The Cabin in the Woods (2011)

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2012)

To tell you what this film is about is to spoil it. Basically we have 5 college kids go to a cabin in the woods. You can guess where it will go from there, but there is a side story that hints at something strange and new. The Cabin In The Woods is a perfect deconstruction of the predictability of horror and actually gives an explanation as to why the genre is so predictable. The characters are excellent with each one being a real human being and not just a cliché. The humour is so well written I was in hysterics. Jenkins and Whitford make an excellent double act that I want to see more of. The effects, gore, action were all spot on and I could just gush continuously about how awesome that end was. All I'll say is that I had massive expectations and knew more than I wanted to about the film, and I was still constantly surprised and wowed every few minutes.
