Best seen with friends

Rating: 7/10 (4 May 2012)

"Cabin in the Woods" is horror/comedy - a type of movie I haven't seen in awhile but one that I have always enjoyed.
It was done in the same vein as Evil Dead (they go to a cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash evil by reading a passage from a book), Scream (meta-horror aware of the rules), and...Scooby Doo (bunch of friends pile into a van and there's a stoner guy who provides comic relief).
You can't go into this movie thinking that it is going to be traditional horror. I know the trailer promised that but guess what - IT LIED. You will not experience gripping fear or be scared or want to crawl into your mommy's bed. You might pee your pants when you see the unicorn though.
Cabin is the perfect "bad movie night" movie that you watch with a bunch of friends, a bowl of popcorn, and just laugh and have a good time. It doesn't take itself too seriously and you shouldn't either.
