The Cabin in the Woods

 Straying away from the usual horror movie premise, The Cabin in the Woods is one of the most clever horror movies to date. At first, Joss Whedons 2012 horror blockbuster seems to follow the same cliche horror pattern of the group of five college students (The virgin, the slut, the stoner, the jock), who decide to take a break from their school work and stay a few nights in a cabin secluded from any type of civilization.

  What The Cabin in the Woods becomes, without spoiling too much, is a horror movie that is very aware of itself and breaks away from the usual pattern. The plot is filled with many clever twists and the comedic element adds some much needed originality to the horror genre.

 The Cabin in the Woods provides some much needed originality to the horror genre. It breaks away from the usual cliches and patterns, and instead becomes very self aware and often times comedic yet stays true to the horror films it parodies.
