The Cabin In The Woods

Evil Dead may be one of the most nostalgic horror movies ever made from director Sam Raimi. My personal favourite is actually Evil Dead 2, for many reasons. More butchering, more body parts, more sick humour, just my kind of entertainement for a cup of coffe. Even if Sam Raimi left the horror genre for a while, he seems to be coming back to his origins. When i heard about The Cabin In The Woods, being a tribute to Sam Raimi as well as other horror genres, i became very curious. With a mix of everything, is The Cabin In The Woods a classic, or was this idea too good to be true?

College students Curt Vaughan ( Chris Hemsworth ), Dana Polk ( Kristen Connolly ), Jules Louden ( Anna Hutchinson ), and their friends, decide to go to a remote cabin in the woods. While the party starts, they are not prepared what is about to happen. In this cabin, everything is remoted by a company with technicians, who will do everything to put on a good show, no matter how brutal these young people get killed. The show have just started, and there is no limit to what could happen.

I will say The Cabin In The Woods is a fun twist on the Evil Dead area. And this company, who survive thanks to all the viewers of how they kill teenagers is a clever idea, brought into the classic zombie scenes. You can see director Drew Goddard have worked very hard to put these pieces together, without making too many mistakes. Another fun detail is how brutal these zombies are, more brutal than the usual zombie, with different kinds of weapons, ready to tear bodies apart. Let´s not forget one big suprise, Sigourney Weaver walks in at the end of this movie, and let us know very interesting details, which i won´t give away now. If you love horror, and know a lot of the genre classics, you will enjoy The Cabin In The Woods. This is a suprisingly functional tribute.
