Storia
A group of five teenagers - Dana, Marty, Jules, Curt, and Hadley - go on a weekend trip to an isolated cabin in the woods. Upon arrival, they discover that their cellar door has mysteriously opened. Inside, they find peculiar artifacts and books, one of which Dana reads aloud from, unintentionally awakening a family of zombie killers. However, this event is not as random as it seems; unbeknownst to them, the teenagers are part of an elaborate ritual orchestrated by technicians at a secret facility miles away, who manipulate their actions using various methods such as drugs and holographic illusions. The group members start dying one by one in stereotypical horror movie ways, until Curt escapes from the cabin with Dana and Jules. They discover that the facility is behind everything and try to stop it by destroying the machine that controls the ritual. Meanwhile, the remaining facility technicians argue over what 'final girl' to use for the ultimate sacrifice, as the zombies close in.
Riassunto
Directed by Drew Goddard from a script co-written with Joss Whedon, 'Cabin in the Woods' is a meta-horror film that deconstructs and pays homage to classic horror movie tropes. Set within a larger conspiracy involving a secret facility manipulating teenagers into acting out horror movie stereotypes for an ancient sacrifice ritual, the film balances humor and horror while commenting on the conventions of the horror genre.
