Truly a masterpiece of the Horror Genre

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2014)

I gave this film a full 10 stars as it is one of the few that I felt truly deserve such a rating. Far too often we see horror films, where at least one person lives and all is right with the world at the end. The Cabin In The Woods does not do this or at least that is what we are left to believe at the end. We do not know the true outcome, though we are left with an idea from which we draw our own conclusions. The ancient ones apparently rise, but at that point the credits roll. The addition of comedy to this film makes it that much more enjoyable as I found myself laughing at some of the dialogue. This is not because it was so stupid it was funny, but because it was genuinely written to be funny and succeeded at such. The cast performed beautifully and the movie is what I would call a must see. I've seen some negative reviews for this movie and I have to wonder what movie those individuals were watching. It obviously wasn't this one. The premise of the movie is one that I've not seen done in this manner previously or at least not with this level of success. All in all, this is a must see movie.
