The Cabin in the Woods (2012)


Directed by: Drew Goddard
Written by: Drew Goddard & Joss Whedon

Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin, where they get more than they bargained for, discovering the truth behind the cabin in the woods.


I had heard a lot of good things about The Cabin in the Woods, and my friend had heard a lot of mixed things about The Cabin in the Woods. It came up on Netflix and we decided to watch it.

There's something really peculiar about this movie. Sure, it's a horror comedy, but it stands out from typical horror comedies that are mostly bad, annoying parodies like Scary Movie. This is up there with Jennifer's Body. A horror comedy, that's actually pretty good, clever and stands out.

It plays out like a typical horror movie, and even though it's a satire, those cliches are still annoying, even though they have a perfect explanation them. But there are also so many funny details and scenes. We actually had to rewind one scene just to laugh at it again.

I don't know how much I can say without spoiling the fun. But The Cabin in the Woods is definitely a special film, and I still have hard time saying if it's good or not. But I'm going to go with good.
