This film is a must see. A good film to show new to horror movie watchers!

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2015)

This movie puts an interesting twist to the horror/slasher film genre. The acting (Hemsworth, Polk, Mikalski and others) was by far some of the best in modern horror films. Not that this movie required amazing acting, it required realistic acting which was portrayed very well. What sets this movie apart is its lurid monsters and death scenes. While being "scary" it was not to gruesome, which allows a wide variety of audiences that I think would enjoy this film. Cabin In The Woods has two running stories in one film (which is something I have not seen before in horror films). While we see the typical teenager mini-vacation and drugs and alcohol, the audience views an almost "behind the scenes" version of what seems to be an institution trying to kill them. As the kids fight for their survival, and underlying message of world destruction comes to surface. All of this is brilliance in its authenticity of writing and directing by Goddard. I strongly recommend movie to all people young and old who are looking for a chilling, intriguing movie. I always judge my views on films by if they were memorable or not, and this film (especially the last scene) was very memorable. In a life or death situation how far would you go to save yourself and the world?
