We are the Gods!
This will be my last post on ‘The Cabin in the Woods” (probably). I’ve written four other posts relating to different aspects of the film. If you have the time, please have a read. As usual, this post contains SPOILERS At the end of the film, we discover that people all across the world are [...]

Everything is Spiritual
My mind is racing with thoughts, questions and I thought the only way to try and make sense of it all was to put down a blog. I don’t normally do these things. It’s not really for anyone else to see (although if you are reading this then it is). It’s more a way for [...]
