* The deaths of Paul and Jessica. The idyllic drive back to the hotel immediately turns into a double road fatality. The noises as the pipes go pipe goes through his head... and when the camera pans out, you can see that his hands are still twitching...twitching...
** Made even worse that Jessica dies (albeit off-screen) a split second before Paul. One of the pipes ends up striking her, evidenced by the blood splattering behind Paul's seat.

* The very first time [[MatchlightDangerRevelation a Crawler is seen up close]]. Perhaps the most terrifying JumpScare in the entire film.
** Arguably the scariest thing about this moment is that the crawler ''doesn't even attack.'' It's just sitting there, ''[[ParanoiaFuel watching them]]'', and doesn't even move until Holly puts the camera on it. Almost as if it doesn't have any reason to exert itself, because it knows [[FridgeHorror there's no way they can escape.]]

** You don't even need to have claustrophobia. It's very easy to feel uncomfortable watching the girls squeeze their way through tight tunnels. Guaranteed to make you want to walk around and stretch your legs!

* Does caving sound like a fun activity to you? You probably shouldn't see this movie then.
** To play on this, an Austin area theater company held a special showing of the movie. [[CreepyAwesome In a cave.]]
* The possibility that [[spoiler: Sarah could have been hallucinating the monsters and it was her that murdered her friends]].

* The scene where Sarah gets stuck in that horribly, ''horribly'' tight tunnel. Also, the shots of the girls (primarily Holly) crawling through it will make even those with ''mild'' claustrophobia feel ''very'' uncomfortable.
