COM 7 A06

I like how the greatest clarity comes from the character whose mentality is supposed to be distorted by his constant intake of weed. Although this is a remake of a much older version, the idea is the same: a group of young adults take an isolated cabin in the woods thinking that it would be a great place for a vacation away from their normal lives. the scary aspect of this movie comes from the notion that no matter what these characters do, they are trapped and bound to the terrors of the cabin. the feeling of imminent doom seems to prevail throughout this film. i think the only bright side is that the zombies here do not infect the living, unlike the previous zombie stories we have read/watched. What is equally terrifying is that the horror implemented onto these vacationers are controlled by other human beings like themselves. the twisted reality of the situation is disturbing because there seems to be a whole business community, as well as customers, who find entertainment in seeing their greatest fears attacking people they dont even know. the way there are multiple scenarios set up for the vacationers is ultimately demented in that there seems to be a way to make a fear out of anything that is supposed to be relatively normal, like a merman.
