Matpat: “Crawlers may not be so fictional after all.” *Looks at newly open caves. Looks at 2020 calendar, notice it’s almost July* Me: “SHUT IT DOWN! NOT THIS YEAR!”
The crawlers didn't know human scent since they've never had an encounter with them before. Also they had been crawling around in dirty caves for hours, so their scent could have been 1) hidden Or 2) They smelt like the caves.
so in the first movie they clearly show a dead deer (I think it's a deer) with odd injuries implying that the crawlers did venture outside the cave as well as a huge pile of bones with human skulls and bones at the end which implies that the crawlers did have contact with humans and ate them so yeah, they must have encountered and known the scent of humans
It would not be fun to have to ride 80 floors in an elevator with some random cow. I would be terrified, thinking that every clank or creak was the cable about to snap.
It actually is just able to have symbiotic relationships with certain species harvester ants. This is highly unusual because ants tend to hate and murder any potential roommates, but the spiders live with them in some kind of mutualistic behavior. IDK why they're called ant worshipper though, they don't really do that.
To be fair, discovering a dead species is not the same as discovering a live one. For example, assume that T-Rex had not been discovered yet. The likelihood that it was alive would be astronomically low; it’s just too big for us to reasonably assume we’ve missed it walking around in the world. But the likelihood that we haven’t found the animal because it’s dead and buried is a waaaaaaay different thing.
@@Smelly556 I do remember reading the brontosaurus I think was fake. Or brachiosaurus. But yeah that a hundred or so year's ago when they were discovering that and they we're rushing to prove evolution and discover new species that they just throw some if the fossils together regardless of the attributes of the bones.
@@catsareyes6446 No, MatPat is in denial. There's no reason whatsoever to think the crawlers seen onscreen were the ONLY crawlers that exist. That's just silly. He knows deep down how plausible it still is.
You forgot that we only see the younger active crawlers that are near the surface and ever go out to hunt on the surface world. With thousands of miles of caves deeper than we saw there could be tribes of them in much higher number the deeper you go with different food sources including cannibalism.
Fun fact; there's a scene early on when the girls are in caves, but the crawlers aren't known yet, and you can see a figure in the background. That was a mistake and a infact it was just someone from the crew who accidentally went into frame, but the director left it in because a) it will give the viewer a bit more of a "oh crap. They're in danger" feeling before the characters. And 2) which is more of a theory; the viewer won't be as blindsided by the crawlers as normal. Which I love
The sequel was a missed opportunity to expand upon the lore. Since it’s implied that the crawlers go to the surface to hunt at night, they could have done something with a bunch of people camping in the woods near the cave where they get attacked by a swarm of crawlers

The primary reason for blindness evolving is probably that when creatures can see it becomes their dominant sense. In a dark cave, creatures relying on eyesight would die faster than those who could see worse and were relying more on their hearing.
They hunt above ground so since hunting for food is one of their main selection pressures this is not true. Why evolve adaptations for hunting below ground when it likely makes up a tiny fraction of their caloric intake.
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 Dude, the Cave mentioned in Canada was legitimately discovered like 2 years ago. We do not know the majority of many places in the world, especially in the thundra.

