Stick it, stick it good!

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2017)

If John Waters had made a horror film this would be it. This is one camp romp through a genre that, sadly, has become self-parodying. If you are completely humourless you either won't get it or won't like it but if you watch this movie knowing it's giving you the finger, so to speak, you should enjoy the experience. Any description of proceedings would spoil the ride so just know 'Cabin' is that rare mix of humour that isn't right out comedy yet is very much dark satire and still has its fair share of thrills ending in an unexpected crescendo of...well...you'll have to wait for Signourey Weaver's delicious entrance as conductor of the finale. The one complaint is the usual Hollywood lack of gender diverse roles in the story-line. Where are the LGBT characters? This movie, like most mainstream releases, is so predictably Hetero, they ultimately disappoint. 'Cabin' could have done with some man-on- man and woman-on-woman action to truly speak to the general public. Movie studios need to get with the new Millennium and dispense with their narrow view of sexuality. That being said, 'Cabin' is certainly camp, which puts it a notch above the lame horror films it so cleverly is parodying. A fun trip into the woods which won't end quite the way most would expect!
