Cabin in the Woods

For this movie, the Cabin in the Woods, I was more mind-blown than any other emotion. It was not as scary as I thought it would be, even though it was a horror film and I greatly dislike things that pop out. It was kind of predictable on how each person would go, except near the end when everything just became very complicated and confusing. The characters themselves feel very stereotypical: the jock, whore, fool, scholar and virgin. I personally would have added a sixth person to make things even, like “the fake” or “the pretender”. What I thought was interesting was that the jock could have also been the scholar because in the beginning of the movie, he made a book suggestion to Dana (which suggests he does keep up with his school work and knows his stuff). The movies does have its stereotypical horror film moments but it was a bit more on stranger since once all the monsters come flooding out of the elevators. There were also lots of supernatural elements to this film, especially with the monsters and such. It also became stranger that “gods” would be involved in all of this. Aren’t “gods” suppose to be good and protect people? Not keep monsters that are dangerous to the humans of earth? Overall, I came out of watching this film very intrigued on how it all played out… and kind of grossed out by all the violence.
