10 Movies You Didn't Know Contained Illuminati Symbolism

7. Ritual Sacrifice Is Used To Control The Real World - The Cabin In The Woods

For most people, Joss Whedon's The Cabin In The Woods is a masterclass in postmodern/meta horror movie making, its endless cross-references to other movies from the genre and playful subversion of the horror movie rules making it one of the most popular horror movies of its kind. But beneath the surface - both of the knowing references and the ground under the cabin - lies a cautionary tale about the use of ritual sacrifice by the shadowy elites of the real world. At least, according to some. From the nameless organisation which controls the annual sacrifices to the old gods to the archetypal victims - the whore, fool, virgin etc. - The Cabin In The Woods in said to be replete with Illuminati symbolism. It's an interesting theory, although no evidence of widescale human sacrifice to the old gods has emerged in recent centuries to support these comparisons. That said, if the Illuminati are doing it in secret you'd never get to hear about it anyway...
