Question: What happened to Dani? Is it assumed that she stayed there as a new member of the cult? Did they kill her like the rest of the visitors? It's unlikely they would let her leave after she witnessed so much murder and mayhem. Was this explained in the movie?

Answer: After having chosen Christian to be sacrificed, Dani's slight, wry smile at the end indicates that she has accepted the cult and is now a willing member.
