Found an alternate ending on YouTube for The Descent that changes everything

Honestly I was just looking for bloopers and stumbled on a cut where all the main characters actually survive the cave. Hit over 2 million views but the studio buried it because test audiences hated the original bleak ending. Has anyone else seen the version where Juno lives?

That 2 million number is wild because I remember when The Descent first came out on DVD and my cousin rented it from Blockbuster and we watched the UK cut by accident. The one where they all get out of the cave but then it turns out Sarah was still hallucinating in the cave the whole time. We were so confused because the American version just ends with her driving away. I always thought the studio was crazy for changing it because that fake out ending is way more disturbing than the actual ending.

Wait, is that the same movie or was there another movie that did something similar? Because I saw this indie horror flick called "The Silent House" years ago and it had this whole different ending depending on where you watched it. The version I saw had this really long take where the girl is just sitting in a chair and you think she's rescued but then the camera pans and you see her brother's dead body right next to her. My buddy swore he saw a version where she was the killer the whole time but I never found that one. Anyway, that UK Descent ending sounds way better, it's like they realized the real horror isn't the monsters in the cave but not being able to trust your own brain.

The Descent UK ending is the only one that makes sense honestly.
