I went to see a preview of the movie "The Descent" on Thursday. It has already been released in Europe, but it will be released here in the United States on August 4th with a shorter ending. I didn't really understand what happened at the very end of the film, so could someone who has already seen the longer European version please explain the ending to me?
Here's a synopsis:
"On a daredevil caving holiday, six women friends are unexpectedly trapped underground when a rock fall blocks their exit. Searching the maze of tunnels for a way out, they find themselves hunted by a race of fearless, hungry predators, once humanoid but now monstrously adapted to live in the dark…
As the others battle for their lives, Sarah, still recovering from a mental collapse brought on by the recent deaths of her family, is fighting for her sanity. When old secrets are revealed, the friends turn on one another, causing the group to implode. Betrayed and desperate, Sarah realizes that to make it back to the surface, she must become as savage as the creatures themselves."

Sarah (Shauna Macdonald, the strawberry blond) and Juno (Natalie Mendoza, the cute black-haired Hispanic) are the only two still alive. Sarah fights a bunch of the crawlers while Juno watches. Sarah whacks Juno with the ax, and Juno looks betrayed, but I didn't see any blood. Sarah finds the cave opening, runs to the SUV, and drives down the road. Sarah pulls the SUV onto the shoulder of the road and cries hysterically. An air horn honks and a logging truck passes the SUV (which has magically moved halfway onto the road). Sarah looks over to the left as the logging truck passes and then back to the right, where Juno has suddenly appeared in the passenger seat. Juno smiles at Sarah. And that's the end of the movie.
So, do they both survive? And how did Juno get to the SUV faster than Sarah? And how can Sarah see a big spot of sunlight on the cave floor when the cave opening is covered with branches? And, at the beginning of the film when Sarah's husband pulled Juno out of the water, was Juno having an affair with Sarah's husband, or was Juno just flirting with him? And is that why Sarah hit Juno with the ax, or is it because Juno wasn't helping Sarah fight the crawlers? And what old secrets were revealed?
