To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a story of a group of women going on an adventure encountering a monster and all of them died in it.
There are two highlights.
One is about the so-called human nature. For example, Juno is relatively strong and changes the exploration site to a new cave without discussing it with others. Maybe her idea is good, to name it after herself or Sarah, or it can be said that she selfishly wants everyone to accompany her on the adventure. I think the part of manslaughter of a companion is quite understandable. In that environment, manslaughter is very possible, and it is entirely possible for her to think that the bass is dead, and it has no practical meaning to take her with her. It is really very understandable. And Holly, as an adventurist, was precisely because of her impulse that killed her. But Bass is really Sara's good sister. At the last moment of her death, she told Sarah that her dead husband had an affair, and also said not to believe Juno. For Bass, what she said was a good deed, what she said was the truth, and it was for Sarah's good. As for Sarah, after the accident, her cowardly and fearful side was completely manifested, she was on the verge of collapse, and when she really reached that critical moment, she suddenly burst into a muscular side, super fierce. For her, of course the words of a dead friend could not be fake, it could only be wrong with Juno. And she could endure revenge until she thought she could go out, and that was fine. She was right.
But is this human nature? This is too shallow. . . I didn't see any truth from it. Human nature is evil by nature, and human beings are not for their own sake. Come on, slogans like this are no longer fresh enough. Does the psychological description of a few characters appear to express humanity deeply?
The other is the ending. Unfortunately, I knew the ending before I watched the film. Even so, I still think the ending is the biggest highlight of the film. The kind of relief after begging for fear, but the despair of returning to fear, was vividly expressed.
How can there be so many happy endings in the world.
