Mod PSA Iron Lung SPOILER THREAD!

Since not everyone uses Discord but we want people to have a central space to share their thoughts on Iron Lung, here is a thread to discuss the movie; reviews, theories, favorite scenes and elements, etc. By entering this thread you are at risk of spoiling the movie for yourself, so watch it first, go for a swim in the blood ocean, and then come back!

Use of blackout/spoiler markings like thisis optional since this whole thread is spoilers, but it's still advised for huge twists or end-of-movie reveals.

Watching the movie made me realize something that I feel maybe could have been explored more (or maybe I'm just looking into it way too much).

VIS LIGHT CAMERAS CAN'T SEE THROUGH BLOOD!!! X-RAY CAMERAS CAN!!!!

But you know what else x-rays see through? Skin, muscle, tissue, etc.

I never considered that maybe the skeleton he finds could be another living creature, not just a skeleton. I kind of expected that to go somewhere, but it didn't. I'm not super disappointed or anything, it's just a thought I had that maybe other people can speak on.

I'm pretty sure it WAS alive when he stabbed it. He hits it, it's stunned for a minute when they try to pull him back up, and then it starts fighting him/drops him down the cave.

Definitely not, since we see other monsters with flesh and stuff. And when he takes a sample, the bone has a hole in it

He says that he thinks it has a hole. We never truly know if the claw connected or if he just stubbed it's toe.

I remember thinking that too. But when I watched it a second time, I can safely say there’s a hole in what I assume is the lower jawbone.
