Cabin in the Woods

This movie was interesting because it is a blend of two types of fantasy: sci fi and the supernatural. However, the supernatural aspect of the film has not really been explored yet in the film, but i think this part will be explained in the last few minutes of the film. The film seems to be a reflection of what the government is willing to sacrifice for the "greater good". They do what they can to detach themselves from their cruelty to the young people they are sacrificing to some "downstairs" being, in a similar fashion to the government throwing away the lives of thousands of soldiers for a cause that the masses do not really understand, but are told is for "the best" and with the "safety of the nation" in mind. Putting this situation in an outrageous context allows this parallel to sort of slip through the viewers mind without even really being noted. The viewer simply thinks "wow how can they do such a thing to these poor people" without realizing that something very similar occurs every day in the real world. Also those zombies were scary.
