Product Description

Amazon.ca

An affectionate, extremely knowing spoof that also manages to be a full-blooded, rip-snorting scary movie, this Joss Whedon production should have horror fans levitating off of their seats with bliss. Kicking off with the best title card of the year, the film follows a standard assortment of college kids (jock, stoner, cheerleader, bookish Final Girl, etc.) as they head to the creepy, cobwebby location of the title. Meanwhile, a pair of blas� white-collar drones (the wonderful Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford) trudge through what appears to be just another day in the office. These plotlines are not altogether unrelated. Those averse to spoilers can be forgiven for applying earmuffs from here on out, but one of the beauties of Whedon and Drew Goddard's script is how it manages to continually up the ante, revealing the basics of its plot in the very first scene and then proceeding to run amuck within the boundaries it so gleefully establishes. (If you think you've got it figured out, just wait five minutes.) Although scoring major points for ambition, debuting director Goddard does occasionally struggle with the film's swings between laughs and screams, with a couple of promisingly scary scenes blunted by badly cued punch lines. In addition, as with many Whedon projects, some viewers may find this teetering on the edge of glibness, with every character sporting a full arsenal of almost too-clever wisecracks at the ready. Any such nitpicking, however, should be obliterated by Cabin's completely hellzapoppin' final act, which mashes-up seemingly every supernatural trope in existence into a coherent, outrageously plasma-soaked validation of the genre. In conclusion, if you have any interest in horror movies at all, you gotta see this. --Andrew Wright

Format:DVD
I am not a fan of horror, in general; especially since it's taken a complete detour from scary and tense to just slasher-porn. I like a horror movie that makes me laugh amongst the scares and doesn't take itself too seriously, and this movie was right up my alley. The closest thing to compare it to is obviously Evil Dead 2, but with less camp. The less you know going into it, the better, but I've seen it 3 times and I loved every minute of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A credit to its genre Aug 28 2012
By OpenMind TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Blu-ray
After the glorious slasher revolution of the 80s, with some genuinely frightening and original horror fare being released, things have gone stale in this movie category. Even the mighty John Carpenter seems to have lost his magic after The Thing, which was not only pants-poopingly scary but also had some great tension conveyed by the actors and unforgettable special effects. Gorno had a long run (and seems to still be running), but most of its representative movies were/are poorly conceived, even more poorly imitated, and just plain gross.

Thankfully, Joss Whedon has produced a fantastic horror movie that stays away from camp and torture porn, and even manages to make the audience feel conflicted about whether or not they want the protagonists to survive.

Five characters, all cliches without being so (examples: a sensitive jock, a pot-smoking nerd, a demure hottie) travel to the title location for a weekend break. The actors portray them as honestly as possible, never straying into cheesiness. The heroes get hacked down one by one, so there isn't a huge body count, but one of the strengths of the movies lies with doing so much with so little in the way of location and cast. As the five friends are dispatched, there are frequent cutaway scenes to what appears to be an underground bunker of an office with two somewhat apathetic buttoned-down types surveilling the events unfolding in the cabin, and even contriving them to some degree. What kind of twisted desk jockeys are these guys? And why are they so indifferent to the point of laughing at the heroes' misfortune?

My only criticism of this highly creative and genre-bending film is that it's perhaps a bit too short on genuine scares. It nonetheless has a high replay value for its humour and originality, and will surely be enjoyed numerous times with amateurs of horror films.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertainment with a twist... Sep 24 2012
Format:Blu-ray
The producers gives you a title like Cabin in the Woods...but theres so much else
in this movie.
Not to give anything away, its not your regular cabin movie where everybody will
get killed in a gross manner...this one is different.
Its quite entertaining, and all actors/actresses do a decent job.

When you watch the special features, you will see all the hard work done for the creatures in this movies...but in the movie itself the shots are so fast that you dont get to appreciate the full features of these creatures...that why i ended up
re-watching some parts for more details.
A keeper for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A scary spoof?
This is a very well made horror movie, and I am someone who loves the genre. That said, it deliberately frames itself almost as a spoof of the genre, with all the "typical"... Read more
