I feel so comfortable knowing I will NEVER ever do some stupid shit like exploring an unknown underground cave.
u never know
@@harper6389 well what about John Edward Jones hehe he's the best
@@eddiew2325 let’s just say i wouldn’t take any cave exploring advice from him
I'd rather take a a trip into a cave with a professional guide and the proper equipment and preparations.
While also telling everyone you went to a completely different cave system.
Them claustrophobia scenes are scarier than the creatures
Which is why I never wanna actually watch this movie
It coulda been pretty good without them if the cave was just a natural disaster and they hallucinate the monsters. Like at the end we can see how they actually died.

Everything is spooky but I do like
My dad loves horror movies but this one freaks him out for that exact reason. He's claustrophobic.
when juno said “we all lost something in that crash.” just really makes even more sense now.
Sad thing is, I don't even think she really liked Sarah's husband. Feel like she only slept with him for some weird thrill of secretly seeing her best friends husband. Would fit her character tbh.
Actually Juno is allive. Its shown in Descent 2. Actually Sarah and Juno both die in the sequel.
Bankaioken X9000 lol most cheaters are like that . Not many people are stupid / controlling enough to end up dating someone who would cheat with another person
@@moongawddess8161 Like I'm glad people aren't that dumb, but sad at the same time cause of how many people do it anyway... almost wish it was just stupidity 😓
@@kristalsunuwar8675 thanks for the spoilers, biatch.
Moral of the story:
*DON'T GO INTO CAVES*
C.J
But i need those Diamonds boiiii
As someone who got stuck in caves twice, this is very Wise. The first time a friend got me out, but the second, our lights got ruined at the bottom of a 20 meter deep chasm with sharp rocks after having descended another 20 through a narrow cave...we had to swing across the cliff tied to each other and crawl our way out in pitch darkness! Took us hours and tons of bumps on rocks.
Also don't go on trips to the middle of nowhere with your sh**ty friend if you have mental health problems.
@@joshanonline Nope.Nope.Nope...etc.
@@JazzRockablity That's what I say when I see a cave lol I never explored caves again.
Also as @Lala said, can't go dangerous places with sh*tty people. 100% regret. I got stories of my own, but what irked me the most didn't happen to me. It was some guy who brought 3 kids to explore some easy caves, but his a**hole friend decided to play a prank on the kids and left them alone in a dark section. They got disoriented and wandered off, so the two adults couldn't even find them!
The cries and screams echoed in the mountains like somebody was dying and the 2 adults were running through the tunnels and forest while yelling. My pal and I helped but the big brother found them in a hole after a few mins...
No was hurt, but those kids probably never explored caves after that either.
Never go adventuring with your friends. Nope. No. Not Ever. Not even then.
-*any horror movie*
Can't go adventuring with friends if you don't have friends :)
@@kamiiioof894 I really wish I didnt relate to this
@@kamiiioof894 lol just don't go adventuring, Period.
😄
My friends and I are camping now and everything is-
That crash was completely Paul's fault. Who the hell is comfortable taking their eyes off the road to look at the passenger for that long?
I once had a gf that got mad at me by not kissing her while driving on a road... Our relationship didn't last for long.
Hahaha
My thoughts exactly.
@@immense_dreamer Thats a Red flag if i ever saw one
@@kleitoes Haha I know.
Well in his defense, The driver of the other car for some stupid reason also have their eyes elsewhere at that exact moment in time to not move out of the way or at least sound off the horn.
I honestly love how the monsters aren’t around from the beginning. They are trapped in the caves for quite a bit before the crawlers actually first appear. This one scared me a lot when I was younger
Same! I found this on Wikipedia "The director elaborated, "We really wanted to ramp up the tension slowly, unlike all the American horror films you see now. They take it up to 11 in the first few minutes and then simply can't keep it up. We wanted to show all these terrible things in the cave: dark, drowning, claustrophobia. Then, when it couldn't get any worse, make it worse."
@@LetsFindFun"ramp it up slowly".... Proceeds to brutally kill off protagonist's family on camera within the 1st 5 mins... Hahaha but for real tho I liked this one, it really took me by surprise
It's difficult to get people to wait that long to see 'the boss badguy'. Few movies can pull that off but, this movie is in great company because 'Jaws' waited 24 minutes to show Bruce.
I agree that this is definitely one of the best horror movies ever put on film 🎥❤
Dude that scene when Juno stabs Beth in the neck is probably what scared me most about this movie...the sheer instinctive will to survive in that swing and the morbidness you feel from seeing Beth’s face...powerful shit. I was like “damn that looked like it hurt so much!”
The Descent was an interesting horror movie. Now we know what makes those cave sounds in Minecraft.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache yeah
Just Some Guy without a Mustache no cares
Yeah
True that jellal
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU EVERYWHERE I GO?!
