This was definitely one of the videos of our time

I found it interesting how this movie implies that these mutated monsters are the root for human beliefs in demons. That monastery had a mural depicting the mutants attacking people if i am remembering correctly. So at some point the cave parasite was able to infect people and leave the cave to hunt on the surface. Also interesting was the monastery being built over the cave entrance and the presence of dead men in armor within the cave monsters nesting area. This, as well as there being no more monsters until modern humans reentered the cave, implies that some zealous as heck holy knights not only entered the cave to confront the monsters but that they were victorious. The church was probably built to keep the parasite contained until memory of what actually happened faded. Pretty hardcore.

I always say there’s a reason for every “monster” story. A lot of the times it will just be something pretty benign but one of my personal favorites is how every culture that has a concept of a “dragon” essentially views them the same way, there are certain aesthetic differences but the “flying, fire breathing lizard” is consistent even in cultures that had no contact with each other and there is no feasible way they’d have heard about it from an outside source.

I think it's more probable that the symbiote's desire to get to the surface was triggered by it's host (humans) since it's our preferred biome.

Something not enough people acknowledge in these types of creatures and their skeletons is the swollen or overly bulbous joints, often looking like severe arthritis. While the irl explanation is it makes it look more disease ridden and scarier, it could also explain the increased strength by lengthening the moment-arm at the joint. Basically allowing the muscle to pull from a higher point and increasing the leverage. Doubt you'll see this Roanoke, but it's something I've been dying to point out that no ever acknowledges in these creature flicks.

What if the symbiote evolves through generations of hosts, picking up certain traits and amplifying them. If they were infecting mole rats and bats before that could explain the wings and digging claws but not expressing outright sentience. But now that it's a couple generations into humans it might take on a more psychological and covert role, that might be why the first human was morphed to such an extreme degree while the chick in the end only was showing changed eyes and not claws. It might also explain the bones in the church cause they might have been ending the generational path in humans early by game ending infected comrades. If it made all those changes to survive in the cave than who's to say we arnt making it smarter, so that with its new intelligence it might decide a more covert mutation is in order to survive and propagate. Amoungus! (Just got to the end and you had the same idea. Also the reason it never left it mightve just never had the intelligence to think of leaving the cave, instead just trying to blindly survive without a thought behind it with would have ingrained survival deep in its modus operandi.)

Delicious of course assuming that it's not mostly gas, but if you've got that much gas in your body in this world and what is going on. You could argue that a lot of business going towards heat, but then you see just how heavy you are in both of the games. You consume the brawler not quite whole and then you acquire claws, you consume the Juggernaut and you get a shield, do it again and you get Hammer Fists. Consume the infected lady with a whip that is really compressible or really really good at expanding but probably compressing, and you get the whip fist which is longer than roughly more than one blue whale upon full extension. Let's not get started on the Goliath. Roanoke would have a field day with that series wouldn't he. Oh yeah then there's the biomass covering walls that Brawlers can then be birthed from. Let's not go into Elizabeth and all of the memories that you acquire from this game by civilians and not civilians. You might need an Xbox 360 play the game if you don't have the re-release but there is youtube.

But with it gaining increased intelligence and basic sentience from a couple of iterations of humans it might ditched the claws, teeth, and wings now that it's understanding of its environment has changed.

While obviously intended to be taken as the thing is now conscious thru humans in the movie, the fact she says the thing "wanted out" doesn't necessarily mean that it was planning and conscious if looked at in a different way. Considering the thing starts morphing anatomy to the conditions of the cave, it could simply be that the woman's body is being changed, but differently, and that the conditions outside the cave are more beneficial to the symbiosis (perhaps even changing how it ended up morphing her, as the conditions involved in the cave aren't causing it to need to change as much to the bat form, possibly due to more food/warmth/light.) Her interpretations of said changes then could be, that the thing wanted the current environment, and not the old, as the changes are rewarding her (thru pleasure or thru changes in her feelings of "wants" such as maybe warmth, or drier environments, or even light.) In her current "not fully functioning right mentally" state, she could interpret the things "wanting out of the cave environment" from just what she's getting positive feedback from (avoiding cold and moist areas, low lighting, and more wanting to be around large amounts of "potential hosts" thru things like smell or sound cues.) If every time she's in different conditions that she interprets as the "cave" she's being un-rewarded with some pleasure or drive to remain there, it'd make sense that its less the parasite gaining sentience thru her, and more it just changing the hosts needs and wants to suit it and her just thinking it is taking full control (though technically i suppose it still is, just more carrot and the stick then turning into carpenters the thing). I guess that mouse seeking out cats and open areas thing would be fairly similar as a concept. The mouse's senses and thought processes are changed, but its still mostly just a mouse with an infection, not an infection in the shape of a mouse.)

