Rating: 5/10 (16 September 2012)

The Cabin in the Woods is a bit like marmite; you either love it or hate it. It uses the typical people, a boyfriend and girlfriend, a stoner, a virgin and a boy who start to have a romance, just like every movie they throw in a pointless romance. It's meant to be a horror and a comedy and the only thing about it that was comical was the things the stoner came out with but apart from that I don't see the point in it being either, it's a bit silly and confusing but saying that, the way Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon used a cabin in the forest/woods was a clever but typical setting for a horror, as many people associate the woods with ghosts, zombies and the unknown. If it wasn't for the build up music and the loud sudden bangs, this wouldn't be a horror movie;they're the only thing that made it that. Otherwise it would've looked like a few zombies chasing some people. Having watched this movie twice I still think the ending of the movie was poor as it had nothing to do with what the film was about and altogether the film is just over rated.