Me and the boys mining diamonds at 3AM (2019 colorized)
HAHAHAHA
Lol
Do you know a Juno?
Gavin Ridgeway lmfao yup
Don't you mean me and the girls?
You could see the pure remorse in Juno’s face after she stabs Beth. “What the FUCK did I get us into?” Just cycling over and over in her head in the moment. It had to have felt like a total nightmare. This scene as a whole, but especially Juno’s reaction to Beth gives me goosebumps
I prefer the first ending bcoz i like bittersweet ending. I like that eventhough she got out she is deeply traumatized by the ghost-like image of juno n her dead daughter for the rest of her life. It implies that she got out physically but not mentally.
bittersweet endings are overrated
There is a sequel
@@lampad4549 overrated? Is that why it got removed? When the movie was made that wasn't overrated.
@@lampad4549 That's fair. I personally find brutal or tragic endings to be overrated. I feel like even mediocre films are looked at more favorably for simply being brutal and punishing.
actually the original ending is much more bittersweet since she dies but is reunited with her daughter. her hallucinations give her the illusion of warmth and familiarity in her unfamiliar and desolate environment. the alternative ending is just a typical cliché "its not over yet blah blah" cop out
The subtitle of this movie should have been “Juno is the worst”
Religious Otaku she at least had a few redeeming scenes lol but yeah she sucks pretty bad
In part 2 Juno is revealed to be still fucking alive and later died in Sarah's arms, yeah, imagine that lolllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Heather Holt I guess I just got it on dvd so imma watch it again to see
Sequel sucks ass, but her death was satisfying
*THE DESCENT*
or
Juno is the worst
The original ending was supposed to be the girl, the main character goes crazy and kills her friends in the caves. But the director changed his mind when the studios wanted a sequel later. Hence the Descent into madness.
I had no idea there was a sequel
@@aml-zq5mc not worth it. It ruins the whole point and meaning of the title "descent." If you're curious, watch YMS's The Descent 2, he sums it up perfectly.
@@knox7945 knowing about the original ending to part one I was let down with the twist in the beginning not continuing in that direction.
@@DaJesster0405 I know I was too. If they truly want to make a proper sequel, they should have made new characters, instead of using Sarah again. Leave the ending of either the US and UK up to the imagination of the viewers. Have the characters be a rescue squad or a some adventures and if they want to show some tidbits of the original, it should show the victims dead bodies in proper locations, their gears, and cameras lying around. And not show Juno or Sarah at all if they want to keep it suspenseful.
i never heard anything about that being the original story but i have heard many theories that she is the killer and she jus hallucinated all the creatures and instead was killing her friends instead of actual monsters
This didn't even feel like a horror movie. The characters were so smart and badass violent lol.
what? is smart going into an uncharted cavern and not telling the authorities where you were actually going. Or sneaking up on a friend whos killing monsters. Or doing all this with a person going through PTSD at the time. Or pulling out a knife and not trying to use it till after you are fatally wounded. lmao they were moronic, the plot was built upon their own arrogance and stupidity.
Oh almost forgot the long ass stare that caused the crash in the first place
Its not a horror film if the characters aren't stupid
The book is amazing if you are interested its by jeff long i feel like its loosley based but not directly
Yeah but i liked that about the film
If you are claustrophobic, this is a horror movie. Trust me haha. Seeing them crawl through those narrow tunnels barely wider than their body. I'd rather fall off a skyscraper or take on an army of monsters, slashers, zombies, etc any day!
Juno: terrible friend and person but *really* good at fighting what the heck
don't matter
She wasn’t a psychopath or a sociopath. Actually learn what those terms mean.
Actually Juno is a good person and Sarah is more fucked than Juno. Check out the second sequel aka Descent 2 u will know what i mean. I dont want to spoil it for u.
@don't matter Sarah is more of a fucked up. Chexk out Descent2 and u will know. Rather Juno is a better person than Sarah
@@kristalsunuwar8675 I mean just in the original, Juno may have had some fight or flight reactions and stupidty in going into the cave, but Sarah was tottally evil. Going around mercy k i ing everybody.
Its the usual thing in horror movies. The horrible back stabbing friend is the best fighter and the loyal friend is the weakest fighter.
The pipes killin’ the family caught me WAY off guard, especially the way he presented the scene so quickly and moved on hahaha
Ya the sense of tragedy was palpable -- and we know we are in for a ride.
Anyone else watch foundflix and dead meat just to watch horror movies?
Gotta scope out which ones are worth to watch.
Yeah he does give pretty good descriptions of them XD
Don’t forget spookyrice too
Normally yes, but I actually saw this in theaters, definitely ready for the Foundflix on the sequel I never saw tho.
