Cabin in the Woods (8)
The movie Cabin in the Woods involved notions of magical realism, in which many mythological creatures are seen in the "real" world as normal beings. The plot line of the movie involves five students that are suppose to get sacrifice to the "Ancient Ones" by being killed by these supernatural beings, in this case, it was zombies. Once again, this story had questioned the idea of humanity. It is seen that the government is in charge of killing innocent humans in order to save humanity, but is this really a humane thing to do? If humans are merely killing innocent people to preserve humanity then maybe it has already been lost. In fact, in the movie, Marty even states that maybe humanity should be lost if the only way to save it is to continue murdering people. I believe the film causes the audience to question the lengths we will go to in order to obtain what we believe is humanity.
