Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2012)

Thor and his friends go for a little getaway to the titular place for a weekend of typical cheesy eighties horror shenanigans.
Then good old Joss Whedon nips past and tries to do a Kevin Williamson, rewriting the whole horror genre.
The twist in this is in fact that the cabin is there for more sinister reasons, Men in shirts in an underground office are watching their every move and waiting with baited breath what they pick in the cellar.
It decides not just their fate, but a lot of people.
I've been waiting for three years to see this movie, even Hemsworth god fed up and became a god of thunder, but was it really really worth the wait.
In short no.
The film is good, and has some really innovative parts (the last twenty minutes could be the craziest thing i've seen on the screen in a long time, but when every scene featuring the titular place becomes boring compared to what is happening with two old men in an office, things are not right.
First you must realise is that this film is Svi-Fi. It gas horror elements to it, but it's not your average horror flick. The scenes with the cabin and the teens are just too predictable, and whether this was the intention of the writers, i'm sure they didn't intend to bore the audience.
The cast are fine, but what makes tis film so watchable is the casting of Jenkins and the other guy whose name escapes me as the ones who are making it happen. These are genuinely endearing scenes and the script sparkles with wit and intelligence, then we get back to the dull teens.
So all in all it's a great shame that the titular place is boring, but calling this film 'Two men in an office' doesn't have the same ring to it.
An whoever thought it would be a good idea to have a bird fly into the shield near the beginning, ruined what could have been one of the best 'deaths' in the whole film.
Great last twenty minutes, great in the underground office, dull, dull, dull with the kids.