Nope. None of us.
Juno didn't kill beth. BETH KILLED HERSELF. She snuck up on her without making any audible sound.
That don't justify anything
@@ForrestFox626 yes it does lol. If your in a fight for your life with these things jumping you from every angle you hit first and ask questions later. Chick killed herself by sneaking up on someone fighting for their life. Juno was 100% justified here. Well justified is maybe the wrong word, but she certainly didnt do anything wrong.
@@johnathanera5863 They wouldn't have to fight for their life if Juno took them to the actual cave they were suppose to go to.
I think that the fact that she just left her like that even though Beth pleaded for her to stay is what really sucks about Juno. She could have at least mercy killed her like Sarah had, but instead she just ran off
Yes it was an accident , but she is a shady ass bitch who lied about Beth's death ..
She sucks !
Juno is a really interesting character. It’s a really low blow she was having an affair with her best friends husband. That’s unforgivable. In the caves, however, she was very protective of everyone and fought really hard to keep the crawler from getting Holly. With Beth she just couldn’t accept she did something so awful to her. Beth, quite frankly, was a goner, there was no way they were able to help her. It was clearly an unfortunate accident.
However, if Sarah and Juno hadn’t lost the husband/lover would Juno have been as protective of Sarah? Or would she have taken advantage of the situation and left Sarah on her own.
Seems like she did all that because she felt guilty. Imagine if it came out minus them being in this situation. They would have to pick a side and who would side with Juno and indirectly support infidelity, much less with the spouse of one of your closest friends? The friend group would have splintered or dissolved altogether.
@@caramia4143 I completely agree!! No, Juno wasn't a total heartless monster but she WAS selfish and a bad friend overall. I think she cared a bit and did in fact love her (sarah) and her other friends to an extent but I genuinely believe that had the affair never occurred that she would've been on the more ruthless side naturally and maybe even more keen on sacrificing her friends to save herself, although, we will probably never know what she would've done had the affair never happened. So we're all just kinda left here to let our imaginations run wild 🤷♀️😫😡
Juno was an A-grade twat. Cheats, then tries to be too smart and explore an unexplored cave.
Juno is the reason Paul crashed because he was distracted. Juno is the reason they went into an unknown cave. Juno killed Beth, all bad choices that were accidental yes… but cost all her friends lives. If she hadn’t tried to get Sarah out (from guilt) she would have been irredeemable.
its like playing Tomb Raider on Dark Soul's difficulty
Especially the blood pool scene. I guess the 2013 reboot got some inspiration from that scene.
Well played!
Tomb of the Giants
red wolf92 dark souls will forever be the second hardest game
lol yep
I mean, in Sarah's defense, bats are scary. Especially if they fly directly in your face.
Bats really aren't scary at all. They're the puppies of the sky.
You either die because of bat or live long enough to be THE BATMAN!
Its smart to be afraid of bats. One of them might be dracula looking for some virgin blood
@@PunkdRebel two camera people set up outside a cave to catch the bats flying out, as the bats flew the camera people were covered in bat droppings which led to madness, bleeding from the eyes and mouth and then agonizing death. Bats are scary!
@@flareardiente434 Or rabid.
Listen. I feel like a better sequel would follow a new group entering the cave and finding Sarah, who had become accustomed to the environment. I don't know if she would try to get them out and escape with them, or if she would be the villain.
That's basically exactly what happened expect replace Sarah with Juno
@@paragonoftorna2548 but I think it would have a lot more emotional weight since we got to know Sarah a lot better than Juno, so seeing her transformation would be more jarring. We know what's going on in her mind, and her accepting the new lifestyle and losing her mind would be an interesting character choice
@@sexymothman9620 I see what you're saying
@@sexymothman9620 it would be a cool twist for the horror movie antagonist to be a transformed original protagonist.
sexy mothman basically grave encounters 2
I'm pretty sure Juno didn't know that other people had explored the cave previously; she seems genuinely surprised, and I think the point of that scene is to show how she cares more about being first than about her friends' safety, as she's too pissed to care about her friend's bleeding rope burns.
It also serves as a warning that other people have discovered the cave but never reported it (ie they found the cave and died within it therefore never publicly naming the cave)
I don't think Juno intentionally lied about them being the first, I think how old the anchor is and the cave system still being unknown is meant to imply that people have been there, but the previous spelunkers never made it out.
I agree, she really thought they were the first, obviously the creatures are were people that got trapped and never made it out, who adapted to the cave life and through years of incest became those ugly monsters.
@Hey Mister DJ Well often the purpose of these sorts of reviews is to inspire further thought on the movie that's being discussed. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the subject, if you could elaborate further.
