'Release the Monsters' Scene | The Cabin in the Woods

Dana (Kristen Connolly) correlates the monsters with the objects in the cabin's cellar and realizes that the objects determine which monsters are released. So, cornered by security personnel, the pair release all the monsters, which wreak havoc and slaughter the staff.

Or if the base isn't being infiltrated, you can purge all the monsters by locking the door and releasing them against each other. It's the monster purge button, so they wipe each other out. It's why all the doors point at each other. PRoblem is, the security staff was in the room. sTill dumb. But not completely stupid. It had a train of logic, it just ignored common sense safety protocols.

@@kiddfaith4397 Legit, I think that, within the rationale of the movie, that lever might actually be a necessary part of the facility's construction, like some SCP style logic. Like, the whole point of the facility is that they are dancing on the razor's edge of oblivion in the hopes of placating the Ancient Ones. I wouldn't be surprised if, in order for the nightmares to be properly contained, there actually HAD to be a really easy "release them all" switch built into, or else the nightmares would just naturally escape.

I like to imagine that it’s a last resort button, in case the situation doesn’t work they release all the monsters and hope that the ensuing carnage is enough to entertain the gods

[@ndfdm5705]

I don't know. One one hand: something like control room would definitely need some sort of access key to work on. on the other hand: Big organisations, government or corpo love to skim corners based on the idea that what is unlikely to happen is in fact impossible to happen. So It kind of feels realistic that they would leave the room expsoed because no one would unlock all the monsters simply because they'd screw themselves. At least on paper, I mean. My guess that if I was going to reach for a reason for why the system has that it was for when the cages were empty and you needed to cycle through the new cage system. No reason not to open all the doors at once to get the monster in. Which would explain as to why when the system felt the cages were empty - went from its first state 1: full to state 2: empty which would be opposite for its original intent - it would continue to cycle. That's the only logical reason I could see the cycle system being there still. Because it was too much effort to remove after. That or it was a desperate back up plan to kill any of the tributes. You know, lead them down the lab. Evacuate it. Then release all monsters. Job done.

I think the novel might have explained it's purpose. Like if the sacrifices got into the facility and it was a last ditch effort to kill them- and everyone else was collateral. Of course, they never intended a sacrifice to be doing it.

[@DaRkLoRdZoRc]

The entire movie's plot is that this 'ritual' is, in the most objective sense, a business transaction of sorts. The Ancient Ones were wrecking the shit out of the world already, but then they stopped and struck up a deal with early humanity. Presumably, they got bored or something, because humanity sure as shit didn't overpower them, and I doubt that we outsmarted them, either (beyond some very basic 'Please stop killing us and in exchange we'll do something cool.' negotiations). What I'm getting at is, I very much doubt that there was any mind control involved at all. The Ancient Ones probably dictated their terms very clearly, and designing a big red 'fuck everything' button was one of them. The real question is whether it was some sort of incredibly nuanced, tactical decision that took a lot of thought and negotiating to finalize, or if it was just Bogzogogt the Ancient One leaning over and saying to Gogzogogt, "Hey, watch what I'm gonna make the humans do. It'll be funny.".

[@ShugoryuGenkou]

I love this movie. I love the idea that there are dozens of ways the scenario could've gone if the college kids chose any other objects. It's funny too how they didn't entirely have a choice in what they did to avoid or stop the monsters. Still, the one seriously lame idea was the button that releases all the monsters. Who really thought freeing a zoo full of monsters was a good idea?

[@notme1972]

I love how a system purge button does not have any authenticator in place and you can just freely push it anytime.

[@toddkes5890]

They could have added a key to the side so it at least appeared locked, but the key is in arm's reach easily.

this is one of the best scenes from the movie and I would love for each of the creatures to have their own stand-alone movie about them. I mean some of them are super awesome so yeah, a spin-off would be super great!

[@tresdabney703]

They pretty much do. Hellraiser, The Strangers, The Purge, the tree from Evil Dead, Zombies, giant snakes.....all the monsters are based off characters from horror films so in a way there are already spin offs of each of these monsters

[@panama1131]

So I know there's a guy who gets his soul ripped out of him, but the one that stands out the most to me is the guy that gets pulled in by what seems to be some kind of tree creature, and then gets mulched. I just can't physically imagine what it did to that poor guy that quickly to liquify him to that extent.

[@bijuutamer729]

If I remember. That was the “angry molesting tree” yeah. That was probably one of the least pleasant death.

[@Nazhulian]

Ever since I saw this movie all those years ago, that's the one death that's always baffled and horrified me. Like... I really wanna know just what that tree did to him! There's nothing I can think of short of wringing him like a rag or eating him and then vomiting him up that could produce that amount of blood in those huge gushes. Edit: Well, I just looked it up. It's called AMT, The Tree. Short for 'Angry Molesting Tree'. Uh... _yikes._

[@bumblebeeman2103]

i went to the universal studios haunted house night in Florida once with the fam and my cousin. they had ridiculously long wait times for the haunted houses so we really only could see 2 of them, but by far the best out of those two that we visited was the haunted house themed after this movie. the whole thing was setup like you were there to witness the aftermath of the movie. all the easter eggs and monster cameos throughout the experience were so top tier. there was the bimbo's head stuck to a tree, the whole cabin was exatly the same layout, even with the wolf head on the wall. the big guy came out of the shadows and walked menacingly towards the visitors down a long dark hallway. they even had the part where the merman was eating the guy and the blowhole was squirting blood just like the movie

[@mestella5121]

As a child, this scene scared the hell out of me, but in my 20s, I have a lot of respect for someone & something that intentionally unleashed those monsters together, because sometimes that's what has to be done to humans who do inhumane things to others, they deserve it, what they sow, they reap

I get it now; the button needed to be used in case they needed to clear the facility by witnesses and others; maybe after locking the building of course. That could be the reason

[@marseanharper2785]

Nope! The button was another movie trope they made fun of. Everyone knows it wouldn't have been that easy to release EVERY creature, but we're enjoying the ridiculousness of the entire situation.

[@benlevan5645]

So... Why exactly is there a "release every monster at once into the facility" button? Seems like a feature such at that would be more designed to launch more terrors onto the surface when the sacrifices start gaining the upper hand.

[@Poppenheimer69]

Poor planning and regulations maybe? Rushed government project with military involved has to have those. I mean, every now and then some catastrophic crap happens and then people figure out "oh, maybe we should've made a proper locking mechanism instead of relying on several people *perfectly* executing the plan in a specific order when they attempt to not explode themselves during repressurising!"

I love the idea to capture the monsters and lock them in the prison. But I always wonder why they made a button that release every single monsters at once.

[@amythistxue1]

well it was labeled as a "Purge" button, and since the monsters were there to facilitate the "horror movie" ritual plan, I assume it means purge the facility if it was discovered/compromised to which a literal horde of horror movie monsters would do the job quite well, no idea how they would intend to get it back under control however now if this was an SCP facility where the whole point was capturing/containing the monsters I would bet the purge would have been a bit more along the lines of a nuclear bomb
