What does the end of the movie descent mean?
Why was sarah looking at her self as a child infront of a birthday cake? Did she die, was she one of them? I'm confused?

Sam and Rebecca are both killed by crawlers. Juno narrowly avoids the same fate. She meets up with Sarah, and the two make their way onwards together, only to find a group of crawlers between them and a possible exit. A fight ensues, the women kill the creatures, and afterwards Sarah cripples Juno and leaves her for the crawlers. Fleeing, Sarah falls and is knocked unconscious. She dreams of escaping the cave and sees a bloodied Juno in the car beside her. Screaming, she awakes once more in the cave, hallucinating that her daughter is there with her. Crawler screams are heard, and the film ends.
=============
Alternate ending
The Descent was released in North America with approximately a minute cut from the end. Sarah escapes the cave and sees Juno, but the film does not cut back to the cave.
In the 4 August 2006 issue of Entertainment Weekly, it was stated that the ending was trimmed because viewers didn't like its "überhopeless finale". Lionsgate marketing chief Tim Palen said, "It's a visceral ride, and by the time you get to the ending you're drained. [Director Neil] Marshall had a number of endings in mind when he shot the film, so he was open [to making a switch]." Marshall compared the change to the ending of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, saying "Just because she gets away, does that make it a happy ending?"
The North American Unrated DVD includes the original ending.
==========
Of course the sequel will probably be based on the alternate and crappy US ending...
Good Grief!

The end in the North American version was different from the original ending. Here, Sarah gets out of the cave and sees Juno in her car while she is driving away and it ends there. In the original ending however, she screams (after the car incident) and wakes up in the cave again (getting out was all a dream). The movie ends there.
In North America, they cut the ending so it would end on a happier note and wouldn't have a hopeless ending and she escapes the cave.

Watch the original UK ending included on the DVD and the movie makes a lot more sense.
