The Cabin in the Woods Page #5

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.

missed one of the kid's stashes.

Whatever he's been smoking's

been immunizing him to all our sh*t.

How does that help us right now? What?

No, if you have a confirmed kill,

take her out, too.

There.

Gotcha.

Bring 'em down.

Step out of the elevator!

Step out of the elevator!

Why are you trying to kill us?

- Step out! Just the girl!

What? -Just me?

Do it!

Good work, zombie arm.

You shouldn't be here.

This should've gone differently.

Ended more quickly.

I can only imagine

your pain and confusion.

But know this.

What's happening to you

is part of something bigger.

Something older than anything known.

You've seen horrible things.

An army of nightmare creatures.

But they are nothing

compared to what came before.

What lies below.

It's our task to placate

the ancient ones.

As it's yours to

be offered up to them.

Forgive us.

And let us get it over with.

Come on. Go in that room.

Army of nightmares, huh?

Let's get this party started.

Hold fire!

Oh, sh*t.

Go! Go! Go!

Lead officer Truman

to security command.

Requesting immediate reinforcements.

Code black. I repeat, code black.

Where the f*** are you guys?

Sector 12, down. Sector 8, down.

Sector 3, down. Jesus Christ!

Why aren't the defenses working?

Where's the f***ing gas?

Something chewed through the

connections in the utility shaft.

Something which?

- Something scary!

The north exit is blocked.

You can't go there.

Go, go, go!

F***! We're running out of time!

It's on lockdown,

I'm trying to bypass.

Hadley!

Oh, come on!

It's you.

No, no, no. Please, please.

Kill him.

Okay, Dana, come on.

Dana.

Here. It's easier with this.

Look at these.

Five of them.

What are they?

Us.

I should have seen it like you did.

This is part of a ritual.

A ritual sacrifice?

Great.

You tie someone to a stone, get a

fancy dagger and a bunch of robes.

Is that that complicated?

- No.

It's simple.

They don't just want to see us killed.

They want to see us punished.

Punished for what?

For being young.

It's different in every culture.

And it has changed over the years..

but it has always required youth.

There must be at least five.

The whore.

She's corrupted.

She dies first.

The athlete.

The scholar.

The fool.

All suffer and die at the hands of..

whatever horror they have raised..

leaving the last, to live or die..

.. as fate decides.

The virgin.

Me?

Virgin?

We work with what we have.

But what if you don't pull it off?

They rise.

Who does?

What's beneath us?

The ancient ones.

The gods that used to rule the Earth.

As long as they accept

our sacrifice, they remain below.

But the other rituals have all failed.

The sun is coming up in eight minutes.

If you live to see it,

the world will end.

Maybe that's the way it should be.

If you've got to kill all

my friends to survive..

maybe it's time for a change.

We're not talking about change.

We're talking about the agonizing death

of every human soul on the planet.

Including you.

You can die with them..

or you can die for them.

Gosh, they're both so enticing.

The whole world, Marty.

Is in your hands, Dana.

There is no other way.

You have to be strong.

Yeah, Dana..

you feeling strong?

I'm sorry.

So am I.

Marty..

Marty!

Hey.

You know..

I don't think Curt even has a cousin.

How are you?

Going away.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry I almost shot you.

I probably wouldn't have.

Hey, no. No.

I totally get it.

I'm sorry I let you get attacked by

a werewolf and then ended the world.

No.

Hey, you were right.

Humanity..

It's time to give

someone else a chance.

Giant evil gods.

I wish I could've seen them.

I know.

That would have been a fun weekend.
