Irony, my husband was killed in a car accident, but I still find the same theme in a lot of movies redundant. They need to be more creative.

[@SolSeal]

I remember watching the Mist and thinking that not always the right answer is the better answer. The woman who runs off to the Mist to find her missing son. At the time me and probably everyone watching were thinking... “well... she’s dead now”. At the end she ends up saving her son. An irrational decision ended up being the right decision.

[@Shiirya]

It wasnt an irational decision, her and the MC did both decision that makes sens for them respectively, so i dont think there is a right or wrong anwser. She goes out to search her children because to her that makes sens they are her world. But for the MC his son is already with him going outside would apparently endanger him so it makes more sens for now he stays in At some point you could even say that the crazy lady makes rational decision throught her point of view, but na she's just an old crazy religious brainwashed bitch lol

In the mist everyone misses the truly messed up bit, the woman at the beginning who pleads with all of them for someone to go with her to get to her children, the main guy says no not wanting to endanger his son, is on the trucks after being rescued with her kids.

[@d.aliceden3095]

In my original watch I actually thought the creatures in The Descent weren't real and I still kind of like to pretend that's true. The idea that the women aren't hunted by fictional monsters and are actually just frightened by the power of suggestion in the dark as Sarah slowly loses her grip on reality as she seeks revenge against Juno is kind of a better ending IMO.

[@petrilampela]

I only found out about that possibility with my second watch and the movie got so much better. There's a purposefully placed shot showing the pills that she forgot to take with her when they left the cabin and went into the caves. There's no reason for the shot to exist if it didn't hint at the possibility that she just gradually lost it.

[@LilyApus]

there's a behind the scenes making of for the Descent and not once do they hint at anything like that, also that's really stupid sorry.

[@d.aliceden3095]

@@LilyApus I mean it’s fine if they didn’t LOL, but it’s in no way stupid. A woman’s slow descent into madness enhanced by claustrophobia and the dark as a means of dealing with how her life has broken is actually more interesting to me then ~*cReAtUrEs*~.

[@LilyApus]

@@d.aliceden3095 a woman tripping out and killing her innocent friends in horrible ways because she's mad at her friend who fucked her husband is more interesting than cave mutants?

[@petrilampela]

@@LilyApus It would be way more stupid if they had mentioned it in the extras. Many movies have plot points that are meant to be ambiguous and if the filmmakers always pointed them out then they would destroy all that. Another similar example is Babadook (spoler alert), does the director/writer say in extras or interviews that the monster didn't really exist? I doubt that. And yet many viewers saw it that way. Many horror movies have a surface level and another lever beneath it that's psychological/politic/satiric/etc. And you can enjoy them either way.

In the descent sarah didn't stab juno in the end because of the affair, she had already known about that and put it past her. She stabbed juno because for one thing, they were only in the caves in the first place because of Juno and she also found one of their friends who was dying who told her that when she was attacked juno ran and left her. That's what the keys in her hand are that she shows juno, a good luck charm that the other girl always wore. There's also a sequel that makes the escape ending canon, where Sarah has been found with ptsd induced memory loss and a bunch of climbers plus an asshole cop take sarah back into the cave system to find her friend's, and Juno is actually still alive down there fighting against the creatures.

She stabs her because her friend tells her about the affair and warns her not to trust her. It’s a combination of the two.

The pendant Beth hands her and she shows to Juno before slashing her is the evidence of the affair, given to her by Beth just before she died.

The Descent for me has one of my favorite movie endings of all time, meaning the second one where she escapes. I watched the original first and I was so angry that it was just her dreaming but I also at that point didn’t know that there was another version and the second time I saw it, it was the one where she got away and I was so so confused but pretty young and thought I was imagining it lol. When she gets away and leaves JunHoe behind though, it was like biting into a supreme pizza where the dude who made it for you thinks yah cute and it’s more topppings than they’re actually allowed to use or something idk; one of my biggest complaints about movies like that is the idea that almost being eaten by monsters together somehow makes like AWFUL, like truly terrible things somehow a bridge to forgiveness. Sarah said nah, and I said hella yah Sarah, NAH. Probably the most realistic ending I’ve ever seen ina movie that is so completely unrealistic..

Can you spoiler it so i could be less traumatized ?