@Hey Mister DJ However on top of that I do believe that Juno is the human 'antagonist' of the movie, seeing as she had the affair.
@@donaldcrider8291 It would take thousands of years of evolution for those creatures to have likely come in to existence with the morphology they had.. I doubt it was people who got trapped, left their tools in the caves, and never made it out.
@@H41030v3rki110ny0u I agree 100%, it is more likely those who never made it out were killed by the troglodytes.
I could not even imagine going in a cave like that. You could not pay me a billion dollars to do it. If you have to crawl through some super dark, insanely tight space. And there's no 500% reliable way back?
That's BAAAAD news man.
@꧁༒ⱤɨCʞƔ༒꧂ pretty sure? lol. What's the point of earning that if you die at the end or if there's pretty much no way out
꧁༒ⱤɨCʞƔ༒꧂ i wouldn’t do that for a trillion dollars. i’d rather get hit by a bus multiple times.
ArtsyFoxo right and people really do this and disappear 😳 I believe it’s things like this in the caves
Ew a furry
It was a fun movie but I still think of it as "attractive, badass and reckless climber chicks who don't exist in reality".
Y'all seem to forget Juno is the sole reason they all died in the first place. She literally lead them to their deaths because the original plan wasn't hardcore enough for her edgy self.
Paul walker is
It's not that it wasn't hardcore enough, she's made it about herself finding a new cave when originally tye trip was supposed to be about Sarah
agreed. i would have sued her. she gave them false information. and she didnt tell anyone where they were. dumb doll face
but you guys also forgot that if they want to survive, they need to stick together. Sarah was just so selfish for killed Juno after Juno tried to save her. Like girl be traumatized so bad that it blurred her mind. Think again, if she and Juno teamed up together at the end, they maybe could escape together and then confront their own guilt and feeling, that would be so much more moral. In real life, If you want to move on after trauma, you better be forgiven
@@iminlovewithscorpiorising7909 I feel like it didn’t make sense for Sara’a character, in my mind the perfect ending would have been with them getting out together and making up or going there own ways. Despite it all i think they really loved eachother, the way juno kept looking for sara despite the danger and sara trusted her so much was sweet. I hate that they ruined it with the cheating
I will say, while Juno may have been the reason they all died, she wouldn't have had any reason to know and I can't fault her for Beth's death entirely due to the circumstances (I mean, people punch haunted house workers on reflex by accident all the time and they aren't in any real danger!) and I kind of can understand why she'd not want to explain the accidental death she caused. At least not while they're all still in such a dangerous situation and while it's still fresh in her mind. I think she didn't deserve to be murdered for it, especially because she was trying to make up for it by saving those that she could later when the others were fine abandoning them in order to save themselves. Sure she wasn't perfect and shouldn't have been sleeping with her bff's husband, but murder is a bit too far imo. I'd have preferred a redemption where she dies trying to save Sarah
Mominaodiji good point
Juno is fighting for herself and Beth was still alive and maybe helpable. Juno caused the situation in the cave and the situation that distracted the husband into the crash
She deserved to die
She had no idea that Beth was still alive though and she definitely couldn’t have been helped. And are you telling me it’s her fault that the husband couldn’t keep his eyes on the road, yes she was sleeping with him but that’s his fault too and he was driving the car, not Juno
@@leapy3165 Juno chose those caves. chose unexplored caves. Stabbed her in the neck then ran. a neck stab doesnt kill you and she was still alive. Juno ran to protect herself. Junos death was the happy ending everyone wanted. The 2nd movie was just a continuation of the delicate US version.
Well in the second movie Juno does in a way dies saving/helping Sarah
Does anyone else just watch these even though they haven't seen the movie?
I watch them *because* I haven't seen the movie
Alot of them. I'm just not interested in the movies. I just like listening to him tell me about them.
Pretty Much
i just love watching him explain movies even if i have or haven’t seen it. it’s also lowkey relaxing
I don't f with horror movies lol
I was surprised he hadn't done this movie up until now. Now waiting for him to do part 2.
@Alex what "happy" ending?
The happy ending lol right they all die.
Pretty sure you have that mistaken. If I remember correctly the last survivor gets shot in the end by cops or something after making it out
Gumball50 that’s correct indeed there was no happy ending lmao idk what this dudes talking about a happy ending
Rick rolled bitch I think he means it went with this movies ending where Sarah escapes
still waiting for an ending explained for the sequel "The Descent Part 2" plsssss make it happen!
Sameeee
Why though? The second one is ass.
@@cheezyfilmsproductions1842really?
"The descent" (2005) is the best British monster horror movie of all time! The ending was very sorrowful and creepy!
