[@LetsFindFun]

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."

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.

[@sailorarwen6101]

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.

[@caramia4143]

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.

[@leahalford5769]

@@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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

@@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)
