Much less one that released the monsters into the facility? When would that ever be useful or desirable?

All the nightmare creatures in the world and the only safeguard is a flip cap over a switch and a big, red candy-like button. No key (or, better yet, dual key) safeguards or anything.

It's a wonder it took the SCP Foundation that long to get wiped out if they were that sloppy with security.

Its because you touch yourself at night, OP.

I need to stop doing that, it seems to be the source of most of the world's troubles.

If they didn't kill enough people the Ancients would rise and so they had a button to release monsters in to the facility because if all else fails people still need to die.

But the monsters killed everyone in the facility and the ancients still rose tho?

The ancients rose because the monsters failed to kill the one person they were supposed to.

Frankly I'm surprised that none of the people at the facility were an appropriate substitute. There were more than a couple young people working there. Not a single one of them was a fool?

My guess for the purge button is that it would flood the cabin dome with monsters, definitelY killing the teenagers above ground.

But I think the stoner and the virgin broke the elevator by trying to control it? So the monsters got stopped up and overflowed the compound instead.

See, releasing all the monsters above ground would make tons more sense.

But even if the elevator thing were true. they only broke one and there were at least eight. Frankly, I don't see why the elevators full of monsters would even be capable of accessing the main facility.

Did they ever explain why "Upstairs" rerouted the tunnel collapse power?

Chris Hemsworth's death scene was hilarious.

I was so busy feeling sorry for the people who worked in the facility that most of the "humor" in the rampage didn't land, but I'll admit the merman death scene made me laugh.

If it was only visible / tangible to the person it was after it would have really driven home a sense of hopelessness and dread from being helpless and alone even in a crowded room. Not to mention the added isolation of having everyone who loves you totally disbelieve you're in danger from anything beyond your own seeming disconnect with reality. It's the target vs the monster, and the only weapon in your arsenal is a long term game of Keep Away that you can't keep playing forever.

The fact that she can just direct her friends to it so they can toss a blanket on it and say "Ha, there you are" and that they can actually impede it's progress diminishes the sense of inevitability and hopelessness the movie had established. At that point it's like, "Well next time why don't they splash it with paint and pin it to the wall with a fork lift?" It just undermined the movie and all it's metaphors as casually as Yukon Cornelius stealing the Abominable Snowman's teeth.

It was a metaphor for AIDS.

Actually the scariest and best horror movie of all time was The Exorcist.
