The Cabin In The Woods Review

October is finally here, so I wanted to write a review every day for a horror film. I want to start off with one of my favorite movies of all time: The Cabin In The Woods. It is written by Joss Whedon (AWESOME) and directed by Drew Goddard. Chris Hemsworth plays the lead, and the film is a horror/comedy film. It takes the horror movie genre and deconstructs it to it´s core. All of the stupid cliches are made fun of here, but not in a Scary Movie type of way, but in an extremely smart type of way.

The movie portrays five friends who travel to a remote cabin for a holiday and become victims of a seemingly stereotypical horror movie plot while being observed via hidden cameras by mysterious office workers. You have the jock, the hottie, the cutie, the stoner, and the smart guy are all here. All of the cliches are here, as are all the monsters ever invented. The movie grabs all the cliches, characters, and monsters from horror movies and puts them together in one very smart film. It´s funny when it needs to be, and scary when it needs to be too. The cast is great, giving excellent performances and they look to be having fun as well. The film is HUGELY entertaining, and I wasn´t bored once. 

I highly recommend this movie to anyone, it is extremely smart and very entertaining. Great writing, great acting, great directing, great EVERYTHING. I love this movie and The Cabin In The Woods definitely gets a 5/5.
