Who else lost respect for Sarah?

I don't think the idea was for the audience to lose respect for Sarah. I think it was representative of how truly far she had slipped from sanity at that point. She was operating on pure animalistic instincts / thought processes / rage in those moments. I didn't lose respect for her. I felt even sorrier for her because once she crossed that line (disabling Juno), there was no coming back. She was traumatized already but that act would haunt her and she would never forgive herself.

I think what Neil Marshall was also trying to do is illustrate that there were no clear heroes or villains. I appreciated that because life is like that. There is good and bad in everyone. Juno did some bad things but Sarah fell from grace too. I feel like Sarah's wrongdoing was a little more understandable though. Her bad deeds were done in an irrational state of mind, driven by complete and utter despair, whereas most of Juno's mistakes were made in a state of clarity.

Also keep in mind that Juno lied about leaving Beth behind. And Beth never made it clear to Sarah that she was stabbed on accident. So that made it look deliberate. Why wouldn't Sarah suspect that Juno would do the same to her? Especially while operating purely on survival instincts and paranoia? You could argue Sarah could have been up front with Juno and gotten the truth out of her...but Sarah was pissed off at her for many reasons by that point and didn't care to talk things out anymore. Additionally, Beth shows Sarah the necklace - proof of the affair - making Juno look even MORE suspect. Who is to say Sarah wouldn't think that Juno didn't want the truth to get out, and therefore left Beth to die?

Sarah had any number of reasons to do what she did. Not that it makes it right. Juno didn't deserve that. But the point is - Sarah was insane at that point and can't be held fully accountable.

It was a tragic misunderstanding that could have been prevented had Juno not kept secrets in the first place.

Juno &"husband" deserved it..Sarah & child did not, but life isn't always fair.
edited to add: Juno not only lost Paul, but her self. She was genuinely sorry
and a warrior. She was on a purge. She loved Sarah

That had zero to do with Juno sleeping with her husband and EVERYTHING to do with Juno had stabbed the other girl in the neck, left her to die....and then lied about it to Sarah. Did you seriously miss all of that?

As the others have said - I think that it was both Juno sleeping with Sarah's husband *and* the whole "left her friend to die" that had Sarah looking at Juno as simply a worthless human being.

So then it was the two of them with the crawlers coming and hopefully the way out up ahead.

There's an old joke about two friends on safari when they run into a hungry lion. One friend immediately drops to his knee and starts tightening the laces on his shoes. His friend says "What the hell are you doing? You can't outrun a lion!"

And the first guy says "I don't have to outrun the lion. I only have to outrun *you*."

So at the end of the movie, Sarah was thinking that only one of them was going to make it, so she sacrificed Juno to slow down the crawlers.

I loved Sarah as a character, she suffered so much, her husband cheating on her with her friend, then losing her family in a car crash, she resented Juno earlier for what happened in the past, but after Beth telling her what Juno did AND being forced to crush her skull with a rock, it just broke her. But I think in Part 2 she had forgiven Juno and even came to see her as a friend again, but losing Juno when they were about to escape that hell hole, she had nothing else to live for, so she sacrificed herself to distract the crawlers and giving Rios a chance to escape... until she's knocked out by a shovel and placed back in the entrance of the cave...

Justice was served no doubt.

Yeah, that was pretty harsh. She didn't even bother to confront her or anything, just fed her to those things and moved on.

First of all, I think The Descent is a solid horror flick. Let me be cold blooded for a moment: My favorite part of this whole movie was Sarah unraveling the "Love Each Day" necklace in front of Juno's face and then pick-axing her knee cap. Juno was the reason they were stuck in that cave- she didn't tell anyone, like you're supposed to. Juno was banging Sarah's husband. Despicable as a friend. Juno (perhaps accidentally at first) axed someone else but then chose to leave that friend alone to die. She had no remorse. Juno was the girl who thought she could get away with it. Not today b!¥©h! I can't help it- I'm a sucker for good old fashioned revenge.
