Funny, intense and gory. Just the way I like it!!

Rating: 9/10 (14 September 2012)

Not a big fan of horror movies but usually when they're combined with comedy (like in Raimi's style of horror-comedy films like Evil Dead series)then I can usually sit through the film without having to worry when the next loud noise is gonna rocket me out of my chair into the ceiling.
The film is centered around 5 teens who are going to a "cabin in the woods" until evil undead come after them one by one, but a nice twist in the film is that they are all being monitored (revealed right at the start of the film) but only till the end we find out why.
It has an almost unusual plot which nicely unfolds towards the end of the film. I really enjoyed the humour put into the film which definitely separates it from being just a horror film and in a funny way, explains why weird monsters start attacking random people in other films.
A moment where I almost wet my pants was the appearance of the Mer-man which was good in breaking up the film from all the lovely goriness- just goes to show Whedon knows what he's doing! There's plenty of killing and blood but also some nice humorous bits and a good plot line drives this film through till the end and i highly recommend watching it even if you're not a horror fan.
