Juno is also hinted at as the final girl, however her sympathy for Sarah and the audience's realization of the affair with Sarah's husband make it clear that she will not survive because she has compromised a marriage which is typical of the genre and translates into the characters . death.Both Dracula and The Descent are typical of their own subgenres.
