If Friday the 13th hit the spot, these will too

Marcus Nispel directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: None of the tension Friday the 13th is built on

One thread runs through both: slasher

Both keep coming back to the same thing: slasher
The difference: Reviewed even better


Both land dread and unease at once

Both are built on the same subject: cabin in the woods

Both lean on tension more than on horror

Dread-soaked thriller in both cases

Horror with a pulse of unease, in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to mystery than Friday the 13th does

Thriller built on tension, twice over