For the record, humans can smell water in air better than sharks can smell blood in water. Our noses can detect 1 ppb water to air.

Yaaaasssss, I’ve been waiting for you to do this movie!!! Love this channel

12:02 that amusingly specific game reference also reminded me of Prince of Persia, which is even more amusing when I think about some dude running across walls and rooftops to shank people.

Would liked to have seen a sequel to The Cave even just in writing.

This movie plot reminds me so much of Greig Beck’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth series- those books are wild (I love them). Also- I just discovered this channel and I’ve been binge watching everything because it’s so amazing!!! 👏👏👏

This channel is the best. Legit science of the best kind, good movie recaps, and humor! You can’t go wrong here

This is the one that brought me to this channel and it's basically been on repeat ever since

I knew you'd eventually review this movie, the concept of the creatures always interested me as a kid and I've always wondered if they would still take that same form on the surface.

fun fact about the whole O2 tank going boom under the water. instead of exploding like it did when the valve broke off, you would instead get a really dangerous projectile. someone had one of those fall in a pool once, valve busted off and off it went crashing into the wall and making a hole. they found the damn thing around 15 meters away from the wall of the pool. so in short no it would not explode with a tap like that. instead it would shear off the valve, rocketing at the nearest wall.

If it was the one with lithium in it it probably would as lithium is very volitile especially in contact with water.

I remembered this movie. I always thought the alteration ability of the symbiote (Even I figured that one out) was an interesting thing. The writers where pissed and ripped this movie to shreds as they pretty much changed a few details and got the movie the decent made. The one with the cave ladies. Apparently all the monster changes and such was the director. Both worked, both had their thing. For me the real intersting thing would have been to see what a series would have been following the releases of that symbiote into the world.

Omg yay I commented about this movie a while back. How exciting!

I JUST WATCHED THIS MOVIE!! Me and one of my few friends also tentatively interested in horror decided to get together and we perused Netflix to try and find something but we were just confused this whole movie. Not by the creatures, but by the characters' actions. We liked the end though. I'm so glad you're covering it! I'm sending this to her for sure!!! :D

What's the movie name?

Hey there, been watching since your old Dead Space videos. If you want to get into the "Gaming" part of Roanoke Gaming, may I suggest the Hive from Destiny 2. Each member of the species is implanted with a parasite which develops a symbiotic relationship with the host. It would be interesting to hear your take on the biology of this alien species.

Wow, I discovered you channel last week and went looking for a video on this movie, now its here!

Interesting bringing up the whole "Snap on" of consciousness. I remember around 3 my first memory and memorably functional use of my brainmeat was going to the circus with my mother and father. The first and last time I saw them happy together. Hell of a memory to start with. I've never had someone describe that "Snap" effect quite so well, good work Roanoke. (GA represent)

I didn't know I wanted to see someone make a version of Charlie's Angels where they fight cave monsters until I saw this video, so thanks for that I guess.

Since you subtly mentioned predators hidden/camouflaged as a cloud, you should do a video on Nope and the anatomy the alien in it! It would be great to see what you think of it.

sweet ive been waiting for this super excited

"This same process also means Dr. Jennings is a punk ass" Man I love this channel

This seems to be going for a realistic Vampire narrative spread by demons. I really like when writers get the idea to make mythical creatures into hypothetical real world organisms.

Man I used to LOVE this movie when I was younger. Great stuff. Thanks for the great video

Great vid! I forgot all about this flick… would have loved to see much more of those creatures!

Hey Roanoke, could you take a look at the movie Ginger Snaps? I want to know how a virus could change the body from simian to lycanthrope and if that's even possible.

