I am swedish and i can confirm that this happens whenever you enter a forest.

[melissahurt]

Creature: roars
Luke: roars back
Creature: *Okay, first of all, calm down-*

[OfflineMo]

Monster:(Screams)
Luke:(Screams back)
Monster:why are you yelling why are you yelling!

[BlackCoffeeAndSoul]

I always thought 'the blonde woman' was the daughter from the family picture they found.
She implies to Luke that creature picks its members based on pain or trauma. And if you look carefully at that family picture, the daughter looks ill at ease and is standing away from her family like something wasn't right.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I thought that's what they were hinting at.

[czarthetsar]

Someone in the forest: *doesnt have a hole in their chest*
The monster: *so you have chosen branch?*

[drownindesigner]

This move was pretty good. I laughed so hard when he hit the old lady with the quick jab

[tylerhung]

I can’t be the only one who died laughing when Luke decked the old lady 🤣

[QuirkyShiny]

It's been three years and I still blame the dude for not just handing over his wedding ring.
YOUR WIFE WOULD PREFER YOU TO SURVIVE, ROB

[KevinS_]

If you see something freshly killed, hanged up that high, why would you keep going?

[brycebledsoe]

I love how you can see this monster throughout the movie but only if you look closely, they did such a good job designing the monster and its amazing

[Mclovin__]

I just watched 20 minutes of a guy explaining a movie I never even saw.

Hutch's death was a film masterpiece of a scene. The shriek of loneliness knowing where his friends were and he couldnt do anything to help, or they couldnt help him.

[HomesliceBrice]

Let's not forget that this entire movie happened only becuase Dom fell.

[redrobsanthem]

The monster: *mating call*
Luke: *screams back*
The monster: u want sum fuk?

[tvtveer]

I feel so bad for Hutch. The guy was sooo cool and just wanted everyone to get along. #JusticeForHutch

[MsPkemon]

I really love the crossover between Dom telling Luke off for not fighting back while his friend dies, and Dom just hiding in the tress, while Phil dies. Its like it shows him as both a hypocrite and also a normal person - freezing up and not able to fight back against something that is about to kill your friend. I thought that that's why Dom kinda gets on with Luke in the last part, as he can kinda understand why Luke did what he did, and why Luke couldn't have realistically done anything else.

Hutch's death scream is literally something I will never forget out of this film. That scream was a thing of terror and nightmares.

[lettdarkelfest]

I am russian, and the scariest thing in the movie was a nine pound price for a bottle of vodka.

[markouz]

The old woman was so anticlimactic. I was dying of laughter when she looked so arrogant and all Luke does is punch her and she gets dropped

[ST-krhz]

The most upsetting image in the movie for me was just the way that Phil was sitting on the ground after the second nightmare, like he was a child. You can tell that whatever it was he saw has completely destroyed his mind.
