The Cabin In The Woods review

Is Joss Whedon’s The Cabin In The Woods the best horror movie in years?

Here’s Sarah’s review of a perfectly constructed shocker…

Cue buckets of fake blood, running, screaming; the end.

So, yeah,The Cabin In The Woodslooks very, very familiar.

But its relying on the fact that you know that.

But while the pieces are all there, they could end up anywhere.

But it isnt just a straightforward kids-go-to-the-woods-and-get-murdered movie.

Everything thats set up in the first two-thirds is paid off, gloriously, in the final act.

Theres almost too much to take in.

(And yet, in some ways, it isnt a horror movie at all.)

Without that history, without a well-worn set of exhausted cliches,The Cabin In The Woodscouldnt exist.