Yes, let’s sneak up on someone who’s guard is super high and just killed a monster. That’s really smart
Satanic Hillary Clinton lol exactly, I now Juno’s the wrong in the wrong for most of the movie, but that wasn’t her fault and she even went back for Sarah
yeah he gives Juno way too much shit in this breakdown. she didn't kill Beth on purpose. dumb ass bitch snuck up behind her without announcing herself or anything
@@Mattallica13526 She deserved every last bit of shitting on she got....except for that one single thing, I agree that was the only thing that wasn't actually her fault
@@jakhawkins4330 uh, no she doesn't. he's clearly biased and kill counts video has a lot more nuanced view juno.
honestly all this video is is 'let's just blame juno for literally every mistake in the movie' even though only 1 out of the 10 bad things she did were things she could known about.
even then, all of juno's faults are WRITING problems, not character problems.
all of the other characters are balanced except juno, not only is foundflix biased but so is the writer smh 😒
@@restingsadface youre really not even saying anything.
Still one of my favorite movies. The suspense, that reveal and the real ending...perfection
One of my favorite movies also!
*I love how they were originally gonna do a mix of boys and girls but stuck with just girls because the creators thought that there weren't many horror films where only females were the main characters*
Also he didn't want romance to get in the way. Which is smart. It's a Horror movie
@don't matter Are you sure about that lmao. There are thousands of horror movies disproving thar very fact.
@don't matter That's what you choose to acknowledge instead of what I actually said?
@don't matter You were stating something as a fact, if you need some assistance.
@don't matter yeah, it's not like statistically I horrors men die way more often than women
14:05 I actually think the “mate” was her child because of the child’s higher pitched voice
Yes, especially we because we see it on Sarah's face. She knows the sound of a mother in pain, and when the mother crawler comes, Sarah knows she fucked up.
the creature was clearly smaller, too, and weaker
And was smaller. Child size.
It is a child crawler indeed, not the mate.
Wow what a great day for youtube. Get a Dead Meat Kill Count episode and now a Ending Explained.
Re animator and the descent we are so lucky
Yup
Lol
What if they both did they same move on the same day
SnowAlex yup
The ending is really messed up. can't imagine being all alone and going crazy inside your own mind, scary and sad at the same time.

There’s two endings
@@BeverlyHighland Yeah but the American ending sucks.

i’ve watched like 25 horror movies in 3 days that I would not have watched otherwise. this mans voice is my shield to the scary.
But doesn’t it kinda spoil the mlvie
Well I’m not going to watch the movie. It’s too scary.
This is my FAVORITE horror film. It's the only horror film to actually scare my dad so bad he jumped and hit his leg on the coffee table 😂👌
This film was a pleasant surprise. It was recommended by a Blockbuster Video customer as I was looking for something to watch. Ohhh... those were the days. Back when you'd stroll the isles, reading the video case descriptions and running into some cinafile who completely enlightened you to a film gem. Ahhhh... back in the day of actual social interactions.
@@givemeshelter. Reading this just made me so nostalgic. It was exciting, having a video night, spending ages looking and debating, and the excitement on the rare times we were allowed to pick two films! Two!
Not complaining about having basically every film easily available to watch without even leaving the house, though. The ability to have a huge variety to choose from, and also not being such a big deal if you've picked a dud movie, but there's still nostalgia for going to the video store.
I love your propic 😂 ash is a queen -love 5sosfam
@@breadboibrae agreed
This movie terrified me as a child, but I admire its atmospheric horror now. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!
Ya me too thank you parents
Adults are weird
Same, I couldn’t even finish the first time my mom wanted to watch it with me, I told her to stop the movie when Sara saw the crawler. However, several years later I tried to watch it again and I actually loved it.
Hey, my husband and kid got killed in a car accident and put me into a coma.
Let's go off-road speeding! ♥️
I prefer the ending where Sarah is still in the cave, mostly for killing Juno. Juno was far from innocent, but Sarah still did her dirty.
Fuck Juno
Jack Cristo agreed
@@xXGen3sisXx I'd like to
Agreed. Very few ppl would truly deserve that. And being the one who dealt it out is a whole other level of ...not nice.
@@xXGen3sisXx Juno displays the best character of all her friends.
“She can kill some stuff in addition to screwing everyone’s life up”🤣😂🤣🤣 best line
The creatures look like the falmer aka snow elves from Skyrim

I miss playing Skyrim. Lost my disc a few months ago
Me too and then bugs they live with ain’t nothing to fuck with either 😂😂😂
I smashed the moist button even tho I have absolutely no idea what you just said. I just hate the numbers being uneven, it was at 99, and I made it a even yard..yw 😝
you cannot pay me enough to participate in this kind of "adventure". I'm way too lazy.
You know what'd be the best way to reconcile my best friend with whose husband I cheated on her?
