The Director (The Cabin in the Woods)

"This is all most unpleasant. I know you can hear me. I hope you'll listen. You won't get out of this complex alive. What I want you to try to understand is that you mustn't. Your deaths will avert countless others. You've seen horrible things: an army of nightmare creatures. And they are real. But they are nothing compared to what lies beneath us. There is a greater good, and for that you must be sacrificed. Forgive us... and let us end it quickly."

- The Director to Marty Mikalski and Dana Polk.

The Director is an important minor villainess in the 2012 horror movie The Cabin in the Woods.

She was portrayed by actress Sigourney Weaver.

History
She is the director of the facility that is responsible for the keeping of the Ancient Ones and the conducting of sacrificial rituals to these gods.

At the end of the film, she is heard over the intercom, telling Dana Polk and Marty Mikalski that they were never supposed to get down there.

When they get to the sacrificial chamber filled with the 5 symbols on the wall, she meets them and tells them that the entire thing was a ritual in order to stop the rise of the Ancient Ones and the end of the world. She tries to convince Dana to kill Marty; however, the werewolf attacks Dana and Marty attacks the Director. In the ensuing struggle, she fails to notice the undead zombie Patience Buckner, who kills her with an axe to the back of the head. Marty pushes the Director's body and Patience into the pit of a strange dark ocean where the Ancient Ones resides.
