The Cabin in the Woods Review
22:39:00
Hello My Lovely's,
Thanks to Lionsgate again for this DVD! Here is my review of
the film :)
Now I love a good horror film, but honestly stay away from
this one. It will honestly leave you so annoyed for weeks because of its
rubbish over the top ending.
Directed by Drew Goddard and produced by Joss Whedon, way
before his 'Avengers' days, the film focuses on the 90's style teenage horror
films in the 21st century. Starring Chris Hemsworth as the only noticeable
actor in the film, it makes pulling my own eyes out seem like a more enjoyable
hobby to be doing.
While all media aspects of the film were seemed to be a
brilliant new spin on the horror genre this is anything but good. Five
teenagers, each one being part of the normal social clichés of films nowadays,
embarks on the horrors that teens are now fearful of due to the horror
industry. Of course from the title you can tell that it all seems to take place
around a 'Cabin in the Woods' however it is the brilliant and probably only
good part of this film that cause the horror. Societies around them are making
their worst fears come to life through the objects of their own desires in the
basement. As a viewer this was the only interesting part that I enjoyed as the
men were obviously taking the mick out of what they were witnessing. Although
this doesn't count for all of the film.
From the start you think it is all going to be okay and be
an actually alright horror film, but it is the annoying moments that make it
ridiculous.
An example of this is the scene in the lift. It was
brilliant how they had a lift that showed the only survivors the game in which
the men on screen were playing, although when it later comes back to the horror
figures actually coming out on screen, it was a lovely piece of CGI work. This
was the start of the boring mayhem about to take place.
It all makes it melodramatic conclusion in that one moment
called the supposed ending! Dying to stop the underworld taking over. Oh
Brilliant! Just what everyone needed to watch! It ruined the film! Ruined! What
starts out as a great film that has hope turns into a load of rubbish that I
honestly could not stand! I have seen the film three times now and even to this
day it still makes me mad that they used something so over the top to end the
film.
I know the review was short however I completely disliked
the film and I honestly didn't have much to say about it over than its
weaknesses. It was quite ironic I got sent this film as I had been speaking
with a follower on Twitter about the film only a couple of days ago :)
For this melodramatic piece of rubbish I am giving it...
2 Stars
Until Next Time...