Did anyone else notice that the “skull” in the poster is actually the Dali Skull. Which, by the way, has been used in other film posters, like Silence of the Lambs.
5:50 I use to have this fear as a kid because every time I’d go into the bath tub I felt like it would break off the wall and fall into a cave full of monsters, thanks for reminding me!👍
*The Film Theorists:* Reference the crawlers' likeness to a movie that came out over a decade later *All of Skyrim, and the Falmer that lurk beneath:* "Am I a joke to you?"
To me, the crawlers kind of sound like the monsters from the Time Machine, where, over centuries, some people evolved into crawling cave creatures that are sensitive to day light.
Wasteland Inc. or they just happened to have similar ideas. The idea of cave goblins isn’t the most out of the box idea. No criticism to The Descent or Skyrim; just saying that it’s possible they just had similar ideas instead of “copying”
me: The crawlers cant be real, and if they are, they’re probably in caves somewhere in Siberia or something. matpat: humanoid species have been discovered in a cave in the philippines. me *a Filipino*: Oh Shi-
I remember seeing thus In theaters when it first came out,went with a friend who rock climbs ,caves etc. She said it was pretty scary claustrophobic wise.
The concept of the monster are more the monsters in “The Silence” movie and the inbreed, they could have had a bunch or different colonies in the male move on to another colonie once they reach a certain age like lions do, but love this theory.
@@joesjoeys Can we get a timestamp? And do you mean that he disprove if could exist in modern times but yet can't due to small population being unsustainable for breeding or the other way around?
There are also a species of ant Tapinoma melanocephalum, otherwise known as the ghost ant, are able to inbreed without the offspring facing consequences because of, so it is still possible that could be possible they could still exist.
I live in middle Tennessee on top of a multi-state region that is filled with miles and miles of caves, I can attest that there are for sure tons of undiscovered cave networks here. It’s a story for another day but I saw what looked like eyes shining in the dark in Indian Grave Point cave years ago. I’ve never gone back in but in fairness plenty of people go in the main areas of that cave uneaten.
I looked it up and basically they live with ants in their mounds and that’s about all we know so far. It’s a big deal though because I guess ants are really picky about who they let into their mounds
Every Elder Scrolls fan watching this: hm... an albino elf-like creature who’s blind and live in underground caves? Where have I heard of this before? Oh yea... *Falmers*
Where are they now?: Today we are looking at The Croods family, they once had once rising to fame by getting their own movie. But are they still the harmless cavemen we knew? The truth may shock you....
Well, a lot of isolated extinct species are found even in islands, so it is bound to happen. Native Filipinos that retained genetic lineage are still unlikely to hail from the ones from the fossil record unless DNA tracing is done, since the physiology is significantly different. Then again, natural tree climbing talent in natives is possible, so...
I found this movie years ago as part of my normal annual binge of horror movies during the Halloween season. When I saw the "crawlers", here's what went through my mind. Me: creepy bipedal creatures in caves.... blind.... and attack (possibly eat) anything that come near them.... IT"S THE GODDAMN FALMER!!!! So yeah, having a movie with a horror monster and theme that felt literally pulled from my favorite video game, puts this in a top 5 favorite horror movies for me.
This movie has the only jumpscare that ever actually made me shriek Edit: It's the one where the crawler shows up behind one of the girls on the camera
Mat should see the videos about the last uncontacted stone aged tribe. They also have tines Low population down to 10s. Also inbreeding with no negative affects
I feel like the cover of the movie would look cool if it showed the characters descending down into the cave and the crawlers crawling up the walls of the cave
Honestly the implication that the creatures in the Descent are better are cleaning up the highways better than the American Highway Patrol and the Park service is the most realistic part of the film
Considering how badly even the first movie follows the "source material", or more like what inspired it, the book Descent by Jeff Long even the first movie is pretty darn bad... I remember the movie being announced and being extremely interested to see it only to be extremely disappointed in them having made a rather shitty general horror movie that only had parts of the original idea and none of its story, the book Descent is an awesome book full of truly horrific ideas and scenes where as the movie Descent is pretty much a dumb paint by numbers horror movie that even if I hadn't read the book would have left me wanting for more depth and originality... I really hope that some movie or television studio (actually preferably TV as a series could devote more time to making and actually faithful adaptation of the book and it's more recent sequel Deeper) would have the wisdom to pick up the rights to the awesome story of the book and bring it to life on the screen (be it television or movie screen, but like I said I for one would prefer TV as they could devote more time to the intricacies of the story and its wonderfully twisted and weird ideas)... So yeah, in my book both movies are bad, the part 2 is just even worse...
"Ha ha! Made you looks at your feet!" Me literally laying on the couch balancing a bowl of cereal on my chest and considering just drinking it so I don't have to lift the spoon: "Oh wow, you sure got me Matthew Patrick"
The first movie suggested the idea of the crawlers going to the surface to hunt though it didn’t show it happening. It’s implied they killed the moose at the beginning before the girls entered the cave, but it was left at the surface. The crawlers have been getting random humans for at least 100 years, since the girls find a 100 climbing anchor, but not enough to be a reliable food source. My question is would the crawlers really evolve to be totally blind if they are leaving the caves all the time to hunt animals and going near the surface?

Maya-Louise Mcpherson Are you afraid of digging holes now?
For some reason I am reminded of the book Holes.
Me too i watched this with my dad and i wasnt scared for the girl killing another girl but i was absolutely frightend
Unless u play Minecraft or terraria
MatPat: Mentions the Philippines

Yeah

"The monsters living under your feet"
Tremors fans: hey, I've seen this before
Oh no, first it was covid, then some violence, which was followed by the rise of Karens, and now we have to deal with pale goblins that possibly live under you house
Mat: build these gals a submarine!!
Me: That didn’t age well..
Did anyone else notice that the “skull” in the poster is actually the Dali Skull. Which, by the way, has been used in other film posters, like Silence of the Lambs.
Yes! Thanks for bringing it up. I love Dalí. So much for "if you really twitch your eyes" @ Mat Pat ;-)
Yeah thats what it was !
Candy man to
Isaak Uriarte camptan marvel
yeah the fact he didnt know that throws me off.
Matpat: Made you look at your feet.
Me: I'm laying on my bed fool.
“albino cave goblins”
Is it just me or is this an exact description of the falmer from Skyrim?
Basically, yeah. I hate the Falmer more than the Falmer hate everything on the surface.
They're just annoying. Not difficult, just annoying little bastards
*wisdom 100*
I didn’t know I could explore dwemer ruins in real life!
My exact thoughts!! They even look similar, and are blind. Maybe they’ve got a few chaurus tucked away down there.
5:50 I use to have this fear as a kid because every time I’d go into the bath tub I felt like it would break off the wall and fall into a cave full of monsters, thanks for reminding me!👍
“There could be unexplored cave systems under your feet right now!”
*Laughs in Florida*
Yeah, we only have sinkholes. If I go down, my house is coming with me!

