31 Days of Horror: Scare Season

Unfortunately I was not able to start my 31 Days of Horror on time this year as I have been busy prepping for the season by vacationing in the most frightening place in the United States, a place where you're surrounded by deserted areas where no one can hear you scream, the inspiration of countless horror stories (never mind that they were all written by the same person)... Maine. Other than being terrified by unidentifiable woodland noises, I also was able to watch one horror movie: Cabin in the Woods, which is one of the better horror movies of last year. 

Summary: A group of college students vacation in a creepy old cabin in the woods... sound familiar? Well it is, but for a reason you'd never imagine. You spend most of the movie trying to figure out what's going on and I mean that in the best way possible. There is a great mix of humor, cliches and gore to keep the viewer entertained. Not the creepiest movie, certainly not the best horror movie ever made, but overall an entertaining film. The film owes a great debt to Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford for making an unbelievable plot fairly plausible.
