    Perfect timing on this lol, I just watched this a few days ago. Such a good movie imo!

    Yeah dang, I just saw it for the first time last month. I was expecting a psychological cave thriller and was very surprised when it turned into a creature / slasher sort of deal! Great movie

    I’d say there’s a bit of a psychological aspect there. The protagonist is dealing with a lot of trauma, and I’ve read the movie is sort of a metaphor for that. Which I guess I can see it!

    In case you didn’t know, there’s actually two different endings!

    Fan Theory. Sarah is the killer

    No need for a theory, it's fact. Her seeing a baked cake with her long gone daughter showed you what she was seeing. As far as I'm concerned the screeching of the mutants was also a hallucination.

    Definitely puts a spin on the sequel if that's true

    Do yourself a favor and skip the sequel. Absolutely wasted 1 hour and 34 minutes of life watching that dog ass of a movie.

    I can't remember why it was bad, but I remember it being quite bad.

    Trauma does that. It was so awfully made that your brain decided to recycle those Neurons.

    Well done brain.

    The ending doesn't make sense. There is no motive for the last 2 minutes of the film.

    I remember I was still working at Blockbuster Video when it came out.

    When I saw in Fangoria magazine that it wasnt the same director as the first film I was like "oh no. here we go."

    Went in expecting it to be mid. Wound up getting garbage. What a shame cause the original film is such a well made well paced horror movie.

    Shit, I've been in a bunch of caves and it was freaky even before the monsters showed up.

    Saw this in a packed theater. The first creature reveal was the loudest collective "gasp" I've ever heard. Excellent movie.

    the human actors didn't see the creature actors at all until they were filming those scenes. their reactions at seeing them is genuine.

    Oh hell no. The way I would raise hell if someone did that to me - filming in a dark wet cave and you surprise me with a creature like that?! Hell nah

    Maybe you could sit upside down in the chair and pretend you're getting a pedicure.

    I’ve been watching progressively scarier horror movies with my 12 y/o for the last year or so, and nothing has scared her. We just did Paranormal Activity 1-4; nothing. I had the thought the other day that it might be time for The Descent which is too scary for me! (Mostly on account of the claustrophobia)

    This looks like AI, tbh. Why do they need a manicure in the middle of the shooting process? And if this is for the movie - why do actors do it themselves?

    I thought the same too, but it has been posted pre convincing Ai.
