The movie, directed by the firstling director Drew Goddard is a cliche compilation.
While watching the movie you can see topic from almost every other horror movie, until the moment: monsters, conspirations, zombies... Some are even specific wink to other movies, such as The Shining or Hellraiser.
Even the protagonist are the usual protagonists for such movies: the stupid blonde, the nice looking and intelligent football player and so on.
I usually don't like the movies where cliches appear so clearly, but in this movie it is the main point. And because everything is appearing, you never know which one will be the next one. That makes it interesting.
I was in the beginning reluctant to watch this movie, but it was not the disappointment I expected it to be. I wouldn't say the movie is good, but I think is a movie to bee seen twice, in case you missed some winck. You have to be careful to see all the details, since there are so many.
I would rate it as an average horror movie in the whole scale, and a good one in recent horror movies for young people.
