So “the secret” has been out for a few weeks now, but I still can’t bring myself to write publicly about the ending of Liongate’s The Cabin in the Woods for fear of ruining some lagger’s future enjoyment. Despite the rave reviews, I know a bunch of people will wait to see this movie on DVD. Fools!
“The secret” is not that there is a high-tech control room beneath the Cabin wherein a shadowy organization is controlling the supernatural happenings above. Anyone who saw the TV commercials already knows that. “The secret” is why this is happening and who this organization works for.