I watched this movie like three times and I always thought there was supposed to be some sort of Psychosis effect inside the cave that was slowly driving people insane. I feel like there was supposed to be a bigger supernatural aspect that was ultimately disregarded in the final cut.

You are so descriptive and keen on detail, it's great.

This kept my attention and enjoyed this! Take my sub!

I'd say that the symbiosis people want would be classified as something along the lines of 'Sapient Symbiosis'. Yes that's not a real thing, I know, but it's pretty much the only thing I can think of as a potential name for that type of classification, where the invading symbiote bonds but leaves conscious thought alone as the two(or more) organisms work together to survive.

I actually wonder, would it really destroy the human once it gets out? The monster form was only so that it could survive the cave system. So hypothetically would it really need to change the human that much once it is outside? I kind of want to see what happened after the end of the movie. Would it infect every human on Earth or would it just take over a select group that it could use; such as politicians or religious leaders? Would humans at large detect it or could it take over the world with no one noticing it? Would it completely take over the human and use the original consciousness only for memories or would it just sit back and relax in the human body as we go about our days providing it a safe shelter in the dominant species? Honestly speaking, if it is smart enough now to realize, leaving the human sentient might be advantageous. Perhaps just guiding the human or merging the two consciousnesses together into a new better blended sentience.

Just considering the ending in general I'm confused how it got to that point in the first place. As we see with Jack this thing doesn't just automatically take control of the host. While we don't get a clear time frame it seems like there was a solid day or two where he's been infected and yet other than his vitals going off, iris's getting weird, better hearing and some hallucinations he's still in control at the end of the movie when he takes himself out of the game. Yes he probably would have become one of them given a few more days just like those before them but that was because they were stuck in there without any chance to try and save themselves. The doctor on the other-hand got out waaaaaay before she started exhibiting signs of infection and clearly got back to civilization in the same time frame Jack was still in control. So as a doctor who understood this thing there's no way she didn't recognize she was infected at the outset of the earliest symptoms and let it get to the point it was fully in control. Why the hell wouldn't she immediately get herself seen by other doctors and be locked down so they could HOPEFULLY do something about it? What, because she might be turned into a lab rat if they can't figure it out? Because turning into a bat monster is like soooooo much better right? It just felt like the silliest twist at the end, especially since it came from the person in the group MOST likely to recognize what was happening and seek a cure.

Wow didn't expect a video on Charles Angels: Full Throttle from you, gotta be one of my favorite monster movies of all time.

🔥 Dude never fails to captivate me 🔥 One of the best film breakdowns and deep dives 💪😉 keep up the grind brother

Could you do the crazy blind pterosaur-bat-pirhana creatures from The Silence? That'd be a fun one.

As usual, the most unrealistic aspect of this movie is how good looking all the scientists are.

I watched this movie last night with memories of watching your video a year ago. Thank you for the chance to nerd out!😊

THANK YOU ROANOKE, I hope you liked the reccomendation on a movie/video. Its a movie i enjoyed. And i absolutly loved the refrences you made, ill never see this movie the same again

I feel like it doesn't specifically help you live in a cave I think it helps you survive in the specific environment that you are currently living in

I activated my almonds and immediately clicked on the vid

Thank you! I've been waiting for this one! Could you please do A Cure for Wellness??

I’m commenting before I watch the video! I am so excited that you have finally covered this video! I don’t care what you say the fact that you have covered this is an instant like! Might change after I watch but I doubt it I love this movie!

Okay, the line "thank goodness no one in this party is named Amy" made me giggle so hard I had to stop the video. The Ruins is one of my favorite movies (guilty pleasure). I even went and read the book after watching the movie the first couple of times. Amy is trash 🤣😂🤣

I have sooo many movie recommendations to give should I write them down on comment hence the discord isnt available for recommendations Also therere far too many entirely isolated places throughout the planet like lake vostok and all other subterrenean river lake systems throghout the antartica continent they represent the space ice ocean moons in a perfect manner

This was a really cool breakdown of the closed evolution of Charlie's Angels :D

Your videos are unimaginably interesting thank you

Man I love your vids but the theatre thing going on around the video itself is a little too big, not complaining, but making it just a tad smaller would be nicer