July:
“WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!”
"Ripped off from "A Quiet Place" " Pretty sure those are just Falmer from Skyrim.
Well, since Skyrim was released 6 years AFTER this movie, it's possible that falmer was ripped off Descent
@@janedanchinova7072 right
Tyler you are so wrong this movie was before a Quiet Place and skyrim
2020: well I do need to do something for July

Ooh soo close heres 1 like for 100
*The Film Theorists:* Reference the crawlers' likeness to a movie that came out over a decade later
*All of Skyrim, and the Falmer that lurk beneath:* "Am I a joke to you?"
To me, the crawlers kind of sound like the monsters from the Time Machine, where, over centuries, some people evolved into crawling cave creatures that are sensitive to day light.
Fellow Dragonborn, eh?
They definitely look like Falmer, and I should know xD
descent was released 2006... 2011 is when skyrim came out
skyrim mus tof copied descent.
Wasteland Inc. or they just happened to have similar ideas. The idea of cave goblins isn’t the most out of the box idea. No criticism to The Descent or Skyrim; just saying that it’s possible they just had similar ideas instead of “copying”
Crawlers from The descent: Can’t see, has good hearing, lives in deep caves.
Wardens from Minecraft: Can’t see, has good hearing, lives in deep caves
Falmer from Skyrim: Can't see, has good hearing, lives in deep caves.
That’s what I thought they kind of look like them too! Falmer that is.
The Descent is one of my favorite of all-time horror movies. Nothing beats being 11 years old watching it in your Grandma's in Arizona
This movie was HORRIFYING when i saw it as a kid
The fact that you watched it when you were a KID makes me very concerned about your parents raising methods.
Agreed
Sans Skeleton Nah, I saw it as a kid as well and my parents raised me well. It all depends on the kid and if the parent knows the kid can handle it.
It is pretty scary
This movie is horrifying as an ADULT 😂😂😂😭
5:55 MatPat: "Haha, made you look at your feet!"
Me: [Is lying down] "I'm four parallel universes ahead of you"
Isn’t that from terminal montage
Same
me: The crawlers cant be real, and if they are, they’re probably in caves somewhere in Siberia or something.
matpat: humanoid species have been discovered in a cave in the philippines.
me *a Filipino*: Oh Shi-
New EXTINCT humanoid species
GG PILIPINAS
I remember seeing thus In theaters when it first came out,went with a friend who rock climbs ,caves etc. She said it was pretty scary claustrophobic wise.
"Their might be caves full of crawlers below you now, and you dont even know it!" *loads shotgun with lethal intent*
It sounds more like until dawn and that the crawlers are the human phase of wendigos
@@reinsama5436 They do seem pretty similar now that I think about it.
@@reinsama5436 or maybe the wendigo myth was based on the cave dwellers that the native americans encountered.
The concept of the monster are more the monsters in “The Silence” movie and the inbreed, they could have had a bunch or different colonies in the male move on to another colonie once they reach a certain age like lions do, but love this theory.
Re-watch the video. He disproves his own theory with earlier information, multiple times.
@@joesjoeys Can we get a timestamp? And do you mean that he disprove if could exist in modern times but yet can't due to small population being unsustainable for breeding or the other way around?
There are also a species of ant Tapinoma melanocephalum, otherwise known as the ghost ant, are able to inbreed without the offspring facing consequences because of, so it is still possible that could be possible they could still exist.
So, the end of this species would have been something like:
- Hey step crawler! I got stuck between this rocks!
Lol
This is great
Did they stave to death in those rocks? I dont get it
walmart skeppy it’s a play of the joke “ hey step bro I’m stuck”
Wouldn't even be step bro. It would be bro bro
I live in middle Tennessee on top of a multi-state region that is filled with miles and miles of caves, I can attest that there are for sure tons of undiscovered cave networks here. It’s a story for another day but I saw what looked like eyes shining in the dark in Indian Grave Point cave years ago. I’ve never gone back in but in fairness plenty of people go in the main areas of that cave uneaten.
The most disappointing part of this video is MatPat not explaining those spiders 😢😭
I looked it up and basically they live with ants in their mounds and that’s about all we know so far. It’s a big deal though because I guess ants are really picky about who they let into their mounds
Matpat and July 2020: Crawlers exist
Everybody else: Naaaah man you tripping,you tripping!

