So my latest venture to the cinema was a highly unsuccessful one. Not only did I not choose to see The Avengers, but I chose to see Cabin in the Woods. Okay, enough joking around. This is no laughing matter, seriously.
After seeing the trailer for Cabin in the Woods, I was one hundred percent sure that the film was made for me. I am a thrill seeker at heart, always waiting for that latest horror to be made that is actually good. However, the last few years have been very disappointing. When a horror is released, it is either a cheesy teen 'horror' or it's one of those paranormal let-downs - Cabin in the Woods was unfortunately both of these things, I previously didn't know this was possible.
If I could describe the film in two words, to put it bluntly, I would call it absolute crap. Usually, I would ask you, my readers, to go and see for yourself, as I am often very critical of the horror genre. However, this time, I will genuinely say, please don't waste your time or money.
Here is my warning, don't be fooled by the amazing trailer, it is most certainly not as good as it makes out. I must say I was highly unimpressed. Starting off with your stereotypical teens going on a road trip to stay in a cabin in the woods, the film looked slightly positive. Yet, as the film went on and the CGI got increasingly worse, I simply gave up.
So if you fancy a trip to the cinema this month, make it worth it by seeing a film which doesn't seem to be made by a twelve year old.
3/10
