A surprising masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2012)

"The name of this movie says it all, it's an ordinary horror movie, probably a slasher taking place at a cabin in the woods."
That was what I thought, and The cabin in the woods starts as a prototype of a slasher movie. The characters are presented as classic stereotypes, and as you easily can guess, the blonde dies first and the virgin seems to be the surviver. But you will soon realize that this is not an ordinary horror film. The area where the boys and girls are getting killed is totally controlled by some people, but in the beginning their intentions are impossible to understand.
This 85 minute long masterpiece develops into a "comic horror adventure". As the time goes, you realize what the people that controlled the cabin and its surroundings were really doing, and why they did it.
The Cabin in the woods is really surprising. It starts with some youngsters going on a weekend trip to have some fun, and ends with the destruction of humanity. It is in my opinion one of the best horror movies of the 21:st century so far and a future classic.
And yes, the movie contains a unicorn.
