Not your typical slasher film

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2012)

Cabin in the woods is at first you think your typical slasher 5 teens going into the woods and getting killed one by one. Also with the stereotype of the jock, geek, whore, drug user and virgin but it turns out completely different to other types of films such as Wrong Turn. Joss Wheldon and Drew Goddard cleverly used these stereotypes to make you think it is an ordinary slasher where they all get killed off and at first I thought it was but then once you see the bird fly into a force field, my opinion changed as it made me think something different is happening here. 'You think you know the story' the tag line of the film fits it perfectly as it completely changed the film and how I saw it. The plot of film is complex to understand to what they are doing with the 5 students but it is amazing once you realise that they need to sacrifice the students to the gods, I felt it was an original idea as I haven't seen a film like this before. Joining together horror/ comedy and sci-fi as well it worked perfectly and I really enjoyed watching the film as I didn't really know what was going to happen next.
