it was too cryptic for a out right horror flick. i kinda got the impression that that meskin/asian chika was sleeping with that Sarah? girls husband? mr. copper tube head....and the daughter died, right? so, did she feel the slaying of her skanky friend satiate her vengence, therefore fulfilling the dream; hence, the blowing out the candles a completion of task? Jacobs Ladder rip-off? maybe...AAP said:

i wish i had more hands... so i could give that movie 4 thumbs down! nah it was alright, it had it's moments.
i watched it when it first came out so i'm having a hard time remember things. I thought that chick got out of the cave and that's how she ended up driving away???? i guess if i don't remember it didn't really have that big of a impact on me.

you fucking kill me....jesus.....you really do. GG must be a very special girl to put up with you.......
the ending is actually TWO endings the one where she gets out and drives is the first ending.
then they just incorporated the part where that was supposed to be a dream into it and she wakes up in the cave about to die.
rather then have the Alternate ending selection on the dvd they throw it all together.

how is it her fault??? the little brunette chick purposely left without the map!?!?!? or am i forgetting parts again?
she didn't take care of her husband. he was drifting off, perhaps fantasizing about what it'd be like to have a wife that would sleep with you other than to procreate. she caused the accident. she was the reason for this reunion of unplausible characters to go spelunking. she caused that cave in. it was her fault. she's basically a murderer.mustang_00 said:

i believe there are even two endings, according to imdb.
im gunna go with she got wasted at the end.
im gunna go with she got wasted at the end.
1) Sarah is grieving and under psychotropic medication (the camera stays a few seconds on the pill bottle, as if this might be important).
2) Claustrophobia and hallucinations are common in caves (Rebecca says this just before they enter the cave). Sarah has some kind of panic attack in the small tunnel... Plus she has visions/dreams that are pretty creepy. Someone in another post said something about the dream where her daugther's face transforms into a crawlers's face, which could be a sign that both the dead daughter and the crawlers are products of Sarah's imagination. I quite agree on this (or else, why put this dream in the film?). In the same way, "when Sarah screams at the end, it turns to the sound of a crawler", meaning this is all in her head. This makes sense, once again.
3) A lot of the women are not killed by monsters: the first one breaks her leg in a bad fall... what if she died in that fall? Then, Beth is accidentally killed by Juno (and finished by Sarah...). Also, the medical student's death strangely resembles a suicide: she does a dangerous action, and Juno tells her to stop, exactly in the same tone you would tell someone not to jump from a roof. Plus the girl uses a knife, like she wanted to cut the rope to fall down and end her suffering, or maybe cut her own throat. THEN the crawler comes. Finally, Juno is injured and left to die by Sarah.
4) Did you notice that Sarah is the first to see a crawler and is the first to see them again when they "attack" (she's filming I think at this point, which is quite interesting... we see the monsters throught her "apparatus", her "eyes", her mind/psyche maybe?). Also, after the first attack, Sarah gets isolated, while the others stay together or eventually get back together (this could be another hint that Sarah is not like the others, that she's in another state off mind, that she becomes crazy maybe). Also, before the first attack, the first crawler that we see is in a shot showing Sarah (in the first big chamber, when the flares are lit). Again, it can suggest that Sarah imagines the creatures.
5) Just before Sarah sees a crawler for the first time (right after Holly's injury, the crawler flees), she CLEARLY hears the sound of a child or maybe child crawler (again, the crawlers show themselves to Sarah. Why not to anyone else? That's pretty unlikely, unless it's in Sarah's mind). The sound of the child is another important clue that the crawlers might be in Sarah's mind, since she's obviously still obsessed by her daughter's death.
6) Why doesn't Sarah tell the others about the bloody claw/finger marks on the cave wall? I think this suggests that Sarah is the only one to see the marks. I mean it is VERY unlikely that she would keep this info to herself. Just imagine what would your reaction be in such a situation.
7)Judasdracula2000, in another post, wrote that Sarah killed 5 crawlers. 5 crawlers... her 5 friends?
8) Sarah is probably very angry at Juno for several reasons: the possible affair with her husband, the car accident (it seems that the husband was distracted by thoughts about Juno), the lie about the identity of the cave. So there's motive for a possible burst of rage.
9) The title... The Descent. This obviously means the "descent" in the darkest and creepiest human tendencies (fear, rage, savagery, murder) as well as the descent in the cave. This is no absolute proof that the monsters weren't real though.
10) The crawlers can climb walls and pretty much "walk" on the ceiling of the tunnels. That's just impossible. Only insects and maybe small mammals with light bone structure could achieve this. There's no way a monkey could do this either (Of course this could be an exageration or error from the writers rather than proof of the no monsters theory.)

What an interesting interpretation you have there APP.
1) Wouldn't you be on drugs if your daughter was killed with a steel pipe going through her head?
2) It is no surprise that she has dreams of her dead daughter, I would too. She was under a lot of stress fighting off those cave dwellers it is only natural she would dream of happy times.
3) I beg to differ. There was only one girl who was not killed by the cave dwellers and that was the girl Juno accidentally stabs, and Sarah kills her to put her out of her misery. Now I did think the girl with the knife was going to cut her rope, but nope she ended up going to her death with a cave dweller. And Juno was not "injured", Sarah deliberately stabbed her with full knowledge the cave dwellers where going to get her. I think that’s murder.
4) Seriously APP if they all had cameras who'd be minding the trail, come on now.
5) Why won't there be children there, did you see the women? Remember she was the one fighting in the pool of blood after her man was killed.
6) Sarah probably didn't want to scare them, would you?
7) There were way more than 5 dwellers deaths; Juno alone killed three in one shot. Let's see there was two in the blood pool, one on the ceiling, several the two girls were battling...
8 & 9) now this I agree with
10) Okay I'll agree with this if you can tell me how superman flies and Spiderman as that super web feature.
Are you having nightmares APP? lol
Peace

it's all about environment. adaptation. i think, because they obviously had poor sight, with tiny, cataract covered eyes. so the excellent hearing is explained, like a......idk, i was gonna say bat, but bats don't rely on hearing....now i'm pissed, fucking stupid, fictionally inaccurate movie.....

It makes sense they have poor eye sight and small eyes, caves are dark really no need to see. Seriously would you want to see yourself looking like them..yikes! Did those creatures ever stand still long enough where you could see there ears. Did they even have ears? I don't remember. I think they had sensors throughout their body for locating moving objects. Suction thingys for clinging to the walls and ceilings. How did they survive? Like all other species food and sex, got to have those priorties in order.HumanTarget said:

I watched the UK version a few months ago and don't remember everything
BUT I have 2 theories
Either the whole thing is a dream
She is experienced a near death experience and the whole cave stuff never happened
There are a few details to substantiate this theory
or
There has never been any monsters
She has hallucinations b/c of the accident + drugs
Anyway Natalie Mendoza is hot
