A Plot So Thick It'll Stick To Your Brain

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2012)

The Cabin In The Woods is crazily deep and provocative without sacrificing the campiness that we adore in modern horror movies.
At first I thought (and as much was evident in a preview) that there were just two guys getting their rocks off by tormenting some kids. I, in fact, hated the idea. I thought it made things terribly realistic, almost too realistic to be horror. But on top of this were piled endless dimensions of frightening and far-out ideas.
The best thing about the movie is that the plot has so many chances to completely screw itself over. To slip up and become immediately a "Good idea, but crappily executed picture." But it doesn't. Despite all the crazy and at some points zany outrageousness, this film still flies true and shocks to the core.
You thought it could never happen. But this film is outrageous, without being stupid.
