Week 4: The New Weird

After seeing Cabin In The Woods, I do must say I was shocked by the direction the film took towards the end. My favorite scenes occurred were when they went underground and they showed all the other mystical horrors behind glass as well as attacking the creators of the horror scene.
 Cabin In The Woods is an incredible concept You have your typical college teenagers (the blonde, the jock, the stoner, the geek, and the simple girl), who didn't tell any of their relatives or friends where they were going, and who are in a cabin with no cell service. The only civilian close enough is also very far away and runs a gas station. The set up reminded me a lot of Evil Dead, I was expecting the movie to continue the trend of being a typical horror movie, but the ending made the movie far more interesting.

   After watching weird horror, we usually have our mind opened up to dangerous that are typically more frightening then what the movie maker could have ever created. It takes your normal fears and amplifies in onto a whole other level. this builds up and makes it scarier to the viewer.
    Personally, I like new weird because it is different from classic horror and its fun to watch something that is beyond the stereotypical genres.