Hmmmmm
Let's bring back to her where the accident happened and then go exploring a totally unknown cave system without telling the authority just in case things get bad.
Also, I'm gonna lie about it to the group entirely.
The Descent. Because going on an adventure with a friend group after a traumatic experience is *always* a good idea, as far as horror movies go.
IT IS a good idea, going into caves is not
So basically, the crawlers are the Falmer from ES?
Yup.
It's widely believed that the Falmer's appearance in Skyrim was inspired by the Descent.
they just trying to protect their farm of creep clusters
sapphicgeek24 I believe that statement too bad the Dragonborn wasn’t with these girls
@@robdouglass20 The Falmer would be dead before the Dragonborn could even enter the cave. 😂
this movie deserves way more recognition. too many people haven't seen it. great flick.
Beth was definitely a hallucination and Sarah just found the keychain when she found Beth's body. Sarah went insane once she knew they were doomed after their entrance was blocked. It also gave her an excuse to let everyone die so that she could kill Juno like she wanted to deep down.
I think this is definitely what really happened.
Yeah I definitely think Sarah just found Beth's corpse and the necklace and just made up the events in her mind. Maybe the crawlers did kill Beth at the initial encounter, and Juno's necklace was ripped off and Beth held onto it
My husband showed me this film a few years ago. Omg it gave me so much anxiety. The idea of being stuck somewhere no one can find me is terrifying. Then sprinkle creatures in there. Forget it. Never gonna go cavern exploring in my life.
just stick to the "tourist traps" they were complaining about :P. Personally, I've been in a few like Carlsbad(spelling?) caverns and it was very nice, had a nice walking path, people that told you about parts of the cave along the way. On the way back, we stopped at the mouth of the cave to watch the bats fly out. Give me tourist trap caverns over splunky anyday.
I’m claustrophobic so spelunking is not for me. I’ve been through a couple cavern tours though and they are pretty neat. Clear paths, big open spaces and very little danger.
Personally I love happy endings so yeah, she escaping is my preferred ending. But the other ending is way superior.
Ichi6 the happy ending ain’t that happy considering it’s why we got that bad sequel
@@KingOfGaymes let's be real here. The sequel wasn't bad. It was cringe, boring and I wanted to gouge my eyes out. But you are looking at it wrong. The OG movie was supposed to be a standalone thing. If you look at it as a whole. Then yeah. Even my preferred ending is bad.
7:00 I mean, she didn’t know someone had been there before them. Whoever left that anchor definitely died.
Aww that ending with her and her daughter is soooo sad
“Watching in the distance” they’re blind though😂

My dude that’s...exactly what they look like
I can totally buy the concept that they were lost miners that evolved over decades
They kinda look like wendigos but smaller.
LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!
@@simunator *orc noises*
Another thing I really like about this movie is how they made the monsters, not by looks, but by their own ability. What I mean by this is, they weren’t exceedingly overpowered like some monsters in other films similar to this, and vice versa they didn’t make them too weak. The characters had a fighting chance to make it out alive, and along with that, they didn’t give the characters strong plot armor. It was all fair game and this added a realism element to the movie. If you haven’t seen it, I’d definitely recommend you watch it.
Thank you so much for reviewing this. One of my favorites
The concept of this movie is so terrifying, such a classic
Juno's pickaxe turn legit gave me chills and I had to hold my throat for a second, jeez...
Honestly I felt bad for Juno it wasn’t her fault at that Moment
Corazón Guzman nah it’s still her fault, they wouldn’t even be there if it wasn’t for her.
Yeah that’s a good point haha but still...sucks to be her lol
No way its her fault. After the terrifying fight she just had. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU QUIETLY APPROACH FROM BEHIND WITH SHOULDER TAP???
Yeah, I know I JUST ran away from you but now I'm gonna come back to help AFTER the fight is over and slowly approach you silently from behind. Completley YOUR FAULT for swinging at me while your still on edge after getting your first kill.
i mean im pretty sure she wasn't lying about the cave being unexplored or at least nobody knew people had tired to explore it
for most of the movies i dont need a explanation of the ending, but now i catch myself watching all of your videos just cause i like the way you talk, it makes me feel good, its just a good time, like sitting down and hearing a good friend talking about something.
Y’all this has got to be my worst nightmare
I always liked the idea of the monsters not being real and all the girls are hallucinating.
@Ardissia Thompsom there's only 1 real person and the other people are also hallucinations
@Ardissia Thompsom shared delusions have been extremely loosely documented like the thing in france where people danced till they died
Ardissia Thompsom French here: an ingredient of wheat made people hallucinate and dance for days, encouraging the idea that sorcery was real
Ardissia Thompsom you become highly susceptible while hallucinating. One could easily convince the others there was some sort of monster.
