Unsettling Fantastic Piece of Work

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2015)

The Cabin in the Woods was a really different kind of horror movie. Instead of using the basic pop-out scares and unsettling character traits, this movie has combined the use of a cursed object that teenagers merely find in the basement of a cabin in the woods. From the start of the movie to the end, I was excited and prepared to have my mind blown and my body thrown out of my seat as I'd experience this new kind of horror movie genre. The Cabin in the Woods was a completely new vision of the kind of horror that I love to be apart of. This movie contained the essence of a laboratory underground run by a secret organization who sells the picture of different haunts throughout the world. The movie was more seen as an experiment (literally) where different monsters locked in boxes underground get summoned by different artifacts that any stranger could find in their home or school. These monsters were designed to kill the people who summoned them so the cooperate office underground running the show, could have higher ratings. The movie was more than unsettling, it was a complete turn from a regular everyday scary movie that you would see with your friends. To me, it is defined as the start of a new legacy of scary movies since 2012.
