Director Drew Goddard's 2011 horror/comedy The Cabin in the Woods offered audiences a satirical, self-referential, and tongue-in-cheek take on the standard tropes of the horror genre. Playing on the blended lines between horror and dark comedy, the film -- written by Goddard và Joss Whedon -- presented a fairly run-of-the-mill story punctuated by self-aware send-ups of its own plot and genre. Despite its satirical bent, or perhaps because of it, it has in subsequent years become one of the most memorable horror films of the decade.
The plot of the film, on the surface level, is just about as predictable as any horror movie gets: Five college students fitting the standard horror-film character roles set out in a camper lớn spend the weekend in a creepy cabin in the woods, blissfully unaware of all the sinister signs that something terrible is about khổng lồ happen. Gory & terrifying murders of the monstrous và supernatural varieties ensue. Even the name of the film itself is arguably a reference khổng lồ the cookie-cutter nature of the horror tropes it is satirizing, as any of the dozens of such films taking place in a cabin in the woods are brought to lớn mind by the title.
Turns out, the generic setup of the plot of the film is part of the satire itself, and the closer you look, the more things appear not quite what they seem at first glance. The “dumb jock” character has a perfect GPA, the “virgin” is not a virgin, and the “fool” eventually outwits the schemes at play conspiring toward his death. The stupid decisions horror characters typically make, lượt thích splitting up at the first sign of danger, don't occur naturally here, but instead are forced on Cabin's characters by the machinations of an organization based out of a massive underground facility that is manipulating the strings backstage. The ensuing narrative, which closely follows pre-set formulas of the horror genre, plays itself out to a T, hitting the expected points along the way.
Until, suddenly, it doesn’t.
'The Cabin in the Woods' Switches Gears When the Story Moves Underground
The film's formulaic storytelling is suddenly subverted right at the moment when it seems lớn reach its typical conclusion. When one of the members of the film's resurrected zombie family is finishing off the last of the campers và the workers at the underground facility are celebrating their success, the plot is suddenly turned on its head, leading towards a different climax nobody saw coming. The film's sharp satirical edge takes center stage as the real climax of the story begins.
As Dana (Kristen Connolly) is being slowly beaten lớn death by her undead assailant, the facility workers are thrown into turmoil as they realize that one of the other campers is still alive, botching the as-yet-unexplained ritual the organization was attempting to lớn complete. Marty (Fran Kranz), who previously had been dragged off & presumably murdered in the woods, suddenly returns and saves Dana, short-circuiting the "horror-movie ending" ending that had been carefully orchestrated from behind the scenes. Marty has discovered the entrance to the elevators used khổng lồ transport the horror monsters up khổng lồ the cabin, và he & Dana take the lift down khổng lồ the unknown depths of the structure below.
It is at this point that the satire of the plot becomes extremely apparent. The first thing Dana & Marty come across is a menagerie of all of the possible creatures that could have been unleashed on them, from ghosts và zombies khổng lồ the Sugar Plum Fairy. While it suits the typical jump-scare convention of horror movies, it also serves as part of the commentary on horror films that has been present throughout the movie: the different monsters were really just interchangeable. Plug in any of them khổng lồ the plot, và you would get essentially the same result.
When Dana & Marty leave the elevator, they are eventually surrounded and cut off by the building security inside some sort of guard station. The organization, in panic mode, desperately tries lớn kill them both while also making sure that Marty dies first so that they don’t mess up the ritual. From inside the guard station, Dana presses the “system purge” button. This unleashes the horror movie creatures from their confinement và sets them loose in the interior of the facility itself, creating probably the best darkly comedic moment of the entire film.
'The Cabin in the Woods' Beomes a Horror Movie About Horror Movies
As chaos ensues và various workers are ironically dispatched by the monsters they wanted to lớn see attack the campers, Dana & Marty work their way down into the heart of the building until they find themselves in some sort of ancient stone temple. It is here that the shady machinations of the organization finally come into focus in yet another satirical turn for the film. Sigourney Weaver appears, in the role simply credited as "The Director." (Within the context of the story, she's the director of the organization, but thematically she's standing in for all horror film directors.)
She explains that everything that had happened to lớn them và their friends had been part of an elaborate “ritual” of sacrifice lớn appease a phối of ancient evil gods. Her explanation of this “ritual” is a thinly disguised commentary on the paint-by-numbers plot reenacted by countless horror films, including The Cabin in the Woods itself. The organization assembled the typical assortment of horror movie character tropes needed for their ritual -- the Whore, the Scholar, the Athlete, the Fool, & the Virgin. As the Director helpfully explains, the Whore must die first & the Virgin last, though that final death is optional. The others can die in whatever order is convenient. This apparently is a sufficient sacrifice to lớn keep the ancient gods from waking up & destroying the world. The entire plot of the film has been a set-up by the organization to reenact all the tropes and clichés that are necessary to lớn complete the ritual (as well as any standard horror movie).
Dana, then, is presented with the option of killing Marty or allowing the world lớn be wiped out, and while she dithers, she and the Director are both attacked by some of the rampaging horror movie monsters. Marty saves Dana again, & the Director plummets down to lớn the fiery depths below, as Dana and Marty decide that humanity isn’t worth saving with such a ritual. They smoke Marty’s last joint as the ground splits open and the massive hand of an angry god erupts from the ground lớn destroy the world.
Consequently, even in the final moments, after cleverly pointing out the clichés & tropes of standard horror films, the ending of the movie fulfills yet another one of them: the twist ending. Even though the protagonists manage to lớn outwit the organization, the monsters ultimately win, and humanity looks to be doomed as a result.
