A fresh take on horror

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2012)

Horror films today have been very predictable and and often a little too concentrated on making people jump than having a unique storyline. Paranormal activity 1,2 and 3 are all the same with exception of a different house, scream is a bunch of bad acting teenagers running away from a man in a black bed sheet not to mention the upcoming far fetched film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the man abolished slavery not hunt vampires.
The Cabin in The Woods however, takes the typical scary horror of high school kids being attacked in the woods and adds to it a technological aspect. This is in fact Drew Goddard's (Writter of Lost and Cloverfield)first ever directed film and I for one really enjoyed it.
The outcome and reasoning of what happens in the end doesn't make much sense and could have been far better written. It feels like its quickly been finished. A clever horror will leave the viewer thinking it may happen to them but cabin in the woods is too out there to believe.
Overall a great film, something you can watch and really not know what will happen next.
