Cabin in the Woods

Before this movie gets too old I want to comment on it(spoilers ahead). There was a lot of hype surrounding this movie when it was first released. "A modern horror masterpiece," they were saying. Unfortunately that's just not true. I don't know if it was the product of the hype that surrounded this movie, but I thought it was an average horror movie (above average for recent horror movies)at best. It didn't do much for me. Sure it was kinda funny and had its moments, but when the giant hand comes out of the ground, that was pretty lame. And having Sigourney Weaver as the "director" is extremely contrive and has been done to death. Yes, we get it shes a horror icon, yes she's so cool, no you don't have to have her in every horror movie in order to make said movie relevant. Don't get me wrong the some scenes were cool, mostly the scenes with the two directors, and the climax where all the monsters are unleashed, that was awesome. But it wasn't anything amazing.
