Best Picture:
Cabin In The Woods
The Loved Ones
Detention
Sinister
John Dies At The End
…and the Igor goes to:
Cabin In The Woods
Haters needn’t start their preaching here, because Cabin In The Woods deserves this Igor 100%. Get out of town with your arguments detailing how this isn’t a horror movie. Monsters, murderers, blood, guts, apocalyptic scenarios, sexy coeds, alcohol, bad decisions, A FREAKIN’ CABIN IN THE WOODS. I (Nato) was nice about it while writing our other 2012 horror articles, letting the trolls have their fun, but enough is enough. Just because something isn’t necessarily “scary” doesn’t mean it isn’t horror. Look at some of the more classic genre movies in history like Re-Animator or Evil Dead II. Can you argue those two aren’t 100% “scary?” Absolutely. Am I saying Cabin In The Woods is the next Evil Dead II? No, well, maybe, I don’t know, time will tell. But what I am saying is Cabin In The Woods ferociously dismembered every HORROR movie in the year of 2012 through a showing of alpha-male dominance, and was a surefire winner for the Best Picture Igor. No competition in the least.
Remy feels a little stronger about the argument though, stating if you don’t think Cabin In The Woods is horror, you’re a “kitten raping Nazi.” His words, not mine.
Hope you enjoyed the first annual Igor Awards! Since this is a growing project, what categories would you like to see next year if Remy and I haven’t been axed yet? Were there any snubs in this year’s selection process? Hit the comments and let us know!
