There's Something About 'Cabin in the Woods'.

There's something about 'Cabin in the Woods'; and even I, myself cannot succeed in describing that “something”. But then again, I thought it’d be better to leave it that way; I myself cannot succeed in things too. Like ‘Twilight Saga’ could not succeed in bringing a better movie – thank God it’s ending.

It isn’t your gut-wrench, spine-twist and eerie from start-to-finish type of horror. And eventually continually thinking about it, it’s more than your stereotypical cabin movies that features boobs and skirts outshining the shocks. And a rather ignored genius thought: the title ‘Cabin in the Woods’ doesn’t mean they mix cabin movies with woods movies either; both types of movies which I cannot tell the difference even. So why do I bother telling you this? I myself have no idea. Perhaps I’m too weird or just dumb to not come up with an eloquent description of ‘Woods’.

Supporting my dumbfounded thoughts, ‘Cabin in the Woods’ is actually, really an indescribable horror film that is rather its self. It’s at once a freaky and fun horror movie and to finally give a decent description, it is by JOSS FUCKING WHEDON and DREW FRIGGIN’ GODDARD. That’s how good it is.

Even the story in ‘Woods’ takes a mind to fully understand. For Dana (Kristen Connolly) and her friends, it is a weekend getaway off of the city. Something fun with her friends. Her peers consist an utterly stupid drugged lad, Marty (Fran Kranz, ‘Matchstick Men’); the stereotypical hunk, Holden (Jesse Williams); and even more stereotypical, the jock and the blonde slutty girlfriend (Chris Hemsworth and Anna Hutchison); and then she, Dana, the virgin. Everything goes smooth until they reach Curt’s old vacation house which is cleverly constructed in the middle of the woods. Things go wrong as they hear whispers everywhere from the area and different creatures and apparitions come after them.

Little did they know, that everything that are nightmarish and fiendish they have been experiencing is artificially controlled in a scientific facility far away from them. To my understanding, the science facility is somehow been able to envelope all things and creatures terrifying to people and control them to have random people sacrificed for the evil entities. In this movie’s reali—what am I saying? I shouldn’t be giving away spoilers. Just watch and get convoluted and still get entertained and scared still.

Everyone just stay together! Curt would yell as if commanding his friends. A cold partition of the atmosphere fills his sanity; a whisper enters his thoughts. No, I think we should split up. 

In this movie’s reality, when you’re being chased by a school of zombies puppeteer-ed by a faraway scientific facility, split up. The movie has such a fresh and remarkable idea. It is however vague, that sometimes you don’t know what is happening and why it is happening. In spite of this, you have a good time being safely spooked by terrifying moments.

The characters were firmly molded to the filmmakers’ preference and the actors playing them were good actors completely misleading us to the notion that ‘Cabin in the Woods’ is a small-time cabin movie and then completely get surprised on how humongous this thing turns out.

Pacing away from your typical atmospheric and twisted horror film, ‘Woods’ is a fun and at the same time horrific story worthy to stay glued to. It is supported by a skillful crew and a loveable cast. It’s Joss “Eff word-ing” Whedon for Pete’s sakes. Grab it, effin’ now!
