See ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ in First Ever Still!
One film I’ve been extremely skeptical about is Drew Goddard’s The Cabin in the Woods, his high-concept horror slasher that got caught in the middle of MGM’s financial debacle. While the delay doesn’t concern me a bit, it was the top secret script that I had read during filming. While I refuse to reveal a single bit of information, I will say this: everything depends on Goddard’s vision, his imagination, his ability to turn a super bizarre screenplay into a believable reality. Word on the street out of the film markets (Berlin and Cannes) is that the movie delivers quite a punch, and Lionsgate has to be happy that Thor‘s Chris Hemsworth is the lead. I hope we see this sooner than later…
ANYWAYS, Bloody Disgusting reader ‘Lichtbringer’ was kind enough to drop the first ever image in our lap. It features Hemsworth and company investigating something in said “cabin”. I can only assume it’s a stack of beer cans or a dirty condom, what else would be on the floor after a big time party?
Much like Cloverfield, which Goddard scripted, the Cabin story line provides a new twist on a classic scenario — in this case the young-people-stranded-in-the-woods horror trope.
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
