12 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN!
DAY 2
Plot: Five college students go to a remote cabin only to be terrorized by forces out of their control...but in control by something totally unexpected.
Favorite part: When all hell breaks loose in the labyrinth of horrors underneath the cabin. Also, when Josh from The West Wing (above right) finally gets his wish and sees a merman.
Least favorite part: The story set up with the college students was necessary, but still a trifle slow.
Scariest part: When we learn that a well armed and trained SWAT team is no match for a motivated group of unleashed monsters.
Best screaming: The screams when the zombie redneck torture family first attack are pretty good. But the first scream is usually the best in these films.

Additional casting note: I didn't even recognize that the guy who played one of the students went on to later play Thor until after I watched the whole movie. I guess a lot of people don't recognize me either when I'm not wearing my Thor outfit.
This movie was such a surprise. It's so much fun--it's one of the rare movies I bought on Blu-Ray because I wanted to see it in the best possible way.
ReplyDeleteThis is go-to horror for me.
"He had the conch in his hands!"
The concept is so bizarre, but they manage to pull it off. Definitely put some new life in an rapidly aging genre.
ReplyDeleteLove this film - it's so creative.
