THIS IS NO CHRISTMAS MOVIE! | First Time Watching The Descent (2005)

[@GenRPG]

one of my favorite movies! the jumpscares still get me. I enjoyed your reactions!

[@JackDanReact]

Thanks so much for checking out the video! I loved this movie, i need to see Part 2 and see how Sarah settles in with her new neighbours 😅

[@Pragmatic__]

I love how hard ya both were trying with making the christmas theme work😂😂

[@JackDanReact]

With hindsight, I can confirm the movie isn't about Santa descending down our chimneys 😭

“He’s just standing there, MENACINGLY!” got me. Good edit.

[@jrod1591]

Also, I think you might also like “The autopsy of Jane doe.” Not too scary but it’s good for a scary movie.

[@JackDanReact]

That little patrick meme felt perfect for that moment when that orc thing was just lurking in the background 😅 And i just checked out The Autopsy of Jane Doe on IMDB and this is a brilliant suggestion, looks right up my street! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@Hey_Jamie]

@@JackDanReactwhy have you boys still not given us the autopsy of Jane doe! It is certainly scary, perfect for spooky month!

[@sidneyjacques.]

"winner gets to sit on santa's lap" was hilarious. Why watch Home Alone on the holidays when you have this?!?! Love the commitment of trying to make this a Christmas movie.

[@FredtheDorfDorfman1985]

I’m glad you guys watched this version. The other version ends at the dead Juno in the vehicle jump scare. This version makes the sequel make sense. They didn’t do as good of a job with the darkness and lighting in the sequel, but it’s not bad. If you guys want a movie with nothing but jump scares, if you haven’t seen it yet, “Smile” is excellent. If ya want a movie with pucker factor, “Fall” doesn’t disappoint. If you want some good cult movies, Ari Aster’s “Hereditary” and “Midsommar” are ones that provide an uncomfortable and disturbing atmosphere. Great reaction! Looking forward to more!

[@JackDanReact]

Thanks for checking out the video! 😊 I much prefer this ending then by the sounds of it! Sets it up perfectly for the sequel, which i'm hoping will be good, but more often than not sequels struggle to hold up to the original. Smile, Hereditary and Midsommar are all great recommendations!

[@Aeroldoth3]

"If you don't subscribe, Jack will undress himself and hunt you down..." Promise??

[@KeiraAmi2]

The way Dan looks at Jack is so endearing 😭 You guys should try Annihilation if you haven't already seen it!

[@lilscenechick1995]

Yes! There are so few reactions to Annihilation and that’s a real shame because it’s really one of my favorite sci-fi horror films.

[@babygoblingamer]

the crawlers were intentionally kept hidden from the other actors so they didn’t know what the monsters looked like until they showed up in the scene also the caves in both movies were giant sets and not actually real caves

[@misakamikoto48]

Its so funny when they insist at first half that this is a christmas movie and later discovered that its actually for Halloween movie 😅😭👌🏻

[@JackDanReact]

I can confirm that The Descent is most deinfitely not about Santa descending chimneys at Christmas! 😭😂

[@DanielSelk]

That scene where Sarah gets stuck takes my anxiety up to 11...then it starts collapsing. Oh HELL no! NEVER leaving the surface of Earth for the rest of my life! LOL! XD

[@JackDanReact]

I'm with you on this one, i'm perfectly content just chilling up here on the nice open surface 😅

[@katsukirenka1629]

I have a lot of feelings about lots of movies and this is one of them so bear with me. Thank you for acknowledging that Juno wasn't a horrible person for stabbing Beth. She's absolutely still a bad person on an ego trip and being so selfish and not thinking about anyones safety, but I don't blame her for stabbing Beth. That was a horrible accident after being brutally attacked. What we CAN get mad at Juno about is for leaving her to suffer and die alone (To Juno's knowledge), and then lying about it to Sarah. Shock is a huge thing and hurting Beth would have been traumatising, but Juno never came back for her. She kept looking for Sarah, not knowing if she was dead or alive, and she kept fighting to get an already dead Holly away from the creatures, but she never went back for Beth who was very much still alive when she left her. It's a little implied (in my opinion) that Beth may have been the only person to know about Juno and Paul's affair, which would give Juno motive to let that secret die with her. That's the final nail in the coffin in my eyes. Also, I found out that someone actually made a movie about the Nutty Putty cave incident called 'The Last Descent', which I am avoiding because I will absolutely cry but go for it if you want. If you feel like other cave and cave-like horror movies, I can vouch for these ones - Sanctum, The Cave, As Above So Below, The Tunnel, 47 Meters Down Uncaged, and The Pyramid

