Joanna is a real dud. She scoffs at Jess wanting to prove her dad saw a monster. She complains about the length of the hike, getting a permit to camp, and that the campsite has no view. When Jess gets mad about the condescending and passive aggressive comments, Joanna gaslights her by saying it was all a joke and she was trying to lighten the mood. She tops it off by being rude to the rangers. So yeah, I’m all in for Joanna to never come out of the cave.
Though the rangers warn them not to go into any caves, they ignore them since that’s the point of their trip. The group has a map pointing them to the location where the monster was seen. They strap on their helmets and go inside, using string that could be easily broken as a guide to find their way back.
Once inside things go horribly wrong, as they do when you’re going into a cave rumored to have monsters in it. When Jess runs out to get help, she turns into a complete idiot. At some point she loses consciousness and wakes up lying in a bunk bed. She seems to think she’s in danger, which makes no sense since shes unharmed, is not locked in the room and she’s at the rangers station. But she grabs a butter knife and breaks a light bulb while threatening the rangers who rescued her and who she’s asking for help.
When the rangers say they will get help, but they shouldn’t go to the caves, she runs off alone back to the caves she just ran away from. She may as well not have left, and has effectively wasted not only her time, but ours. As you could guess, this isn’t a great movie and you won’t care about any of the characters.