[@inanimateapple867]

​@@015_agyasadhana3 sure. SPOILER ALERT TO EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT A SPOILER (also, beware, EXCRUCIATINGLY LONG COMMENT, I can't just explain the ending without explaining all the other stuff) In the beginning, the main character and his family are driving to their new house. They reach it safely, and everything seems normal (aside from some strange noises from a room that the father has told everyone not to enter as it apparently has items that belong to the previous owner who still has yet to pick them up), until the brother is kidnapped. The brother returns home 3-4 weeks after the kidnapping and he remembers nothing, which, as explained by the doctor, is because his memories were so traumatic that his brain deliberately erased them. The next night, the main character has a dream that his brother is sneaking out at night (without the limp that he returned to home with) and running off to a gang of strange people. They find him, chase after him, and catch him. He then wakes up. This causes him to grow suspicious of his brother, as he slowly starts to realize that his brother is not acting normally. He overhears his mother talking to someone on the phone about him "catching on". He tries to eavesdrop but the sound of his footsteps alert the mother. He tries to pretend that he was asleep by rushing back to his bedroom, but from now on, they both know that they've both been caught in the act (the main character knowing that something isn't right and the mother knowing that he knows that). The mother alerts the family and they finish off their plan. The main character tries to sneak outside and to a police station, but he finds out there that he isn't living in the year 1997, he's living in the year 2017. He comes back home to a scene that his "family" deliberately set up. They tell him that they set this scene up the exact way that he left a crime scene of 2 murders he had committed 20 years earlier. By now, the "medication" he was taking for his "anxiety" (it was actually drugs that were meant to make him hallucinate things that were supposed to accommodate their acting, for example, him looking much younger than he actually does) had worn off, and he was regaining the memories. In the beginning, that scene with his family in the car traveling to the house? They did try traveling to the house, but they never made it there. There was an accident on the way, an accident that left his 2 parents dead and his brother dying and in need of surgery. He didn't have the money for the surgery, so he took up a job from someone he met online, with the promise that this person would give him the money he needed to pay for his brother's surgery. What was the job? Killing someone. Specifically, he was instructed to kill only the mother of the family, and to leave the other two children unharmed. The main character went into the house and was almost immediately spotted by the mother. He immediately regretted taking up the job, and tried leaving, until the daughter came down from her room and started screaming. He told her to stop, but she wouldn't, so he ended up killing her. Then the mother started screaming, so he killed her too. He left the last remaining family member, who ended up calling his dad in tears telling him that someone had killed his mother and daughter. He then met up with the person who had ordered him to kill the mother, who happened to be the doctor of his brother. The doctor tried to kill him for not following his instructions and also killing the daughter, but in an accident, the doctor, while strangling the main character, lost his balance and fell off of the edge of the building that they were standing on. All of this was so traumatic that the main character's brain had completely erased these memories. The main character, after having comprehended this, then tries to run away from his fake family (still remember?). While running away, he gets hit by a bus and wakes up in a hospital from a coma. The only remaining family member of the family he had killed (the son) is there to greet him. He asks if his father was the one who ordered him to kill his family (as he had found many, many life insurance papers signed for his mother just weeks before she was killed). The main character tries to deny this but the son is not fooled. He contemplated poisoning him with the syringe full of poison he brought with him but instead decides to just give it to him to decide what he wants to do with it. The son then walks out of the room and jumps off the hospital roof. The main character decides that he doesn't want to live anymore, and also kills himself. I apologize for making such an enormously large comment, in retrospect I should have just made a smaller one, but I don't think I wanna redo this again.

And he was sent to kill a mother and he unfortunately killed the daughter and he gets hit by a bus, and wakes up in a hospital.

[@girlbuu9403]

There is a balance to be walked when having this kind of ending, one between horror and fury. Eden Lake, Inside and Martyr's made me more angry than horrified. I am less like "This is going to keep me up at night in terror" and more "This is going to keep me up at night thinking about finding these people and torturing them to death slowly". Wickerman and The Mist walk that line a little better, maybe more because the beasts in the Mist (crazy evangelical not withstanding) are hard to feel rage at because they are animals, as are the bees in Wickerman.

[@ZyroShadowPony]

Yeah. Its easier to understand nature justification or otherworldly phenomenons but human nature always gets to you. Since you know youre a human and wouldn't understand what these people are thinking. Eden lake, those people mad about losing their kids?
