2024-04-23 01:29:09 +0000 UTCJuno was in a relationship with Sara's husband. That's where the necklace ties in as proof. Beth confirmed it and apologized for not telling Sara

2023-11-18 18:25:23 +0000 UTCYouâre gonna hate me, but I steered Caitlin away from The Visit when I told her that it was basically a horror comedy, I think she would really dislike it. But tbh it would be funny to see her react to some of the bizarre comedy thatâs in it, especially all the scenes with the would-be rapper kid

2023-08-14 13:43:16 +0000 UTCThere is a reason I do not go caving anymore. As an adult my agoraphobia has gotten worse, but when I was 17, I would go to an adventure camp every year since I was like 8. One year we went âbehind the scenesâ caving in a big local cavern. You do all the stuff the tourists donât get to see. Iâm theory, incredibly bad ass. Until Sarah in this movie and I had the exact same experience. I got stuck twice on one trip. One was near the surface in a small little passage called the âbirth canalâ pretty appropriate lol. That was the easy one. Then we were crawling through to the â amphitheater roomâ and it turned into a belly crawl like where Sarah got stuck. Rocks on my back, water on the ground. Then my pack got stuckđ I should have taken it off before going through the crawl but rookie mistake. I couldnât reach my hands behind me to fix it since I could barely move. Thankfully I was not last and the person behind me was able to free my bag and we were able to mov some rubble so I could slide through. One of the most stressful 10 minutes of my life. Iâve never been caving again since. Fuck that đ

2023-08-14 07:57:04 +0000 UTCJuno was the best character. cool she had an affair with the husband, who cares, this is about life and death, juno deserved to live.
alex
2023-08-13 20:14:01 +0000 UTCJudging from the comments, I'm guessing you missed the plot point of Juno having the affair with Sarah's husband. This should be a fun watch.
Erik Kuhnle
2023-08-13 08:37:18 +0000 UTCyou need to react to youre next!!! it has smart characters so it makes for a fun watch

2023-08-12 20:13:57 +0000 UTCOh no I did not see this coming. She said one of my favorite horror movies was ... forgetfull. Oh no, my little horror heart. I'm ok. Imma be ok. I just ask for some space, at this incredibly difficult time!

2023-08-11 21:45:19 +0000 UTCAbsolute horror classic! Neil Marshall really hits it out of the park with this one. He did another horror flick called Dog Soldiers which I have yet to watch but heard good things about. I absolutely love this movie and the story he was trying to tell. It wasn't the Crawlers that were the bad guys but the girls for invading their space and then using their survival instincts to defend and kill as many of them as they could. Marshall said he wanted to portray the fact that when backed into a corner, these ladies would absolutely tap into their savageness to survive. The crawlers were modeled after Nosferatu the vampire. Makes sense. He can't stand light; the Crawlers have never lived in light. And talk about no light. The whole cave system was a set in London! I mean, that was one hell of a set. I've spelunked my fair share of caves and that set was pretty convincing. The British ending was much better. The American version is supposed to give theater goers hope, but I don't necessarily think surviving something like that would be great! Talk about the therapy and PTSD. As always, great reaction Caitlin! Can't wait for the next one.

2023-08-10 15:58:33 +0000 UTCSince you mentioned Until Dawn, have you watched people play the Dark Pictures games? Itâs a series of games just like Until Dawn made by the same people! If you havenât seen them before, it could end up being a blast if you gave them a try

2023-08-10 05:30:28 +0000 UTCJuno deserved exactly what she got đđđđ she slept with her best friends man who also had a CHILD. Thatâs an OPP!

2023-08-10 04:13:18 +0000 UTCI genuinely thought patreon would only show so much of the message and you'd have to expand to see my insanity.... why would patreon do me like this lol

