Cabin in the Woods

Cabin in the Woods puts a strange twist on other horror movies, and even though there are zombies, it is not truly a zombie film. The movie adds a new perspective to horror films; it basically shows that the type of monster or murderer is not a major factor in the story (aside from the fact that there is one), that is why Cabin in the Woods should not be classified as a zombie film. The idea that the entire ordeal is set up, monitored, and affected by an outside party adds an even stronger disturbing factor. It is similar to The Hunger Games in the fact that people are being killed for the entertainment of others; it is turned into a game and they are trying to make a better “show.” This idea that other humans are purposefully putting the characters through these terrible events shows a lack of humanity and makes it demented, rather than just horrifying.
