Film Review For Cabin in the Woods
By George Robbins
[usr 4.5]
This film review for The Cabin in the Woods is being written to help decide if the film is worth watching. The movie is set up to seem like a slasher film at the start. This foreshadows much of the events that unfold. Thus, it is impossible to predict how it will play out. I did not know what I was going in to when I saw it for the first time. Although I knew it was a horror film, I didn’t know it was a comedy. Anyone who thought the same was in for a rude awakening.
The start of the film makes you quickly realize it is meant to be a parody. When everything begins to go wrong, I almost immediately started cracking up. The film itself is full of plenty of horror themes including the traditional blood and gore. However, as soon as people started placing bets on which monsters would kill the main cast I was holding my stomach laughing. The movie doesn’t take itself too seriously, so neither should you. It knows what it is and that is the point.
This film review for ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ is simply here to make you realize it is a fun movie. If you are going into this for a pure horror experience, then you will be disappointed. I would gladly watch this film over and over because comedy and horror just so happen to be my favorite genres. If that isn’t for you, then fine, but if it is, you are in for a good time.
