Interesting take on the teenage horror genre

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2017)

I have some mixed feelings about this movie, but I know why that is. Although meant to be that way, the representations of the characters - whore, scholar, jock, stoner and virgin - were so one dimensional that I had trouble connecting with any of them. None of the main characters had any depth and I had a little bit of trouble with that. After it is all said and done though, it makes sense that they were portrayed that way.
There were also a few parts in the movie that didn't make much sense to me. Although I'm not going to write any specific spoilers, my understanding is that the cabin belonged to a family member of one of the characters. And how did the powers that be know that those particular college students were going to be there? And how did they get into their stuff?
The movie is worth a watch, if for nothing else because of the unique take on the genre. I really did enjoy that - I thought I was in for the same ol' same ol' - not so much!! The CGI and special effects are also worth a watch, and you'll see some quite interesting props as well! And you might be left with the question, as I was, of "Who are the real monsters here?"
