Cabin in the Woods: Monsters

In Cabin in the Woods we see a large variety of monsters contained in their glass prisons. Many of which are obviously supernatural and their presence preys on our more outlandish fears. These creatures include Fornicus Lord of bondage and pain, the Sugarplum Fairy, the Angry Molesting Tree, and other such obviously supernatural and mythological creatures. This movie, however, excels as a motion picture as it also includes horrors from all portions of the uncanny-supernatural spectrum. There is the clown who, at first,  seems to be a human murderer in a costume but later proves impervious to bullets. There is also the alien beast which is perceived as a real possible threat by many people. Then there are 'monsters' who seem to be nothing more than dangerous humans such as the Dolls and the Huron. By utilizing all areas of the spectrum to frighten the audience the motion picture fully captures all fears and the full attention of those watching and provides for a better movie.
