until the first scene in which they encounter them was filmed. When the cast were finally filming the scene where the girls encounter the crawlers, the girls were genuinely scared and screamed the building down, running off set and laughing.
- There is a shot of a "beasty" much sooner than you think. Not long after they start the descent, in the cave that they light up red, when Sarah hears children's laughter as is checking out where it's coming from, look in the background to her left and you'll see a silhouette.
