The Cabin in the Woods

Product Information

I got the reasoning of the author to add DNA mystery to the equation to distinguish the entire mystery from the standard cabin in the woods plot line! The novel starts on Christmas night 2017 in Florida at a family gathering when family members find DNA (Origins) testing kits; however, no one seems to know who left the mysterious gifts under the tree—from Santa. The Cabin in the Woods was slated for wide release on February 5, 2010 (before that, it was slated for release on October 23, 2009), [12] [13] [14] and then delayed until January 14, 2011, so the film could be converted to 3D. [15] [16] However, on June 17, 2010, MGM announced that the film would be delayed indefinitely due to ongoing financial difficulties at the studio. [17] [18]

TRIGGER WARNING: There is rape, sexual and verbal abuse, voyeurism and other topics which may not be a fit for some readers. The unmissable new thriller from the USA Today bestselling master of edge-of-your-seat reading and screenwriter of Netflix Original movie, The Weekend Away. But wait, yeah, I'm not done yet. You also get the perspective of the owner of the house Mako rented. That was the oddest of them all to me, like, why?! The plot is beyond convoluted. There are too many characters, and some storylines are never resolved. There is one story in particular that I think was included to be a red herring, but it could have completely been eliminated. This is my first Lisa Unger novel, and now I understand why she’s a beloved thriller author. In “Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six”, she has dueling plots which leaves the reader wondering how this is supposed to meld. Never fear dear reader, it does in a crazy way.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three out of four stars, saying that " The Cabin in the Woods has been constructed almost as a puzzle for horror fans to solve. Which conventions are being toyed with? Which authors and films are being referred to? Is the film itself an act of criticism?" [36] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars, calling it "fiendishly funny". Travers praised Kristen Connolly and Fran Kranz for their performances, and wrote, "By turning splatter formula on its empty head, Cabin shows you can unleash a fire-breathing horror film without leaving your brain or your heart on the killing floor." [37]

Jenkins and Whitford were also admired by The A.V. Club ("Whitford and Jenkins clearly delight in the verbose script") and by Wired, whose reviewer (granting 9 of 10 stars) called Cabin "a smart sendup of horror movies and mythology...with a peculiar relish that testifies to the moviemakers' love of genre film... a smart, sarcastic and deliriously fun journey into the belly of the horror beast." He cited the "witty banter, creative twists" and "clippy, quippy dialog that lifted Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to cult status." [39] You can't go wrong with a LU book. No one can do complex, twisted, eerie, and chilling like Lisa! One of my favorite authors—I have read all her books and anxiously await the next. Get this on your TBR list now! So now, that I have read my first Lisa Unger book, was it worth it? Totally! It was a good read, perfect for the spooky season. We meet Rose and her sister, Daisy in the beginning of the book and that section grabbed my attention and heartstrings and I wanted to know what became of them. I learned, boy did I learn. Rose meets Ryan when she waits on him and they have a fairy tale romance. He is her handsome prince who has swept her off her feet. It's the classis rags to riches story - with a twist.Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times believed that the film "is an inside joke" and also said, "The laughs [in the film] come easily, the screams not so much." [46] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter remarked, "It's just too bad the movie is never much more than a hollow exercise in self-reflexive cleverness that's not nearly as ingenious as it seems to think."

There are many POV’s in this, which is a bit daunting. Adding to confusion are the characters who don’t seem to mesh with the main narrative of the luxury vacation for a group of friends. Plus, the prologue included a tense Christmas dinner involving the mysterious gift of DNA tests. No one claimed to be the gifts’ provider. So Ms. Unger plants the idea of some sort of DNA connection. Leonard and his companions—Sabrina, Adriane, and Redmond—claim that they have no intention of harming the family. However, in the past week, they have been driven by visions to find the family. They foresee an impending apocalypse in which oceans will rise, a pandemic will spread, and the sky will fall. The only way to prevent this is for the family to sacrifice one of their own. If they do not make a choice, they will be the last people standing.
