Suspenseless, tedious, tiring

Rating: 4/10 (1 October 2012)

I heard good things about "The Cabin in the Woods" and very much looked forward to watching it. I felt very let down after viewing it. The movies characters were standard slasher movie fare. So much in fact, that thought the film was going be satirical. My idea of satire has an intrinsic thread of humor, but this film had none. The attempts at humor manifested mostly as pot head jokes which have grown shop worn over the past 50 years. There was a complete lack of suspense. When the murderers appeared, my reactions were, "Okay. Move on." The movie was very gory. Very. Gory to excess even by slasher movie standards. The premise of the movie was a clever twist, but it fell flat in the assault of splattering gore. "The Cabin in the Woods" was, for me, a disappointment.