[@mattreimer382]

I watched this movie with all my friends when we were like 13-14 😂 Boy were we in for a surprise. An unforgettable experience

[@Voshana]

Santa's elves revert to their feral states in the off season.

[@Eric-ue6fm]

Good reaction, this movie brings out the claustrophobia in most people. For suggestions, try CARRIE (1976) not the remake, or THE MIST (2007) if you haven't seen them.

[@JackDanReact]

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out the video mate! 😊 Oh I felt that claustrophobia in those tunnels! I've not actually seen either of these suggestions. The Mist looks like it'll be right up my street, consider both on the list! Appreciate it!!

[@mentallyunw3ll]

I love watching people watch this movie! It’s SO good! I love seeing who clocks Juno from the opening scene, I really thought you guys would have gotten the hint. To answer your “don’t you have to tell someone” the answer is yes, I would 99% of cave systems are private property if they’ve been discovered. You can file for a permit with the city and they can give you the green light. That’s why Rebecca said “file a flight plan and stick to it”. If you don’t check in or make it back by your return date on the permit people will come looking for you. Unfortunately Juno took them to a completely different hell hole 🙄

[@beatrizpolyrhythm5109]

y’all should watch “as above as below (2014)” 😶is about an archaeologist who is searching for a treasure in the catacombs of paris

[@paolaaa678]

ive watched a lot of reactions to this movie & i think its kinda funny how most men see that interaction in the beginning between juno & paul as weird but dont think too much or they just miss it completely & on the other hand most women reactors clock it instantly lol

[@xoxH3L3Nxox]

I mean we never actually get confirmation it's not the way to Santa's grotto. I would imagine he would need a pretty decent security system to stop just anyone walking in and stealing the toys...enter mutated guard elves. For all we know Sarah is mere feet away from the workshop and some well deserved hot chocolate

[@secrets.295]

Well Christmas trees come from the woods, and they were in the woods. So I guess that counts 🤭🤭🤭. Anyway love the reaction and really enjoyed it. There is a Descent part 2 btw and you guys could actually know what happened. But I got to warn its quite sh*tty though. Haha. Anyway, can I make a request? 😁

[@JackDanReact]

Don't forget the reindeer! It could definitely still be a christmas movie... right? 😅 Thanks so much for checking out the video!! Part 2 is definitely on the list, and i guess sequels aren't usually better than the original, but looking forward to it anyway! And of course, we love recommendations!!

[@secrets.295]

@@JackDanReact Haha, yes reindeer too. Ah ok, I would love to request Dolores Claiborne. Its a very underrated movie based on a Stephen King adaptation. The movie is really a masterpiece. Shawshank Redemption is also another good Stephen King movie. And then Vacancy & Salt would be awesomeness.

Excellent reaction boys! Your dynamics and banterare great! Love this movie so much for all the things it doesn't outright tell you like Juno's affair with Sarah's husband and Sarah's PTSD hallucinations. Thelighting is fantastic and the characters are genuine. Looking forward to more from you.

[@JackDanReact]

Really kind words there mate, thank you! 😊 I really liked the subtleties, with Juno's affair which completely went over my head. When i was editing it was so obvious i can't believe i missed it!

[@lafatte24]

Actually re the nutty putty cave, help did arrive. He died because they had no way to get him out. Due to the angle and how deep he was stuck, they could not pull him out of the passage without breaking both his legs. Considering the heat, how long it had been, and the pain, he would not have survived. Also the consistent hanging upside down with the pressure in his head or some shit. So he was stuck in that position for 26 hours until he finally passed. I think that's the worst part about the nutty putty cave.... Help arrived but he was beyond saving and just had to wait for death.

