10 Things To Avoid If You Want To Survive A Slasher Movie
4. Asking Creepy Woodsmen For Directions
Most often than not, sparking a chat with the sour, grim-looking hillbilly with his cryptic warnings often found in horror of the backwoods variety is a sure path to death.
You know the ones, unsanitary and filled with an assortment of vermin, non-functioning fixtures, and rusting heaps that may have once been vehicles. For reference, see The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The Hills Have Eyes (2006), or the father of the hillbillies from the first two Wrong Turn films.
The cast of the Cabin In The Woods, encounter one such creepy fella warning them that returning back safely would be difficult, yet they venture into their doom on their own free will. Kindly enough, he also offers the same service to the men running the secret program, and just like the college students, they ignore his warning and doom themselves.
In all fairness, while we wouldn't expect anyone to pack their bags and leave when some old geezer warns them about some crazy s**t going on, some consideration might have been all that's needed to make it through another day. After all, old people usually don’t just go about warning people for no good reason, especially if they're entitled, college teenagers.
