Cabin Girl

Cabin Girl is the kind of psychological thriller that keeps you guessing, even when it stumbles. Packed with a rich story, layered characters, and just a hint of supernatural intrigue, it feels like a lovechild of Gone Girl and The Sixth Sense, with an added sprinkle of The Others for good measure. The film excels in crafting a captivating mystery-within-a-mystery, delivering red herrings like a magician pulling rabbits out of a very stylish hat.

The direction is generally strong, deftly juggling shifting tones and atmospheres, but it's not without hiccups. A few scenes drag on longer than a politician's speech, and some moments feel as heavy-handed as a hammer in a glass shop-padding out the runtime rather than enhancing the narrative.

That said, the performances are refreshingly above average. The cast injects enough gravitas to keep the tension taut, even when the pacing falters. The supernatural elements, meanwhile, are woven in with a light touch, adding an eerie charm without veering into camp.

For fans of brain-teasing mysteries with a side of atmospheric chills, Cabin Girl is well worth a watch. Just don't expect perfection-this girl stumbles occasionally, but she's got plenty of intriguing secrets to share.

You think it's gonna be a typical boring vlogging social media horror at first, but i actually twigged onto some decent acting from the lead girl early on, perfect for the role and i was impressed at how she took to it.

Although i will say the mechanic could of been better casted.

Plot was good! Background music was spot on during some scenes.

It keeps you guessing as to what's going on which keeps you watching. I won't give any spoilers but i think Cabin Girl 2 should be made, as long as the script can evolve the story and you keep the lead, make it more sinister and disturbing and you'll have a really good franchise on your hands.

I'm thinking prequel sequel to be honest.

Cabing Girl follows Van Girl, a vlogger who tracked her travels in her van after her parents die. She switches to a cabin after she has an accident involving a deet and has a resulting head injury. As she settles into life in a fixer-up cabin in an isolated rural small town. Then, weirdness starts happening.

While this film as a slower pace, and lots of sunlight that can be confusing for a typical found footage films, Cabin Girl is a slowburn that explores the main character's experience of supernatural phenomenon and symptoms of her head trauma. This makes for confusing viewing as the watcher isn't certain what is happening. Add in a potential stalker, and Cabin Girl had me guessing on my red herrings.

Easy to watch with decent performances by the actors. Plotting and script are okay but not advanced. Overall, it made for decent viewing.

Netflix movies have A list stars and 100 to 200 million dollar budgets. Tubi movies cast complete unknowns, character actors and C listers with budgets under a million dollars. Don't get me wrong, Tubi makes some real turds but they also make some above average movies like this one while Netflix continues to make dreck like Red Notice, Bright, Bird Box, etc.

This movie is well written and well directed. The lisp of the main actress was a little annoying, but other than that she was quite good, effectively portraying a woman losing her sanity. The male lead was very good and has a great onscreen presence. This movie is helped immensely by three very good character actors, Tergeson, Rispoli, and Weixler. Character actors like these deserve more praise in Hollywood.

This is a quick 80 minute watch that never bores and has a nice little twist at the end. Keep it up Tubi.

I was pleasantly surprised by this film.

Being a TubiTV Original, and all...I expected it to be far worse than it is.

It's actually quite an engaging little film.

One that's simple, yet effective.

In it, we find ourselves following a young social media influencer, who has taken up the van life.

Only to leave it behind, when she finds an affordable cabin, in a remote, rural town.

However, it turns out that the cabin has a dark past.

Which she's driven to uncover...you know...for the views.

Only to find out she's asking questions, she might not be ready to face the answers to.

To keep things interesting, they add in a bit of a twist, and some misdirection.

Which gives the film an air of mystery.

Although it's more of a supernatural thriller than it is a horror.

It's definitely worth watching.

Especially compared to a lot of the other original films that TubiTV has to offer.

Even if it is a bit basic.

3.5 out of 10.
