The Cabin in The Woods Review

With The Avengers hitting Cinemas in America this week and with the film already out here in Britain. People might just watch this film without watching the other film from the mind of Joss Whedon (Firefly) which takes the common knowledge of a Slasher film and totally spins it out of control. This mini Masterpiece is what is referred to as The Cabin in The Woods. A film that has gathered praise from film critics American and Brittish alike.

The film revolves around 5 Twenty Somethings who are manipulated into spending the weekend at a remote cabin in the middle of the Woods. What they don't know is that a team of people are watching their every move to decide on what they send to kill them. As a Zombie Redneck Torture Family rise, Bodies begin to fall but can the remaining Survivors discover the secrets hidden from them and most importantly why?

The film is a treat in many aspects of the word and features more monsters than you could shake a stick at. Monsters within the film include Werewolfs, Spiders, Rats, Snakes, Bats, Zombies, Ghosts, Clowns and there if you look closely you can even see the twins out of The Shining and a similar box to the Puzzle box from the Hellraiser Franchise aswell as many more monsters (Some from other Horror Films). The Film has a fantastic cast including Kristen Connelly (The Happening), Chris Hemsworth (Avengers Assemble), Fran Kranz (Donnie Darko), Jesse Williams (Brooklyn's Finest), Richard Jenkins (Let Me In), Bradley Whitford (Billy Madison), Amy Acker (Catch me if you can) and a Cameo appearance by the queen of Sci-Fi Sigourney Weaver (Alien). The film also features a song during the credits that really feels right for that movie, The Song is "Last" by Nine Inch Nails. All in all, The Cabin in The Woods is a fun and silly film which is extremely enjoyable. Personally though you like it or you don't. Watch it and decide and comment your thoughts on the film. ****
