Another horror enthusiast said on : “Cabin in the Woods still absolutely rips.
“Rewatched it for probably the 11th time tonight and it’s incredible how much this movie holds up as a perfect example of a satirized slasher.
“It takes all the tropes we know and turns them upside down and includes one of the greatest finales of all time. I know this movie got a ton of critical praise, I just hope it lives on as the perfect example of horror satire.”
“Masterpiece,” another wrote. “It’s got everything I look for in a movie. It’s almost like it was made for me.”
A fourth said: “Loved this film. It is the logical heir to Scream and I think it’s even a little more clever in its deconstruction. It has become a Halloween watch for me.”
And a reviewer on the movie social media platform Letterboxd said: “Not only is this a strong contendee “Best of 2012” for me, this is, in my opinion, the perfect horror film.
“I found no problem with it. It’s fun, complex, innovative, well made, well written, well acted, exciting, thrilling, suspenseful, hilarious, brilliant, loads of fun…just amazing.”
