Director - Drew Goddard
Being a teenage horror flick ,you cant really expect much good
performances ,but the cast of Cabin ITW are really awesome.Each and
everyone are likeable and this makes the whole experience of watching
the movie more engaging.No one overshadows the other ,but i really liked
Fran Kranz,who played the stoner Marty.
Story,its really
awesome.While the movie might seem so obvious when watching its trailer
or a synopsis ,you really have no idea where the story is leading you
into.Its the type that makes you keep wondering 'whats going on' for
majority of the movie ,and judging from the way it unfolds ,its just top
notch writing.The story brings new life into this genre of
horror/slasher movies.You might think you know ,but you dont.
Another plus point are the well developed characters.Although they play
out to be cliched characters from horror movies ,they manage to connect
with the audience.
Drew Goddard ,does an amazing job.Blending
comedy into a horror movie is a tough task ,which Drew has successfully
accomplished.On top of that ,the movie is a fresh new concept that never
dulls at any moment.The pace of the movie is even,and considering the
amount & extend of story thats been put in ,the movie never feels
stretched.
Overall,dont keep this movie aside just because you
think its just another slasher/cliched horror movie ,because its
certainly not.Its a decent blend of horror-comedy with an excellent
story.Must Watch!
