The Cabin in the Woods Page #4

Synopsis: Five teenagers head off for a weekend at a secluded cabin in the woods. They arrive to find they are quite isolated with no means of communicating with the outside world. When the cellar door flings itself open, they of course go down to investigate. They find an odd assortment of relics and curios, but when one of the women, Dana, reads from a book, she awakens a family of deadly zombie killers. However, there's far more going on than meets the eye.

All zombied like him..

but she was missing an arm.

Oh, my God. Patience.

The diary.

- We gotta lock this place down.

-He's right.

We'll go room by room.

Barricade every window and door.

We gotta play it safe. No matter what

happens, we have to stay together.

F***!

Calm down.

Watch the master work.

This isn't right.

What? What's the matter?

This isn't right. We should split up.

We can cover more ground that way.

Yeah.

Yeah. Good idea.

Really?

All right,

you guys, get in your rooms.

Lock them in.

What the f***?

What the..?

What the f***?

That's not good.

Out of the way. Out of the way.

Out of the way.

Chem department,

I need 500 CCs of Thorazine..

pumped into room three.

No, no, no.

Stand by, Chem.

Judah Buckner to the rescue.

What the f***?

F***! What the f***?

Oh, my God.

I'm on a reality TV show.

My parents are gonna

think I'm such a burnout.

Help me! Help me!

Must be getting excited downstairs.

Greatest show on Earth.

Somebody help!

Come on!

Use the bed!

- Come on! Come on!

It's empty.

- Go.

Curt?

- Unlock the door.

I can't. Get down to the basement.

This is the black room.

Nice.

From the diary.

This is where he killed them.

This is where he kills us.

No way. No.

He's not gonna kill us

We just gotta find a door.

Okay?

Let's just check the walls, okay?

Curt?

I mean, there's gotta be..

You like pain?

How's that work for you?

These f***ing zombies.

Remember when you could

just throw a girl in a volcano?

How old do you think I am?

Let's move! Come on! Come on! Go!

What about Marty?

They got him.

The devil is defeated.

Now Kiko's spirit will

live in the happy frog!

F*** you!

F*** you! F*** you! F*** you!

- You seeing this?

- Perfect record, huh?

The Japan crew should've

had this in the bag. They f***ed us.

How hard is it to kill nine-year-olds?

Zero fatality. Total wash.

You want good product,

you gotta buy American.

Any word from downstairs?

Downstairs doesn't care about Japan.

The director trusts us.

You just sweat the chem, Lin.

While these morons are singing

What a Friend We Have in Shinto..

we are bringing the pain.

Yeah, and what the f***'s

up with this guy's pot, anyway?

He's supposed to be drooling

and instead he almost makes us?

We treated the sh*t out of it.

Okay, we've got the Rambler

heading toward the tunnel.

The fool's toast anyway.

And so are we if you

don't get this under control.

Sh*t.

- What? "Sh*t" why?

Gotta go. Work to do.

You guys are humanity's last hope.

If the ancients rise..

There's no cave-in.

- What?

The f***ing tunnel's open!

Control to Demolition.

We're dark on the whole sector.

Try to bypass it.

- What the f*** do you think I'm doing?

-Open the door.

Look out!

Get out of the way! Make a hole!

What the f***'s going on?

- We don't know.

Electrical said there

was a glitch up top.

That tunnel should've blown hours ago.

-We didn't get the order.

Hadley, what is going on?

Hadley?

Why hasn't the tunnel blown?

No, no. No f***ing way!

Can't believe this, man.

This ain't happening.

It's right there.

All right.

We got any climbing gear? Ropes?

Yeah. In my f***ing dorm room.

We can't go back.

There's no way across.

What're we gonna do? Jump?

Dude.

What?

Curt, are you sure about this?

I've done bigger jumps than this.

You've got a smooth run..

and maybe a five foot

differential on the other side.

But you've gotta give it everything.

Curt.

Look, you guys,

you stay in the Rambler.

I'll get help.

If I wipe out,

I'll f***ing limp for help.

But I'm coming back here.

I'm coming back with

cops and choppers..

and large f***ing guns,

and those things are gonna pay.

For Jules.

Don't hold back.

Never do.

No!

Curt!

Oh, God!

He hit something.

There's nothing. What'd he hit?

Puppeteers.

Marty was right.

Get in the van.

Dana.

Marty was right.

You're going back.

I'm going through.

And we'll just drive.

There's gotta be another road.

Another way out of here.

-It won't work.

Something will happen.

It will collapse, it will wash away.

Then we just leave

the roads altogether.

Drive as far as we can into the

forest and we go on foot from there.

You're missing the point.

Please, do not go nuts on me,

okay, Dana? You're all I've got, now.

I'm okay.

Good, okay, 'cause I need you calm.

Okay, no matter what happens,

we gotta stay..

Goddamn, that was close!

Yeah, photo-f***ing-finish.

I don't understand.

You're celebrating?

They're celebrating. I'm drinking.

But she's still alive.

How can the ritual be complete?

The virgin's death is optional,

as long as it's last.

Main thing is that she suffers.

That she did.

It's so strange.

I'm actually rooting for this girl.

She's got so much heart.

And you think of

all the pain and the..

Tequila is my lady! My lady!

Come on in, guys!

Come on in. You're welcome.

Tequila!

From darkness, there is light!

I wish that I could do what you do.

Oh, my God.

-Yeah, it's masterful.

I don't know.

Tonight was solid. I don't know.

Are you kidding? Classic denouement.

When the van hits the lake..

I screamed.

And the water rushing in,

and the zombies..

just think it would've

been cooler with a merman.

Do you know if we get

the overtime bonus on this one?

Accounting's over there. Ask them.

I don't need to.

I already know the answer.

I'm an intern.

So I don't qualify for OT.

It's funny that you like the ballet..

because I happen to have

two tickets to your favorite..

You knuckleheads.

You almost gave me a

heart attack with that tunnel.

Like I said, it wasn't our fault.

We didn't get the order.

I'm just giving you a hard time.

Come on. Give us a hug.

No, seriously. That wasn't our fault.

There was a glitch.

Power re-route from upstairs.

What do you mean, upstairs?

Turn the f***ing music off.

Hello?

That's impossible. Everything

was done within the guidelines.

The virgin's the only one..

No. I am not doubting you.

Which one?

Marty.

-Hi.

Dana, come on.

Marty. Wait.

We're going in the grave?

Dana, come on!

What is this place?

Yeah. I had to dismember

that guy with a trowel.

What have you been up to?

Nobody else, huh?

Yeah, I figured.

You figured everything.

Oh, not at all.

But, I do know some stuff.

As in..

It's an elevator.

Somebody sent those dead

fucks up here to get us.

Now, there's no controls inside, but

there's maintenance overrides in there.

And I think I can get it to go down.

Do we wanna go down?

Where else are we gonna go?

Come on. Get in.

Come on!

F***ing zombie arm.

Oh, sh*t.

We chose.

What? What?

F***!

All that sh*t we were playing with.

They made us choose.

They made us choose how we die.

We saw them go down the access drop.

They have to be in one of these.

Internal security can..

I don't care if it's not protocol.

Are you f***ing high?

It's the fool! Do not touch the girl.

If he outlives her,

this whole thing goes to hell.

Take him out first.

Cleanup says the prep team