What spiders ?

Where are they now?: Today we are looking at The Croods family, they once had once rising to fame by getting their own movie. But are they still the harmless cavemen we knew? The truth may shock you....
That sounds like something mat pat would say
I buy that dude
"New species of ancient human discovered in the philipines"
Me a filipino: *Excuse me WHAT*
Well, a lot of isolated extinct species are found even in islands, so it is bound to happen.
Native Filipinos that retained genetic lineage are still unlikely to hail from the ones from the fossil record unless DNA tracing is done, since the physiology is significantly different.
Then again, natural tree climbing talent in natives is possible, so...

Me who moved out of the Philippines in 2019 and into Canada: glad I moved out, also PEOPLE WERE LOOKING IN CAVES WHEN I LEFT?
I found this movie years ago as part of my normal annual binge of horror movies during the Halloween season.
When I saw the "crawlers", here's what went through my mind.
Me: creepy bipedal creatures in caves.... blind.... and attack (possibly eat) anything that come near them....
IT"S THE GODDAMN FALMER!!!! So yeah, having a movie with a horror monster and theme that
felt literally pulled from my favorite video game, puts this in a top 5 favorite horror movies for me.
Mat pat “there’s a spider that worship
ants and no I’m not going to explain”.
Every person after hearing this “google here I come”
So true
cool but goodbye 69 likes
spiders simpin' e-ants lmao
is he talking about this article? "This Is Not an Ant - It's a Spider"
😂😂 yes
This movie has the only jumpscare that ever actually made me shriek
Edit: It's the one where the crawler shows up behind one of the girls on the camera
I’m pretty sure that elmo would make me shriek😂😭
That’s because it’s an amazing horror movie
Which one?

Mat should see the videos about the last uncontacted stone aged tribe. They also have tines Low population down to 10s. Also inbreeding with no negative affects
Yeah
Thats the truth cuz I'm lying down
i wasn’t even lying down i was just like “nah”
I was on my couch so I checked the carpet
I feel like the cover of the movie would look cool if it showed the characters descending down into the cave and the crawlers crawling up the walls of the cave
"I hope this soundbite doesn't get taken out of context"

Honestly the implication that the creatures in the Descent are better are cleaning up the highways better than the American Highway Patrol and the Park service is the most realistic part of the film
Us a couple months in the future in 2020: Heeey so matpat remember how you did a theory about the crawlers...😬
I want to think that’s totally unrealistic, but honestly, I wouldn’t be too surprised. I’m worried.

The sequel wasn’t as good. I thought a movie called “Feral” was also good. Also, nice! There aren’t many theories on here.
Quite out of context, I saw your pfp and thought it was mine for a second. I might need some glasses soon.
FerL GOOD
Considering how badly even the first movie follows the "source material", or more like what inspired it, the book Descent by Jeff Long even the first movie is pretty darn bad...
I remember the movie being announced and being extremely interested to see it only to be extremely disappointed in them having made a rather shitty general horror movie that only had parts of the original idea and none of its story, the book Descent is an awesome book full of truly horrific ideas and scenes where as the movie Descent is pretty much a dumb paint by numbers horror movie that even if I hadn't read the book would have left me wanting for more depth and originality...
I really hope that some movie or television studio (actually preferably TV as a series could devote more time to making and actually faithful adaptation of the book and it's more recent sequel Deeper) would have the wisdom to pick up the rights to the awesome story of the book and bring it to life on the screen (be it television or movie screen, but like I said I for one would prefer TV as they could devote more time to the intricacies of the story and its wonderfully twisted and weird ideas)...
So yeah, in my book both movies are bad, the part 2 is just even worse...
The reviews says feral is bad
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
That crab: 👁👄👁
Even worse is that it's not a crab, but a fish
It’s a fish😣
What made you think it was a crab?

Me literally laying on the couch balancing a bowl of cereal on my chest and considering just drinking it so I don't have to lift the spoon: "Oh wow, you sure got me Matthew Patrick"
The first movie suggested the idea of the crawlers going to the surface to hunt though it didn’t show it happening. It’s implied they killed the moose at the beginning before the girls entered the cave, but it was left at the surface. The crawlers have been getting random humans for at least 100 years, since the girls find a 100 climbing anchor, but not enough to be a reliable food source. My question is would the crawlers really evolve to be totally blind if they are leaving the caves all the time to hunt animals and going near the surface?
