Smart, Interesting, and Entertaining -- A Breakthrough in Horror Films

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2012)

One of the most smartly entertaining, inquisitively unique, and surprisingly humorous horror films ever made. As should be expected from the writer of Cloverfield, The Cabin in the Woods takes you on a psychological thrill ride into a place of nightmares where Saw meets The Hunger Games and will surprise and intrigue you as you unravel the story. The movie throws convention aside and takes the genre to a new, deeper level. Fit to entertain all, there is plenty of blood and gore, a host of horrifying creatures, and an interesting and deeply rooted conspiracy. Despite its occasional quirks and flaws, it will satisfy any viewer who enjoys horror and/or thinking movies. 7.8/10
