Don't trust the high IMDb mark!

Rating: 3/10 (20 August 2012)

Having watched Chronicle without the Mrs, and regretting the fact she didn't see it with me (it is an excellent film IMO) I saw this was out and thought it would be selfish of me to watch it alone. It has a high IMDb mark, which can often be trusted, and in particular a very high mark for a horror film.
Unfortunately, my Mrs was rather angry with me for ruining her Saturday night by getting her to watch The Cabin In The Woods.
The "twist" is not really a twist, as you'll know exactly what's going by the halfway point. And you'll know 90% of what is going on by the 10th minute of the film. This means the film just meanders along. It all feels pointless. If folk regard the twist in this film as clever then I despair at the general viewing public.
I sniggered a couple of times at a couple of funny scenes. But I'm literally talking two times. As for scares, there are none to be found. The killings are not even up to standard horror deaths.
I'm a massive horror fan so was really looking forward to this supposed twist on the genre. Unfortunately it's a whole film based on an idea that was probably thought of at Pint Nine on a Friday night.
I mark it 3 out of 10 for the topless shot and the two funny bits.
Please don't waste your life on this. Hopefully some souls will be saved by this review and decide not to watch it.
