You're in for a big surprise

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 2012)

Joss Whedon co-scripted this atypical horror flick and his creative fingerprints are all over the film. It's what SCREAM could have achieved, but fell short of. Where SCREAM aspired to deconstructing the mythology of the slasher flick and reconstructing it as a self-aware parody, CABIN sparks the target in a much more holistic and satisfying way - subverting the entire modern horror movie genre in order to achieve it's ends.
Clever, smart, it absolutely takes the stereotypical set-up and characters for thousands of by-the-numbers slasher/horror flicks and turns them upside down and inside out.
It's funny, subversive, unpredictable. An intriguing, perplexing roller-coaster ride with vats of gore and a cracking conclusion. And Sigourney Weaver.
What's not to like.
