In The Cabin in the Woods, there is a sacrificial rites. What s unique, however, is that the rite is expressed as routine. The setting of the film is very unique, considering that the sacrificial rites comes from a special situation. This is because they treat sacrificial rites as a daily task.
To understand this, we re going to share some of the stories. It’s Jinejangteo, Baekilhong and Dongjasam. In these stories, ethical themes such as good deed, chastity and filial piety are emphasized. The motif of sacrifice is to highlight the values that people of the time considered most important. Behind the highlight of the ethical theme is the excuse for the scapegoats. It is to find justification for the violence they have committed.
The Cabin in the Woods also has an excuse for a slasher movie that has been repeated. To this end, it uses the method of Transmedia Storytelling. A similar story is said to be repeated for the purpose of sacrificial rites. Along with this excuse, there is also a satire about slasher movies. A movie that was so repeated that it s not as fun as it is now. The satire about this is what appears in The Cabin in the Woods.
