The Cabin in the Woods is a bit confusing at first, but if you hold on tight and pay attention, you're gonna enjoy the ride. This film eviscerates slasher movie archetypes and presents audiences with a unique and, frankly, smarter horror movie -- complete with Joss Whedon's trademark wit and clever writing. Plus, the climax won me over with a horror reference smorgasbord. I wasn't sure at first, but the more I think about this film, the more I like it.
I see a lot of hate in these reviews which is, in my opinion, out of place. Sure, the movie isn't a masterpiece, but I think a lot of people don't see this as it is. It's a mix of satire, spoof and homage to all the horrormovies (and their clichés) we've been served since the beginning of cinema. And in that, the movie doesn't take itself serious, just as an 'original' horror movie mustn't be taken serious. So watch this as a fun, entertaining homage with all the cliches of those movies we all know. And in that, they did a fine job.
What i thought would be a good horror film turned out to a totally random waste of an hour and a half. With no real build up to get into the characters, then straight into unrealistic zombies running round. Should be down as a comedy
Was not expecting much from this movie; but i have to say i was pleasantly surprised.
