10 Best Cabin In The Woods Horror Movies
6. The Ritual
Who doesn't love a good folk horror flick?
After the murder of one of their close friends, four men head into the Swedish wilderness to honor his memory. The four eventually find themselves lost and at the mercy of something sinister within the woods. As tensions grow and days turn to nights, their innocent adventure transforms into a fight for survival.
The plot of The Ritual doesn't necessarily revolve around a cabin in the woods nearly as much as the other entries on this list. However, the two cabins we do see play significant roles in the film. Both of them provide a sense of otherworldly malice to the overall tone of the narrative. They feel like traps set by the forest itself, almost as a way to lure unsuspecting hikers to a very grim doom.
Where The Ritual really succeeds is in its monsters. The third-act introduces a creature that, if there is any justice in the world, will go down in the lexicon of great horror monsters designs. On top of that, the way the monster is used to tie in with the theme of trauma is brilliant.
Do not sleep on this one.
