10 Best Cabin In The Woods Horror Movies
1. The Evil Dead
Some may consider it sacrilegious to place the first Evil Dead above its sequel, which is understandable. However, the original takes the edge over its successor because, while it might not be the first cabin in the woods horror flick, it perfected the formula and has yet to be topped since its release.
Five friends enter into a brutal nightmare when a trip to a cabin in the woods turns into a vacation from Hell.
In the world of horror there are several, what we might call, foundation films. Flicks that, due to how iconic they are, lay the groundwork for the genre. Movies like The Exorcist, Halloween, Scream, and Alien would be examples of this. They have been the subject of inspiration for countless movies, both horror and not. Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead is one of these.
As the kids would say, it goes hard. The movie fires on all cylinders, avoiding being dated through its unrelenting, uncompromising sense of balls-to-the-wall insanity. It never stops ramping up, making for a journey that will have you catching your breath by the end of it. Hail to the king baby.
