The
cabin in the woods is a satire on the horror genre, poking fun at the various
conventions that the majority of scary films adhere to. 5 teen stereotypes go
on vacation and start getting bumped off as quickly as conventions are shattered
with a cool wit. The jock has a degree and the whore is a normal girl, but
these are changed to stereotype by the minds behind events, kind of like a
horror spoofing Truman Show. Still what’s done here was done better in Wes Craven's Scream (1997) and proceedings are ruined with a final scene that shoots
the rest of the film in the foot, making the whole notion of mocking events up
like a horror flavoured big brother totally unnecessary. Watch this one for the
satire, not the horror.
