A troubled pastor from northeastern West Virginia goes to a remote cabin to search the Scriptures and have it out with the devil. 

"The Cabin" (2019) is a low-budget Indie that combines the set-up of Johnny Depp’s “Secret Window” combined with elements of cabin-in-the-woods flicks, albeit don’t expect a masked slayer with a machete or Bigfoot. The filmmaking and acting are relatively proficient for a spare-change flick. The caretaker is comical and there’s some unexpected amusement in the final act. While the eventual special effects are cheesy in the manner of Syfy movies, they’re effective enough to get the point across.

The story’s a little too one-dimensional for the runtime without enough perks, but the ultimate message centering around James 4:7 is driven home and it’s a worthy theme. I liked how angels are shown to have personalities and aren’t all the same.     

The film runs 1 hour, 34 minutes, and was shot an hour’s drive south of Morgantown, West Virginia, in Belington and Buckhannon.