Mass hysteria
Here in Argentina we had the uncut version wich I agree is the best version. Very Lovecraft. Good review as always 👍
I don’t understand that second ending though because there is a second movie and she did actually make it out. She’s out in the beginning! So that doesn’t make any sense to have her stuck in there.
They originally didn't intend to make a sequel and if I remember correctly, the reason they changed the ending to the one where she gets out was because audiences didn't like the true/more downer ending (as is the case with a lot of horror movies)
@@MeeplandHeights Except this is just revisionist bullshit. He likes one ending, and thus tries to make it seem like the "real" ending. The real ending is the one that was released. The one that was successful, and the one that got a sequel.
@@Tyrantofthewind but the one he liked was still the first ending, and therefore the true ending, the original intent before marketing got their claws into it. So the fact that it was the second that got released doesn't mean shit mate.
If you've ever seen Return of the King, there's a good example. In the original release, there are scenes cut with Saruman (the main bad guy in the previous movie). With the theatrical release, the last we saw of him was his his armies getting defeated, but they literally left him hanging about in his tower and forgot about him. The extended (true) cut showed his death scene and completed his character's story.
Basically, if one ending leaves the story incomplete or lacking compared to the other, then it is not the true ending. And, given that The Descent's theatrical ending both didn't fully conclude Sarah's character arch and made the story incomplete enough to warrant an unplanned sequel, thats the case here. It has nothing to do the dude's preference so get your head out of your arse (and yes, this is coming from someone who just spent 15 minutes proving a point with LotR as an example, I am aware)

^^^^^ This
@@Tyrantofthewind "The real ending is the one that was released."
Except it's not that simple. Both endings were released. The US got the version where Sarah escapes, while the UK got the ending where it's revealed to be a dream. And so there are, in effect, two versions of the story, both officially released. Two versions which you are welcome to pick from.
I prefer to think that she had a psychotic break and killed all her friends. Imagine if the monsters weren't real.
This was a theory banded about by the filmmakers too.
I've watched so many videos and you've always are in the comments.
Way better storyline
It’s a good thought, but the monsters are definitely real due to the sequel
That would have been awesome!!
The first half is way scarier than the second half to me, I've been spelunking before but the idea of being trapped underground in tight spaces is one of the most terrifying things imaginable
Yeah once the monsters showed up my belief had to be extended where as before I was really putting myself in their shoes.
But what if. ..since Sarah was so drugged up, maybe there are no monsters. She just imagined everything and she was the one who killed them all cause she lost it when she realised Juno was her husband's mistress
That’s what I think too!
Psych meds don't make you hallucinate and go crazy. That'd be a horrible interpretation since it'd be the same old mental illness stigmatization that horror films tend to indulge in.
@@penelopephelange For that idea to have worked and maybe it was a part of the script once, they could have shown that Sarah left the meds in the cabin and that the group were trapped underground long enough for them to wear off.
Still a painfully inaccurate depiction of trauma and the side effects of medication like you said, but it does seem like there was something more in the story with her mental health and the meds that didn't make it to the final version.
Hmm yeah but the other girls saw the monsters and the bones too
15:16 he said “walkers” instead of “crawlers”
Going into a cave is always bad idea because there is always a monster lol. Also thanks for the explanation for horror movies
Hell, i just think humans were not meant to explore caves. So much peril. Walking Natural Bridge Caverns is enough caving for me!
@@rururu5630 we are born on a placid island of ignorance and it was not meant for us to sail far in the unknow
Even without monsters, caving is pretty terrifying. I'm not worried about small spaces even, but have been caving three times, and won't ever do it again. I gave it a fair shot, but it's dangerous, incredibly dark down there, and you spend your time wiggling through tiny gaps, frequently convinced that yep, this is it - this time, you're truly stuck and you're going to die down here. It's horrible, lol.
@@aleksbb2537 not saying it is wrong to explore the unknown...but damn caving seems terrifying. Getting stuck or having a section cave in. It is amazing how humans have found ways to explore areas we were not meant to. I will stick to hiking above ground, where I have an escape :p
@@scarletamazon3455 Three times? That sounds like more than a fair chance!
Finding out that you’ve put out a new video is a 10/10 experience every time.
Aquemini-Andre’s Verse. Yes you know which one. That makes two of us lol
Why are these videos called “ending explained” when its basically a summary of the whole movie.
Welcome to the channel
@Brandon Sutton wanting to know what the ending means already gives it away that you've seen the story.... duh!
@@babygirlshari4223 I don't think you understand how explaining things work.
ngl one of the only horror movies that actually scared me when i was younger ... still love watching it today ... great vid
Beth: hey what’s going o-
Juno: N O
Everyone: I prefer the happy ending.
