Review of The Cabin

The Cabin (II) (2018)
2/10
Rather amateur throughout

It makes no sense, period.

You must shut off your brain to watch this. I recommend booze, perhaps a bowl or two as well. Invite your friends, you'll need someone to talk to so that your brain cells don't atrophy too quickly.

You will constantly think to yourself, "these people are idiots." The killer is an amateur, the boyfriend passes up every conceivable chance to arm himself with literally hundreds of possible items, and just when you think the girl is going to make a good decision, she turns it into a bad one immediately. The movie's beginning and ending have no point, and are cliche, and the setting and circumstances leave you scratching your head. Why here? Why now? Why are you doing that? Why aren't any of the things that would normally happen in this sort of a situation happening?

There is music, and it is standard fare. It's the usual bangy nonsense that the director uses to explain that you should be scared here, or worried there, and oh let's fall in love for al little while before things get exciting (just kidding, there's no excitement). It's very sad because music can be truly effective, but in this film its use is generic.

It's well filmed but has absolutely zero depth and leaves you wondering.. not about the characters or situation, but about the director and writer. How could they possibly think this was going to come off as a watchable film? All in all there was no love in this movie. The audience is not compelled to feel any sort of affection for the actors, and all the facets of the movie are simply just bland. You end up really just.. not caring about anything at any time.

Good luck guys, try again sometime. This time was just not good. I'm giving it two stars instead of one because it was at least filmed well. That much I am thankful for, but honestly just pass this up guys, it has no entertainment value at all.
