Things I thought I'd never see on the big screen...

I never thought I'd see a Unicorn, stab a man through the gut with it's horn and kill him.


That's right, a Unicorn like this.  Mythical creature, popular in the Middle Ages, symbol of purity and grace, supposed only able to be captured by a virgin.

Not only that, but I never, ever, thought I'd see it during the film Cabin in the Woods.  About 20 minutes in and you're scared that this highly anticipated film is going to be just another teen slasher flick.

Boy, would you be dead wrong.

I was deeply impressed by the creativity, ingenuity and humour of the film.  If you haven't seen it yet, go, now.  I mean, RIGHT NOW.

I recently read an article on the BBC website, saying that the trailers for the film gave too much away; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16972394 and whilst I agree it gives away a little, there is no way it 'spoils' the film.

I really enjoyed the film, and will talk about it more at length later.  But for now I don't want to give away any more details until you've had plenty of time to see it.

Until then, enjoy.
