Cabin in the Woods

Cabin in the Woods starts off as the typical scary movie in which college students go away for a mini vacation in the middle of no where.  Watching this movie, the immediate reaction is that they are all going to get intoxicated, party too hard, and die.  But the plot is completely different and refreshing.  Having the cabin controlled by other humans shows how people's morals and principles can be so twisted when it comes to saving themselves.  The workers who are behind it all have almost no emotions or regrets when coming to kill these innocent people, in fact they enjoy it so much that bets are placed.  When America is in competition, these Americans are portrayed as the very monsters themselves, purposely releasing monsters and traps just for the pleasure of seeing innocent people die.  Being the top country is their number one priority, even if it meant killing people.  Although it was an act of sacrifice, the people behind it knew it was not right yet they went ahead with the plan to save themselves.  When people are put in a situation where their lives are in danger, they are willing to do anything to help themselves.
