You can’t beat the classics

You can watch the trailer HERE.

This movie is rated R.

To start out this movie review, I must say I still do not fully understand the point of The Cabin in the Woods. I just wanted to see a good old scary movie with a few friends on a Friday night, and instead I got a whole lot of confusion.

The movie starts out with a bunch of kids going to some distant relative’s cabin in a remote part of town and of course, in the first fifteen minutes, there is a creepy old man trying to warn them not to go (big shocker there). As the night goes on, the cabin’s occupants start disappearing one by one, only to have the teens discover another dead body. The only unique part of the plot is that the cabin is controlled by an underground facility filled with of a group of people, who, for some unknown reason are strategically planning on how to kill all of the teenagers. Everyone in the facility has their own preferred way to inflict harm on the teenagers, and, of course, after the kids have enjoyed a healthy dose of drugs and alcohol, the horrors come out to play. I won’t spoil anything for you, but the facility’s tactics become so cheesy and cliché, making me want to laugh rather than run out of the theater in fear.

I have to give the movie some credit. It was a decent attempt to spice up the classic kids-go-to-a-cabin-in-the-woods-and-end-up-dying horror movie and make it a satire at the same time. In all honesty, it didn’t end up being as great as I hoped it would be. By the end of the movie, I still did not understand why everyone would waste their time to sit in a bright room and kill a bunch of kids with mechanical zombies. Rather than wasting your time with a confusing horror movie, just go with the classic Freddy Krueger or Friday the 13th. You can’t beat the classics.
