UK ending >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> US ending


I had to Google this because my wife and I looked at each other like "wut?" when it ended. Wish we had the UK ending.



Spoiler:

The endings of the US and UK versions differ. In the end, Sarah wakes up at the bottom of the cave, crawls out, and makes her way back to the car. When she is driving away, she pulls over and vomits, and when she leans back into the car, she is startled by the ghost of Juno sitting in the passenger seat. The US version cuts to the credits here. In the UK version, this apparition causes Sarah to wake up for real at the bottom of the cave, revealing her escape to be just a dream. She then has a vision of her daughter's birthday cake, which we see is just her torch. The camera backs out, the voices of the creatures can be heard again and are increasing in strength as they are closing in on her, and the movie ends. This ending was considered "too dark" for US audiences.

Idk...

US ending you get ambiguity. Did she escape or didn't she? UK ending they spell it out straight that she's not dreaming. She's fricked.

Yeah, but the US version takes all the suspension of disbelief the viewer bought into, then in just one scene the filmmakers piss all over it IMO.
