Director : Drew Goddard
Running Time : 92 mins
Five teenage friends decide to spend the weekend away in a remote cabin in the woods, but it’s not as remote as they think as there is a wide array of surveillance equipment set up in the rooms to spy on the kids. Those spying place bets on what demonic creatures the teens will accidentally summon from the relics they keep in the cellar, and when they find a weird diary one of them reads from it out loud and brings forth a horde of killer zombies.
This is such a clever idea – taking all the annoying stereotypes that have arisen over the years in horror films and making it into a lucky dip. The characters have been drugged to act like the kind of characters all horror films have, which covers the unoriginal character aspect of the movie, and the last half hour really pays off with the multiple movie monsters going on the rampage. The option for multiple sequels is endless, which is why I hope there isn’t one. As a stand-alone movie this is awesome, but it would lose its originality if it became a franchise.
