The Cabin in the Woods

Ok, I’m going to try and tell you about the Cabin in the Woods without any spoilers! Basically there is a cabin… and… it’s in the woods. If I tell you any more I could ruin it for you, so I won’t.

I will tell you however that this is the most important film to happen to the horror genre since Scream. This will forever change how you view horror films and how you remember horror films you’ve seen before. Now I’m not talking about the unnecessarily grotesque movies like Hostel that I have very little time for, but the monster movies like Friday the 13th, the sort of films that have a set of rules that must be adhered to. Well the Cabin in the Woods not only adheres to these rules and clichés but it smashes them to pieces all in the same action. Watch this film it is simply fantastic!

Film 309/365, Day 331/365 – Thor

Good action, plenty of humour and the best super hero, Thor.  It was a great taster of things to come, bring on Thor 2 and The Avengers, which ultimately that is what it is.  Here’s Thor, here’s how he got to where he is and this is what he can do.  Admittedly it’s not the best story but should give them plenty to build on going forward.

Synopsis:  Thor, the god of thunder, is cast out of Asgard for starting a war with the ice realm and sent to Earth to live as a mortal.  Whilst he is gone Loki sets about taking control of Asgard and is determined to make sure that Thor doesn’t come back.
