‘Cabin in the Woods’ Clip Gives Homage To Raimi’s ‘Evil Dead’

Published

The Cabin in the Woods

Lionsgate has released the first ever clip from Cloverfield writer Drew Goddard’s The Cabin in the Woods, which slasher into theaters Friday, April 13.

We’ve already seen the film (and loved it), which is why we can honestly understand the difficulty in marketing such a film. This is why I truly love the clip the Gate has selected to share with you guys. Below you’ll watch as the group of friends play a game of “true or dare” only to be interrupted by the cellar door blowing open. The clip shares the playful dialogue delivered by “Buffy”s Joss Whedon, while also giving homage to classic horror like Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead franchise. In short, this clip is a very honest representation of the high concept slasher.

The R-rated horror flick follows “A group of friends at a cabin retreat scratch the surface of something so massive and horrific that they can only begin to fathom it as time quickly runs out. If you think you know this story, think again. ‘Cabin in the Woods’ is a mind-blowing horror film that turns the genre inside out.

New ‘Arcadian’ Images and Poster Introduces Tense, Bloody Thrills in Nicolas Cage Creature Feature

Arcadian images Nicolas cage

Up next for Nicolas Cage is a creature feature from RLJE Films that’s titled Arcadian. RLJE debuted a bunch of new images along with a poster this morning that introduces more of the cast while teasing some of the bloody thrills ahead.

Look for Arcadian in theaters on April 12, 2024. After the film’s theatrical release, it’s coming to Shudder and AMC+ later this year.

Arcadian has been rated “R” by the MPA for “Bloody images.” Check out some of those bloody images below.

In Arcadian, which looks to take a page out of the Quiet Place playbook, “After a catastrophic event depopulates the world, a father and his two sons must survive their dystopian environment while being threatened by mysterious creatures that emerge at night.”

Jaeden Martell (IT 2017), Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) and Sadie Soverall (Fate: The Winx Saga) also star in the upcoming Arcadian alongside cinema icon Nicolas Cage.

Ben Brewer (The Trust) directed the film, written by Mike Nilon (Braven).

I reviewed Arcadian for Bloody Disgusting out of SXSW. I wrote, “Playing like a cross between a poignant coming-of-age story and intense survival horror, Arcadian does just enough to set itself apart from similar fare. However, its ultimate appeal and magic lie in the inventive monster designs and the thrilling action set pieces they inspire.”
