Movies play with each other in a flurry of ideas – there are often scenes that you have seen more than once, but from film to film they get complicated, change the rules, the differences in each other’s mirrors increase – for example, scenes argue whether to run from a maniac or better fight with him, guard the house divided or stick together, whether a monster or a mutilated madman or your best friend will be under the mask. Such a hint of the film to past incarnations of its plot is called reminiscence. All pervasive themes, scenes of films (not only horrors, but all genres) flow from one movie to another, changing so as not to fall into our expectation, and thus dodging our guess as a predator, scenes EVOLUTION. As a result, there should be films that are alpha predators in their environment. They sum up whole genres, take all the power, all the mechanisms of their layer into circulation, launch them to full speed, squeezing out all the juice - "Cube 3" and "Exam" did it with the genre of a psychological thriller about people locked indoors, "14.08" - claustrophobic horrors, "Skyline" - with films about the arrival of aliens, "Avengers" - superhero fiction. So "The Cabin in the Woods" is a cogeneration of films about teenagers and maniac monsters in the forest, not just used all the techniques (not so much stamps as inventory), but used at full capacity, not a single detail was wasted - even the hand of the zombies in the elevator had its small role, more details, people are now not just pawns to die one at a time, they are really charismatic, interesting, their death really do not want, the joke was beautiful. This not only shows where the monsters came from and how they ended, but also who is behind it (and was behind all such films), how it works, why it is impossible otherwise and what is more important than all this. Concentrate, after which the genre can be closed, and it should be done ... but they will not do and will continue to remove thrashes on the topic, which will not get close.
