The Cabin In the Woods


The Cabin In the Woods directly addresses the ruthlessness of humanity and the lengths that we will go to ensure our survival. The film presents seemingly innocent young adults in search of a good time. The most twisted aspect of the film is that the group is unconsciously a part of a murderous experiment directed by a group of powerful scientists. Upon their arrival, the group initiates the revival of a family of zombies, and according to the scientists, their fate of death is deserved because of their conscious choice to enter the situation. The justification for the actions of the scientists is completely irrational. I was thoroughly disturbed by the presentation of humanity in this film, for it is strongly suggested that humanity would not hesitate to sacrifice its own kind in order to ensure its survival. Though the conclusion of the film has not been unveiled, I can only imagine that it will only to continue to make harsh criticisms regarding humanity.
