The Cabin in the Woods takes a very different approach to the whole concept of real, fantastic, and the supernatural that we've been discussing. Many of the events that it presents that could be interpreted as fantastic are quickly explained to be either some supernatural event, as in the case of the zombies and the other creatures underneath the cabin, or real and caused by some mechanism, such as the doors slamming shut and locking them in. I thought it was very interesting how the film presented many common horror movie themes but removed that uncertainty that characterizes the fantastic, completely changing the mood of the movie.