[@ajchoch]

Just found this channel and have been BINGING your reactions. This is my favorite horror movie of all time, love your content.

[@Mesiawhy]

One of the best jumpscares in cinema history!

[@Thundernoob98]

Have y’all seen as above so below? It is the movie reactors tend to gravitate towards after this one for some reason

[@phinlyn]

Found you guys as I was wondering the Tube. You guys are super entertaining and delightful lol. Subscribed! :D And also, in regard to the Nutty Putty incident in Utah with John Edward Jones, it was actually a bit more horrific than how you described it, as he didn't die waiting for rescue, but well after rescuers were already there, likely thinking he even had a chance. After John got stuck, his brother (who was NOT stuck), did try to wriggle in and free him, but to no avail. His brother went to get help, and returned with an entire rescue team, like 100 people, who attempted to rig up a pulley system to help raise John. But the tunnel was too cramped. What I found interesting, from what I read, was that they claimed he couldn't be moved from his tight position without breaking his legs, and I'm busy thinking, "Okay? So break his legs then!" After knocking him out first, of course. Why it was less preferable to break his legs to attempt EVERY WAY possible to save him than to just have to leave him there, was and still is very baffling to me. But I also read that the cave material was too "soft" anyway to hold the pully in place for too long or something. Which, even then, if it was enough to hold him after breaking his legs to raise him up, couldn't it have worked? We'll never know. Sadly, John gradually was forced to accept his fate and spoke words to indicate as such (I forget what) until he gradually lost consciousness and died from cardiac arrest. The cave was then explosively collapsed to seal him in permanently and to prevent anyone else from entering. Truly tragic, as he was very young and had a wife and young child. 😞

[@JackDanReact]

Thanks mate, glad to have you here! 😊 and thanks for the super insightful account on the Nutty Putty incident, a truly tragic one. Was there any reason in particular they wouldn't break his legs to get him out of there or just because the cave material was too soft? Like you say, seems baffling that they wouldn't do this if it got him out of there.

[@lismariesweetie]

The nutty putty cave you were talking about, they made a movie about the guy dying upside down

[@gingerty9628]

One theory i always thought about was sarah had mental problems, and there was no actual creatures in the cave, she just completely snapped and hunted them down and killed the others.

[@joshuacoldwater]

9:49- While the US Forest Service recommends you let ANOTHER PARTY know where you will be, and when you will be back- it is only a recommendation. There are still no requirements today, mostly because of the fact that there are over 51,000 caves in the US. There is no government body that can oversee the allowance of caving for so many different locations. There are warning signs in EVERY cave that has been explored, at every level- but there are still many that haven’t been adequately investigated. Some people love this exploration process, they know that their lives is in their own hands- nobody else’s. You wouldn’t catch me dead doing any of this, what I call, “white girl shit”. Nope. 😂

[@tashahelms1522]

Love your insistence there was a Christmas movie in here. And totally oblivious to the start where Juno and Sarah's husband's affair. I enjoy your reactions though I've only watched two. They were both fire! 😂

[@Darth-Lesbian]

I’ve been spelunking but it was only once, in a very well known and mapped out cavern, we had guides both in front and behind, and we were never more than 15mins from real professional help. I’d honestly be terrified to go under other circumstances 😂😭

[@justlive2809]

i think Beth sneak out on Juno bc she realise that sounds was the reason why they got attacked in the first place she was clearly one of the smartest one . so for me that's why she didn't make a sound but i'm pretty sure that Juno was in the wrong state to have anybody coming near her sound or not ..

I personally prefer the ending where Sarah gets out of the cave. Honestly I don't quite think Juno deserved to be taken out at the leg for what she did. It was a badass moment but I wish the girls could have soldiered past it in a different way. Sarah doing that to Juno is far worse than what Juno did to Beth because at least what Juno did to Beth was an accident.
