Definitely worth the exorbitant price of a theatre ticket

I’ve always been into horror stories. I own at least 30 Stephen King novels and I spent my days as a youngster reading ghost story anthologies. That being said, I hate feeling scared. I can drive myself into pure panic just by walking past a bush in the dark. Such is why I usually refuse to see horror films in the theatre. One of the last horror films I saw in the theatre was Saw and I got so much anxiety that I vomited (joy).

I can enjoy a horror film though if there is a lightness to it at points (such was the case with Resident Evil 2, that was just silliness). That’s the reason why I loved Cabin in the Woods so much. I agreed to see it because it’s Joss Whedon and it was promising a fantastic story but when I first sat down in the theatre I could feel the anxiety building. 

The opening scene quelled any anxiety I had and I was left laughing out loud. This happened many times through the film but with appropriate instances of terror as well (and if you’re squeamish, just cover your eyes like I did). Joss Whedon proves again how awesome he is. Cabin in the Woods has an amazing story for horror lovers and is a truly memorable film (worthy of my $12.50).

I’d recommend this to anyone who would like to see a great horror story but can scare themselves shitless walking near bushes.
