The first half of the film makes people want to vomit blood: five handsome young men and beauties go to a cabin in the woods for vacation, they encounter various zombies with twisted limbs, and when they are killed, all kinds of blood (although there is no suspense), I thought they would turn around in the end The sledgehammer of the whole situation turned out to be a dead end for nothing; Xiao Hei, although he outlived him by a few minutes, died meaningless. What surprises me the most is that the heroine is actually the person with the least outstanding character in this film, but she is the hardest to die: she was thrown to death by a zombie, bitten by a grizzly bear all over her blood, and was frightened by all kinds of things, but she was strong. survive. I remember one of the two behind-the-scenes supervisors in the film said: "She (referring to the heroine) has such a strong desire to survive, I kind of hope she survives." Her desire to survive is within the normal range, let's just ask Which one of her companions didn't desperately want to escape from that house alive? I think it was the protection and luck of her companions that allowed her to live to the end.

Fortunately, there is a question that runs through the whole film like a clue from the beginning to the end: Who is the ultimate boss behind the scenes? The few people in white coats that appeared from the beginning of the film, why did they exterminate these five people? If there is no such question, I believe that more than half of the audience will abandon the film in the middle (as I am). After all, everyone has seen a lot of horror films in the youth series, and this film is not very new.

So, when the film progressed to that scene, when countless classic ghosts and monsters in Eastern and Western horror films appeared in one glass display case after another, I couldn’t help feeling excited and excited, and when the heroine pressed the red button When I was desperate, I danced and shouted: TM finally got to the point! Everyone held their breath, waiting for the elevator to reach the "ding" sound, batches of ghosts were released, and then the whole picture was a bloody red light, I am not a fan of bloody horror movies, just watching When the subtitles line by line suggested which classic movie these ghosts were from, I really had to be hooked. Never before has a movie collected and presented so many ghosts' carnival~! (How perverted I am...>_<...)

To really investigate it, the film is still a bit far-fetched. However, for a horror film, my requirement is that as long as it can roughly justify itself, it can also present one or two level highlights to the audience. A flawless plot is the task of detective novels and suspense blockbusters.

The Cabin in the Woods quotes

  • Marty: Statistical fact. Cops will never pull over a man with a huge bong in his car. Why? They fear this man. They know he sees further than they... and he will bind them... with ancient logics.

  • Sitterson: All right, Last chance. It's post time. Dig deep, people. Betting windows are closing.

    Hadley: Okay, who's still out?

    Sitterson: Uh... well, let's see. We've got Engineering, we got R&D, and we got Electrical.

    Hadley: [laughs] Did you see who they picked? They're practically giving their money away.