2023-08-10 02:05:04 +0000 UTCHi! Really love this movie so I'm super glad you gave it a shot even if you didnât love it! It was one of the first scary movies I watched when I was younger and I'm pretty sure is part of the reason I'm claustrophobic lol I did want to go ahead and explain some things about the movie because it's one that you really have to pay attention to and even then stuff can be missed with everything going on in it. There was stuff I donât think I caught until I read an article about it delving into the movie lol. Iâm really, really sorry itâs such a long explanation but I love this movie and all my friends hate horror so I donât get a lot of opportunities to talk about it T.T At the beginning of the movie when we first meet the characters when they're rafting and Sarah and her family get sent ahead, Beth seems to give June a look after how June was with Sarah's husband, and to me it is implied that Beth knows about the affair somehow, but doesnât say anything to Sarah about it presumably because sheâs wanting June to, but then the family dies so thereâs no point bringing it up. Flash forward (and weâre takinâ on the world together lol) to when they are in the cabin the night before they go down, when they're looking at a picture of Beth, June, and Sarah from one of their previous adventures Sarah comments âlove each dayâ which she mentions is something her husband used to say. That night Sarah dreams about hearing her daughterâs laugh and then has the terrible nightmare, and then the next morning we see her taking pills. Itâs implied she has had to be put on medication since the accident. Moving forward to the actual âdescent.â This movie actually has two major through lines to follow between Sarah and June. Sarah hallucinates hearing her daughterâs laughter pretty much as soon as they are in the caves, with her hallucinations seeming to continue and grow worse the further down she goes. Both hearing the laugh and seeing her daughter holding a birthday cake, which I take to represent her agony of never being able to celebrate another birthday with her daughter. Itâs been one year since her death, so she should have had one, should be another year older, but isnât. This idea of insanity is also underscored by Sarah being the first person to see the wendigos (the creatures in the caves. You were probably reminded of Until Dawn because the game devs were clearly fans of this movie because they paid homage to it in a later game called House of Ashes). When she feels sure of herself, she brings this information to the group but they dismiss her and tell her sheâs seeing things. The movie is building up this sense of her unraveling. When they are attacked the movie beats her down, forcing her to sit close while one of her friends is eaten next to her, and then her finding her best friend dying from a terrible wound whom she unable to help and forced to mercy kill. Before this, however, Beth tells her it was June that did this to her, and hands off the necklace as proof. This at first doesnât quite penetrate to Sarah, but when she flips the necklace over and sees the engraving of âlove each dayââthe thing her husband used to always sayâshe realizes June was having an affair with her husband before he died, which does affect her. We do also see a visual change with her soon after when she falls into the pool of blood. She is not the same person who had the panic attack in the beginning when she got stuck, but now someone who can lay calmly, half submerged in blood, while a winding is crouching with itâs hand on her head. She is much colder, and much more brutal after this. She fights with bones and rocks, and bites a chunk of flesh off one wending before jamming her fingers into the eye sockets of another. Each encounter with the wendigos seemingly making her more and more unhinged. With June the movie works to make her look worse and worse to Sarah. Thereâs the affair, of course. Then June chooses to take them caving to a place no one has ever been before, and doesnât tell anyone, putting everyone in danger for what Sara assumed was her ego. She is one of the people telling Sarah sheâs seeing things when she first brings up the wendigos. June mistakenly kills Beth, but then abandons her when sheâs clearly still alive and reaching for her, not bothering to stay with her to help her, sit with her while she passes, or mercy kill her. She was with Holly when she died. She was with the other two when they died. And then at the end when Sarah asked about Beth, looking for honesty from someone whoâd been lying to her for who knows how long, she does not get it. A final betrayal in Sarahâs eyes. They move on, and Sarah tries to work with her to get out of the cave, but after another fight Sarah seems to decide she just canât do it. She has lost her husband, her daughter, all of her friends, and is only left with the one person who has repeatedly betrayed her. She reveals the necklace to June, letting her know that she knows what June did to Beth, and what she did with her husband. She stabs her in the leg and leaves her behind to the same fate June left Beth to, except without the chance she could die before the wendigos find her. This final decision to leave June to a terrible fate causes Sarah to snap. When she does this she has her biggest hallucination yet, of herself escaping the cave. Even after she snaps back to reality, she slides right into another hallucination, seeing her daughter again. The flames of her torch emulating the flames of her daughterâs birthday cake. This one we do not see her come back from. The movie ends here because âthe descentâ is complete. The movie is about a group of women literally descending into a cave system, but also about the mental descent of a women into madness as she loses absolutely everything and is unable to cope, unable to escape her plummeting depression. When I was younger I loved this movie because of how intense and scary it was, but as an adult I love it because of the themes. Again, Iâm really sorry about the long comment T.T Iâm just excited you watched the movie at all and gave it a shot lol. I donât know if youâll find anything in this comment helpful or interesting but just in case I figured Iâd share my thoughts. Plus it was fun to write lol. Anyway, excited for the edited version on YouTube and future reactions! Youâre videos are so fun and have helped me get through so many scary movies I havenât been able to get though on my own lol!

2023-08-09 18:01:36 +0000 UTCSPOILERS SPOILERS I think Sarah shouldâve actually gotten out, and that Juno shouldâve been the one hallucinating Sarahâs daughter as it slowly fades out
Henri J. Mertens
2023-08-09 17:29:19 +0000 UTCIf i recall correctly, you have watched the UK version whilst the US version ends right after the car jump scare as the original was considered too bleak of an ending. The US ending actually led to a sequel to be made The Descent Part 2 which was made several years later
