Wahhhh?

Rating: 4/10 (24 April 2012)

Argh! What is the deal with this movie? It was shelved for a couple of years because of the trouble MGM had hit it, and has just now been realised because it stars Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and has been met with critical acclaim. In fact, everyone who's seen it seems to be raving about it, so I thought "I want to see this so I can be one of the ones to spread the word on how great it is." Well sorry, but I'm going to be one off the apparent few to let people know how un-great it is!
What drew me to "The Cabin in the woods" the most, was that people were calling it something "different." A "game-changer!" Well I will agree that it is different. It's different to a point of stupidity! I will say that there are a lot of ideas in this flick. But these ideas seem small compared to what let's it down. I suppose it is good that the film goes in a totally different direction from what I expected. But for all those who think this is a good thing, I'm sure there will be just as many people (like me) disappointed with where it ends up.
I can understand where the praise for this film is coming from (a little) but no amount off being unpredictable can hide the fact that "The Cabin in the woods" is overall dumb, poorly written, and full of plot holes. It's also suppose to be a scary movie too if anyone remembers. But the way it goes makes it more off a laughable attempt at making us jump. I'm a bit more sold on the idea off this being a comedy, because in it's own way it's one of those "So bad it's good" films. But as a horror film, it's a fail. Even it's "uniqueness" isn't all that new. An over-hyped mess this.
