The Cabin in the Woods

When we started watching The Cabin in the Woods, I thought it was going to be scary. After watching it though, it turned out to be more comedic than scary. I enjoyed the movie because it had a lot of comedy relief, even at times when it wasn’t expected. The zombies in this movie were very different from the zombies in 28 Days Later. A major difference is that these zombies were summoned from their graves, while the zombies from 28 Days Later roamed around the entire city feeding off humans. As we talked about in class today, the audience is made aware that they are watching a movie; the use of metafiction makes the audience become aware of the characters’ situation and their fate. I think that metafiction made the movie more enjoyable to watch.
