After the "parody" movies of the 2000s comes The Cabin in the Woods, a lesson in how to poke fun at a genre while still telling a compelling story. It incorporates all the clichés of the horror genre but in a clever way that all ties together. Even when you think you know what's going to happen, the film goes off the rails and goes into completely new territory.
'Sentiment: Positive 🙂'
A slow starter but packed full of mystery all o can say for this film is its worth a watch. Difficult to explain but completely original this was such a fun watch once we got going, Grim, dark and unusually funny it's fantastic. Understandable characters played fantastically the twist is fantastic. A true spin on elements of horror I highly recommend regardless of your personal taste on this genre. Overall a brisk and fun watch
'Sentiment: Negative ☹️'
Give me a break. This movie was awful. Full of clichés and the most ridiculous twist that, quite frankly, ruins anything good that happened in this train-wreck of a movie in the first place. Is this really what passes for good horror today?SPOILER TO FOLLOW Are you ready? This is all a high-tech way to sacrifice humans for Gods that live underground on an earth that is obviously not ours. Once you know the big "secret" you really don't give a damn. Of course the victims that live in this alternate earth don't even have a clue that they may be part of the high-tech sacrifices that have been going on forever. Put that together with a bunch of overused horror and slasher clichés (and some awful comedy that was done far better in truly original movies like "Scream") and you have this garbage.
