Recently, I have yet to watch a new horror film that I really liked. This is all changed when I saw Cabin in the Woods. Cabin in the Woods was released on April 13. It stars Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Bradley Whitford and Kristen Connolly. Most of the cast are not household names, which is usually a good sign for horror movies. It was written and produced by Josh Whedon, who is directing the new Avenger movie.
The film looks like a typical slasher horror film. Five teens go on vacation into the woods and stay at a cabin. It has all the ingredients for a slasher film, until halfway through the film it is clear this is not the case. What makes this movie great is the fact it has a great twist at the end. It is hard to give a great review without giving the twist away. The twist really makes the movie enjoyable. The acting is terrible but in this case it works since most old horror movies have bad acting. The film is very gory, which is always good in a horror movie. Most horror movies these days are rated pg-13, which takes away from it being enjoyable. Cabin is rated R, and the gore really flows because of this. If you are a fan of horror movies and want to watch one with a great twist than this movie is for you.
