Since a cave is a closed environment, you never use flares or any similar burning device inside a cave because it will fill it with smoke. That's a basic caving rule.

Q
How does the movie end?
A
Tyler, Top, and Kathryn get out of the cave by following a stream of cold water to where it merges with a river on the surface. Some days later, Tyler joins Kathryn at a table at a sidewalk cafe. He asks Kathryn whether Jack might have survived outside. Kathryn admits that, at first she thought the parasite couldn't survive outside the cave environment, but now she's not so sure. She leans forward, kisses his cheek, and peers at him over the tops of her sunglasses. 'I think it wants to get out,' she says, showing that her eyes have begun to mutate the same way that Jack's eyes did. She then gets up and hurries off into the crowd. In the final scene, Tyler tries to follow her, but Kathryn has disappeared.

Q
What is 'The Cave' about?
A
Two archeologists -- Doctors Nicolai (Marcel Iures) and Kathryn Jannings (Lena Headey) -- assemble a team to investigate a huge cave system deep within the Carpathian Mountains of Romania that they think might contain an unexplored ecosystem. American cave-diving brothers Jack (Cole Hauser) and Tyler (Eddie Cibrian) McAllister, survivalist Top Buchanan (Morris Chestnut), cameraman Alex Kim (Daniel Dae Kim), rock-climber Charlie (Piper Perabo), sonar expert Strode (Kieran Darcy-Smith), and first scout Briggs (Rick Ravanello) eventually descend into the cave together. When Strode's water scooter explodes, the entrance to the caverns caves in, and the explorers must find another way out. Along the way, they stumble across scattered equipment and the remains of previous explorers and soon come to realize that they are being stalked by unknown, but highly vicious, creatures.
