The Cabin in the Woods (2012)
The Cabin in the Woods (2012)
2012 | Comedy, Horror
Not just your average horror film
If you're expecting your run of the mill slasher/horror flick then this film won't be for you. Whilst it starts off exactly like every other cabin in the woods type film, there are a few odd bits of intrigue thrown in that make you realise it isn't just your average horror. And as far as horror goes, this isn't one for typical jump scares. In fact, this film is actually hilarious and the only real bits of horror are the copious amounts of gore and creeps towards the end. The elevator scene is by far one of my favourite scenes out of any horror, it's delightfully bonkers and horrifying.

This film is in its entirety pretty crazy and bonkers, but for the most part it doesn't matter as it does brilliantly at challenging your typical horror movie cliches and this is so fun to watch. The ending itself is possibly the only part that goes a little too far & is probably a bit too farfetched, but it is still a far more refreshing ending than what you'd get in your typical horror.

I'd love to see them make a 'choose your own' ending type game out of this film, it'd be so much fun!

Hey, I hope you don't think I ripped off your review, I literally just saw this title pop up and wrote what I came to discover was a pretty much shared love for this movies concept.

@speaker357 I wouldn't think that at all! More like great minds think alike ?

I am a huge Stephen King fan and have read most if not all of his books. So far have never been disapointed in the books being turned into movies however when a remake is made it sometimes ruins it.

Amazing
This first book in a trilogy really set off with a bang. I loved everything about it including the mystical and magical elements. Anything with Far in it I will give a try and this try was well worth it. Huge win

Funny and serious at the same time.
I've only just started reading it and so far it has opened my mind to other people's experiences of how their cultural background fits in to where they are. I will reccommend this book to anyonem

Far succeeds expectations
Venom is so badass that it proves itself worthy of a place in the Marvel Library. This is like The Dark Knight of Anti-Heroes

Does anyone else feel like having Avengers: Endgame and the final season of Game of Thrones out at the same time far too much to handle?

I dont feel like my poor heart can handle the strain of the suspense and emotion! ??

I don't watch Game of Thrones, so I'm fine ?

I’m with Lee but I don’t watch Avengers, I’m glad though as I have heard so many spoilers from kids at school. Luckily they don’t seem to watch GoT so I’m safe (:

Hi. I've recently started looking into solo games for those times when I can't get a group together. So far I've got Scythe (which I haven't got around to playing at all yet), Pumpkin Patch: Bad Seeds, and Hostage Negotiator. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the recommendations. This War Of Mine looks particularly interesting.

This War of Mine is great. Grim, but great. I played someone else's copy and couldn't stop thinking about it so had to get it.
Definitely not a game for everyone and it definitely has mature content but I think it's a game everyone should play at least once

I actually really liked it. How did the wizard get to oz who was he how did the witches become who they were great cast, nice story that doesn't try to stay to far from the book and movie material that come after
