The Great Cabin in the Woods

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2012)

Cabin in the Woods is a classic horror movie that brings itself into modern times. The reason this movie has succeeded is because it is an extremely fun movie that will make you jump out of your skin. Cabin in the Woods can have you laughing and then in a split second your scared beyond belief. The movie is conducted by Drew Goddard and stars Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Connolly and Anna Hutchison. Cabin in the Woods appeals to both comedy and horror audiences.
In addition, personally the movie is a great horror movie. Cabin in the Woods takes all of the aspects of original horror movies, like the monsters, the mood, the end of the line, and even a small thing such as creepy people in the background, and mashes that into one big comedy/horror movie. Except in this movie, there are uncanny things that happen to each and every single person.
Additionally, Cabin in the Woods is also an fun comedy to watch. There are many little conversations between the group of college students that are funny to hear and watch the reactions to the people. But you would have to put everything else down, and just sit and watch the movie and you will see the comedy buried inside of this nit typical horror film.
On the other hand, Cabin in the Woods is a great movie to watch, the director could have used more imagination set the mood of the movie. The sound effects were a little on the cheesy side, when there is plenty of good sound effects and music that would be extremely outstanding and would fit this movie great. Additionally, the length of this movie may be of such notice to all of you out there. It is shorter than a general movie. It is only 95 minutes, so if your looking to watch a family movie that lasts a while, I, personally, would not recommend this one.
Furthermore, Cabin in the Woods is just a fun and unusual movie to watch. Normally in a comedy you would not find zombies and such, but in this comedy/horror, there are multiple options that could have to the college students. This movie is highly successful and it ventures so far off of the map. It inflicts many chuckled and horrifying gasps at the same time.
Nevertheless, Cabin in the Woods is a great movie to watch if you enjoy comedy and horror. There are some flaws in the movie, but if you can look past them, you have yourself a great and enjoyable movie. The movies biggest surprise is that it is not your typical modern, scary horror film we all know, it is funny and sometimes dulled by the illogic of the college students. If you are into horror, I challenge you to watch this movie.
