EARLY ACCESS: Cabin in the Woods FULL REACTION (Patreon)
Content
OCTOBER POLL WINNER: Cabin in the Woods is a film of paradoxes, offering both intriguing elements and perplexing choices. The ensemble cast, featuring Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, and Bradley Whitford, shines in their roles, infusing humor and depth into their characters. The blend of archetypal and subversive characterizations adds complexity and intrigue to the story.
On the positive side, the film's initial appearance as a standard horror movie is well-executed, drawing us into the seemingly typical story of friends on a remote cabin retreat. However, as it progresses, the narrative takes an unexpected turn, exploring the mechanics of horror storytelling. This unique approach offers a fresh perspective, challenging genre norms.
However, "Cabin in the Woods" is not without its drawbacks. Some may find the plot overly convoluted, with the constant twists potentially leading to confusion rather than engagement. The film teeters on the edge of chaos, leaving a portion of the audience feeling disoriented. The balancing act between horror, and comedy, leaves some torn between admiration for its ambition and frustration with its complexity.
We would still recommend this to anyone. This is one of those films you will either like it or you won't. What was your reaction to this film? Is there anything we might have overlooked?
