We’re going to move away from the direct “lost in a remote area” comparisons here and give you a fresh film to watch that you may not have seen. The Thing is available to rent on multiple platforms including Prime Video, and it’s streaming on Peacock. Stick with the original, though the 2011 remake isn’t worth your time or energy. There’s a ton of satisfying tension on tap here, with multidimensional characters who are - in some cases, quite literally - not who they seem. Most horror fans won’t require an introduction to this seminal ‘80s body-horror gem, so we’ll dispense with spoiler-y plot points. Take the feeling of isolated desperation and the trust-averse characters from The Quarry and drop them into an arctic research base plagued by a shape-shifting monster and you’ve got John Carpenter’s The Thing. Without giving away this film’s truly excellent premise, we will say that Cabin in the Woods is sort of a video game unto itself, with cartoonish tropes and even some sci-fi elements, making it an impressively unique horror comedy that’s worth a watch.Ĭabin in the Woods is available to rent on multiple platforms including Google Play. But the villains here may not be as supernatural as they seem. Sure, it follows the Evil Dead footprint of luring a group of teens to the woods to get wasted and then … get wasted.
The title alone basically describes a number of scenes from The Quarry, but Cabin in the Woods is nothing like it appears on the surface.
While The Quarry lets you choose your own path, Cabin Fever has you watching as characters push their respective moral compasses to the limits navigating a bloody, debilitating illness in the woods.Ĭabin Fever is available to rent on multiple platforms including Apple TV, and it’s streaming on Hulu. Obviously, the setting at play here is directly comparable to The Quarry, but so is the move to explore moral absolutes. To be fair, Roth’s 2002 film Cabin Fever isn’t quite as gory as efforts like Hostel, and in fact, the film ends up portraying a much more complicated interplay between characters quarantined in a cabin. Heralding in the “torture porn” genre, Eli Roth is a visionary in his own right - even if his medium is blood and carnage. The Evil Dead is available to rent on multiple platforms including Prime Video. If you prefer a more polished approach to this classic horror story, go for the actually pretty great 2013 remake, which features modern production and a freshly disgusting take on gore. It also doesn’t hurt that Raimi’s brother Ted is an actor in both Dead and Quarry.
You just can’t get away from the campy, gory choices by Sam Raimi and how they influenced some of the kills and setting in The Quarry. But perhaps more relevant is just how influential The Evil Dead is to horror as a genre. First, the obvious: A group of teens heads to a remote cabin and supernatural forces make them their prey. Sam Raimi’s quintessential campy gore fest The Evil Dead is a great tonal follow-up for a few reasons. Sleepaway Camp is available to rent on multiple platforms including Apple TV, and it’s streaming on Peacock. Players of The Quarry will love this feeling of “did he say the right thing or not?” dread.

The main protagonist is a young girl with a traumatic past who doesn’t even speak for nearly a third of the film and harbors shocking secrets - making this movie distressing from an interpersonal standpoint. What’s perhaps more potent in comparison is that Sleepaway Camp relies almost entirely on the interactions between campers to build suspense and dread. The setting and subject matter are obvious stand-ins here: The film sees a group of disparate campers, counselors, and staff being hunted by a first-person assailant in a brutal-but-campy film that’s amassed a sizable cult following in recent years. The obvious corollary for The Quarry is the oddball 1983 mystery-slasher film Sleepaway Camp.
