Index Of The Cabin In The Woods |work| «TESTED • ANTHOLOGY»
The Cabin in the Woods also explores the performative nature of horror, where characters' actions are influenced by their understanding of horror movie conventions. The students, aware of the tropes and expectations associated with their situation, begin to perform their roles accordingly. This blurs the line between reality and fiction, as the characters' actions become a form of meta-performance, aware of the horror movie genre's conventions.
Represented by Hadley and Sitterson (played brilliantly by Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins), the technicians are the most terrifying aspect of the film. They are bored office workers, betting on outcomes and celebrating deaths with high-fives. index of the cabin in the woods
