Hmmmmmm...what do I say about Cabin? Is it the most brilliant horror movie ever made? No. Is it the worst trash ever? No. So what is it?
It's a twist of a script that doesn't just explain itself from the beginning. Thats why the reviews are so mixed. If you expected and enjoyed straightforward movies like Wrong Turn or Wolf Creek this ain't it. Definitely not a serious film.
But.....even if you enjoy horror movies with a twist I found it lacking. The reveal near the end wasn't worth the 45 + minutes of "huh whats going on?"
It was very funny. I found myself cracking up quite a few times. The jump factor is also good along with some creative CG. All and all the movie is just OK entertainment. Reviewers who call it groundbreaking must be teenagers who really haven't been around the block with Hitchcock and Corman.
It does however remind a lot of a film I watched awhile back and really enjoyed which was called Waxwork. A fun campy horror movie not to be taken seriously and no CG. Check it out if you liked Cabin in the Woods.
