Have you ever wanted to take a walk through "Cabin In The Woods" ??

The Cabin In The Woods was one of those films that took me a bit to actually realize how damn smart the film itself actually is. With my first watch, I actually felt kind of bored with it; not truly understanding it. However, after re-watching it and actually watching certain cues, and things characters did, I felt that the film was actually a lot smarter than it let on; hinting at older horror films, classic situations with classic typecast characters [such as the hot babe, the stoner, the jock, etc]. What I also liked about The Cabin In The Woods was the fact that the 'monster', wasn't technically one big evil thing but in fact; a big collaboration of  different monsters [and in most cases- the 'monsters' were actually the people around them]. 

 

 [writer's note; in case you haven't seen the film, I can assure you- this is "the stoner", not the "hot babe". Your welcome, internet..]

But the real question here is would you ever want to experience what the people in The Cabin In The Woods did? What would you do in that situation? Well, thanks to Universal Orlando and their Halloween Horror Nights, you can actually test your luck! Although creating an amusement park ride on a blockbuster film is nothing we haven't seen before, horror movies [especially bloody/gory films like 'Cabin In The Woods'] are usually not the first choice on their minds [Although fun fact: in Thorpe Park, UK; there is actually a roller coaster which is called "SAW- THE RIDE" see picture below for details.] when it comes to these kinds of attractions, & this time around, they’ll be showing us their newest attraction with a what they call a 'face-to-face experience with The Cabin In The Woods.' 

 

[Here's that Screenshot of SAW- THE RIDE in Thorpe Park, UK. According to their official site; 'Riders will be fired through a gauntlet of twisted metal then dragged up 100ft before being dropped through sharp rotating blades.']

However, let's get back to what we're really talking about on this post, and save SAW- THE RIDE for another day. Employees of Universal Orlando mentioned the following about their new attraction: 

 "..we are building the cabin completely. You’re going to walk through a forest to get there. You’re going into the cabin. You’re going to go into the cube cells. We’re literally taking everything we can in the film and giving you a kind of best-of montage of the film with this kind of linking story. You’re going to be in the control room when merman attacks."  

 Sadly, they also mentioned that it WILL NOT be a permanent addition to the park, despite all the trouble they’re going through to set it up, put it together and get it ready for the horror fans. It’s only around for their famous Halloween Horror Nights, which therefore means that it's only around from September 20th to November 2nd 2013 to actually be a part of this awesome sounding attraction. [which kind of sucks, considering I'm in Canada; plus I feel work wouldn't appreciate hearing I'm leaving for a week for a ride..]

 

So what do you think about a horror themed attraction ride? and what were your thoughts on The Cabin In The Woods- the film itself? [am I really the only one who thought it was  a weird movie at first?] Just be sure to 'like' the fan page for Firework Eyes & Haunted Hearts on Facebook; which you can find here, or even follow me on Twitter. [visit my profile here] If you have a Tumblr, be sure to follow me here or my more horror explicit Tumblr here [please be aware, that my second Tumblr page has inappropriate content for readers/viewers under 18] Have a suggestion for a new post/movie review? Send me your ideas and/or links anywhere mentioned above. Until my next post though, CHEERS.

Well..this feels awkward;

Does anyone remember the SAW films? Let me try to refresh your memory:

Of course you remember them ! -SAW is that series of movies that actually were in the Guinness World Book of Records for being the most successful horror movie series of all time, making over $73O million worldwide.. Now on to what I was getting to- it seems that Lionsgate plans [it's only an idea- nothing too official just yet] on rebooting the SAW movies; even with part7 being dubbed 'The Final Chapter'. Whether or not it's an actual reboot or just another sequel, is yet to be known.. as Lionsgate's official website actually says that a part8 is also very possible. So either way, horror fans can expect a new SAW movie sometime in the near future; As for me- I hope they don't touch the SAW movies, and keep them where they ended with SAW7. Although I'm a HUGE fan of the series [I own all 7 movies, plus the 2 Xbox360 games], I feel that they finished well enough with SAW7.. [even if we did have to learn some things through the commentary] I feel that the series as a whole was executed in such a way, that it wouldn't have to be redone.. In truth, I'm actually not entirely sure if I'm up for this reboot/remake/sequel whatever the hell you want me to call it. It just feels way too early to be doing such a thing. I'm getting tired of Hollywood remaking/rebooting movies that I actually grow fond of. [I'm sure I'm not the only one..] At this rate though, being at 'an infant stage', anything could happen for this series; reboot or new sequel [part8, anyone?].. What do you think? Are you up for yet another SAW movie; even if it is a reboot?
