The Cabin in the Woods (2011) is a movie that I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of friends that decide to rent a cabin in the woods for a getaway. Little do they know the cabin is run by a government organization that has different plans for them other than "fun."
This movie is directed by Drew Goddard (Bad Times at the El Royale) in his directorial debut and stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Kristen Connolly (The Happening), Jesse Williams (Brooklyn's Finest), Richard Jenkins (Step Brothers), Bradley Whitford (Get Out) and Tim DeZarn (Fight Club).
This movie has a really good cast that's pretty impressive. I was impressed at how creative this movie is from a storyline and an execution stand point. This was smart in how it's not a standard "cabin in the woods" plot. I adore the horror elements in this every time. The sickest part of the movie has to be the truth or dare/deer sequence. 😂 Although, I will give the movie credit for a great use of a bear trap, the RV kill and the entire ending is fun (maybe a little too heavy on the CGI at times, but still fun).
Overall, this is a creative and well done addition to the horror genre that's absolutely worth a watch - One of the rare Hollywood big budget ($30 million) horror films worth your time. I would score this a strong 8-8.5/10 and consider it a must see.