Me: the happy ending is her friends, husband and daughter are still dead.
SAME....aww hahaha
But she still escapes.
I heard that originally, the crawlers were all going to be in Sarah's imagination, with the first crawler popping up when Sarah was having her hallucinations in the hospital. This, of course, would have meant that she killed all her friends, except for Beth, but then they decided to make them real. If that's true, that's kinda cool.
I would’ve preferred that tbh, especially if she subconsciously knew that Juno and her husband were having an affair.
Holy crap that would have been better, but I don't mind the creatures. I personally didn't like them as creatures BUT, they did cause the girls to be frantic and cause some good scenes to happen. Like running in fear and then just falling in that pit etc.
I remember when I first watched it, I thought what if this was all Sarah’s imagination because she didn’t have her pills down there and started slowly losing it and imagining things. I thought it was cool to debate this and shows you the movie can have multiple interpretations
This isn't even an ending explained it's basically a quick recap of the entire movie...
"It's not a crawler but Beth who gets the pick right into her throat!"
"You've really done it this time Juno"
😂😂 no shittt
@@homelesshannah50 It's not Juno's fault in this situation, though. He's putting too much blame on her. Juno reacted entirely on instinct, and Beth didn't do anything to make herself known to Juno as not one of the Crawlers.
@Jenny K Walsh But that's being irrational. Juno is arrogant and egotistical, but she's not the villain.
@Jenny K Walsh There's a certain line where 'fun' just becomes frustrating, and blaming Juno for something that's absolutely not her fault is one of them.
@@ravenbloom6732
In Beth's defense, she was probably in shock at that time. Shock is a helluva state and it makes you do stupid mistakes. Although no one can really blame Juno for stabbing her, Juno became the villain and deserves being talked trash about just for leaving Beth.
This is one of the best horror movies ever! If only the sequel was even a fraction as good...
Explain the ending not the movie we have watched it already
The movie was fantastic right up until the goofy cave creatures came into play, then it turned to shit.
It was dumb af. The creatures were ruined, how the fuck was Juno still alive? The characters were annoying stereotypes and that stupid sacrifice at the end was dumb, only for the woman to be thrown back in.
@@fawnieee what? Juno is dead, that actually isn't her in the car. And she never left the cave so how did she get thrown back in. She clearly wakes up in the cave after passin out there
@@fawnieee actually watch the video before you complain for no reason
Hey hows it going man keep up the good work i wouldn't have even seen a big fraction of these movies if not for you! Are you going to do descent 2?
Love how my three fav channels all released videos about my fav movie at around the same time 😅
Anybody who explores caves, why would you go through a super small hole like that, that seems dumb to me 😢
*Going through a small hole

Bunny Dexter lol
Watched this movie a looong time ago and still remember that frustrating ending and the creatures..
The scariest part of this video is the way he says "Spelunking"
I always thought the crawler Sarah killed was a child crawler not the female crawler's mate. The body size seemed smaller than Sarah and so that implied when the female crawler found her child was dead she went aggressive.
I think it was a child crawler, I think that's why the female crawler was mad.
Can you do 13 ghosts I felt like it was actually a interesting concept for a movie
That movie has a pretty simple ending tho
That move was so beautiful to look at. Even though the story isn’t the best it’s a movie I love dearly.
Nova Beam I think he already did that one.
He did it
@Nova Beam ikr It’s my childhood (..no joke)
The part where Sarah reveals the necklace to Juno is honestly one of my favourite scenes.
This is honestly one of the most scary movies I’ve seen in a while. Idk why but they did so damn good with this movie...
this movie is an actual nightmare to watch if u have claustrophobia
Thankyou for all thies excellent explanation reviews love it all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The creature wasn’t watching, but listening from a distance as they are blind due to living underground.
The camera work was amazing; it truly made me claustrophobic, and I’m not really.
Your channel is so great.
This entire commentary is gold!!!
I honestly like her escaping, because it seems pretty obvious that Juno in the passenger seat wasn't real but a hallucination. So even though she physically escaped, she's come out mentally trapped.
Exactly. Everyone loves to complain that the US ending is the cheap and stupid 'happy ending', when in reality it's just as depressing as the original UK version, maybe moreso in a few areas.
Think about it, Sarah may have escaped but at what cost? All of her friends and loved ones are dead, and whatever sanity she had left after the accident is long gone. What life would she even have after all that? The most likely outcome would be an insane asylum, blamed for the deaths of her friends, all the while haunted by her hallucinations driving her further into madness (I'm ignoring the sequel because some movies really don't need them).
As for the UK ending, yes it is more morbid to an extent, but at least there's more closure and makes more sense in context. Either way, neither of them are good endings.
@@theunpopularopinion9833rather than calling it the UK ending, call it the original ending.
