Monsters

Cabin in the Woods was hilarious. It referenced lots of different typical monsters in horror. The film also utilizes the typical horror camera angles in the beginning. Everything is tilted on its side, characters are not centered, and the viewer has a sense of wonder as to what exactly is going to happen next. However, during the scenes with the group responsible for unleashing the monsters, everything is still. We know exactly what is going to happen next.

The film also satirized many typical horror elements. When a character was about to make, or made, a terrible decision for the specific situation, another character, typically Marty, would call them out on it. The film also poked fun at all the gore found in modern horror movies. The ending scene and most of the deaths of the characters all included a large quantity of blood loss.
