Who else loves the alternate ending of Sarah staring blankly at the torch, hallucinating about her daughter's birthday cake, as the monsters close in around her?
It's a perfect ending and it's canon as far as I'm concerned.
It´s the ending we europeans got and it´s the intended ending by the director.
The studio on the other side wanted a lighter ending for the american market, because americans are known to be more simple and soft.
Also the american ending made a sequel possible.
What a shame.
While Europeans tend to be pretentious little cunts who always judge America behind a screen because there is nothing going on in their shithole countries
shareEUROPE TILL I DIE. OUT ON HERE IN EUROPE WE BOMB ON YOU M'F'KERS. YOU THINK YOU THE MOB, WE THE M'F'KING MOB.
shareshithole countries? check out your food and infrastructure :D sad indeed
shareOur food is great, you’re just jealous because you have to live off of crumpets and snails.
Don’t know about your infrastructure because Unlike you I have better things to worry about than the fucking infrastructure of a country I don’t live in.
well your streets are shit. 200mph speed limit. enough said :DDD
shareAs an American, I can honestly say I like the alternative ending much better than the American ending.
shareWhat childish cunts you are?
Proving Yanks are mostly racist and illiterate, especially on anything outside it's own crappy borders.
I think both endings work. She's still haunted (and hallucinating), after all, just in different ways
(I won't watch the sequel because I think this film stands alone just fine)
As far as endings go, I prefer the other ending, where Sarah actually escapes the cave, and then sees Juno's spirit in the car. I was routing for Sarah to escape, considering all the trauma and pain she went through. For me, the other ending is an unnecessary twist.
shareAs an American, I too prefer the doomed ending. I think it works better, and generally prefer what the directors and writers desire. Only matters if you confuse yourself watching the sequel.
Also sorry about the idiot American up top who felt the need to get pissy and go into European stereotypes in a burst of patriotism, sigh, maybe part of why people don't like us much...
Haha the person said, "Americans are known to be more simple and soft." Don't insult an entire nation and people won't have a reason to sink even lower in return.
shareAnother American here who prefers the doomed ending. I'm pretty sure the title has a double-meaning, referring to both their descent into the cave as well as their descent from civilized humans to animal survival instinct, a la Lord of the Flies. Other than Holly, the girls all lost some of their humanity, culminating in Sarah maiming Juno and leaving her as bait for the monsters. Given that none of them is particularly admirable (though my personal favorite is Juno), it's a more fitting end to have all the characters die.
shareHow anyone can like Juno as a character is beyond me. She was a cunt who shagged her best friend's husband, then took that friend and a bunch of others into an unknown cave and got them all killed.
shareWell, my favorite character in Richard III is Richard... Really, liking a character doesn't necessarily have anything to do with whether they are good, or bad or right or wrong. Juno is interesting. What she did before the movie as well as her decision to deceive her friends into what she believed would be a dangerous but rewarding adventure, only makes her more interesting.
I generally don't mind a bleak or depressing ending, but the problem here was that it makes the last 20-30 minutes of the film nothing more than a dream. I'm unsure at what point this "dream" actually begins, because I couldn't tell what she was waking up from at the end. Was everything after she fell and hit her head part of the dream? She appeared to be covered in blood, as she was after emerging from that absurdly deep pool of blood, but I don't recall her ever falling asleep or losing consciousness after that point.
shareI thought this was the only ending lmao, I'm an American.
shareAgreed. The ending where she gets away was made because American audiences need happy endings. Though the doomed ending makes the sequel confusing. But the sequel is eh at best, so...
shareI liked it. I especially like the idea that there were no mole men and that she killed all of her friends.
