I made it 41 minutes.....which I will never get back! The acting in this film, if you want to call it that, is ridiculously bad. Don't waste your time on this. It's a shame someone tried to pass this off as a "based on true events" movie. If I were a relative or family friend to the people who were killed in that cabin, I would be upset as how they portrayed them. Just don't waste your time.
I can'y believe I wasted my time With this movie. Ended up watching the Documentary. But back to this movie, the acting was horrible. There was no introduction with the characters, so it was kind all over the place. Also i felt the writer could've made the characters fight back a little stronger than what they did.
It's not much I can really say I was just mad I even wasted my time watching this movie.

The movie description says, "based on the true life murders which inspired The Strangers". I knew it would be a lower quality rip off, and it was, but I still expected better. Everything about this movie was mediocre at best. The pacing was really off, which felt like the cinematography version of an 'awkward silence'.
The characters are so dumb and pathetic that you don't even care what happens to any of them in the end, which is sad because these events actually happened. And what is going on with the Mothers accent?? Cabin 28 is empty, lazy, and neither pays tribute to, nor is a great representation to this real life tragedy.

Possibly the worst film I've ever watched. Everything about this movie was just plain awful. The acting, the writing, I struggled to make it to the end. I had some hope for this movie based on the events that inspired the movie, it could have been something great, but it wasn't. If I could give this a 0/10 I would. Do yourself a favor and never watch this movie.
"Cabin 28" is one of those movies that make the viewer regret to have spent time watching it. The story and the screenplay are lame; the acting is terrible; the cinematography and special effects are poor; in summary, this film is an awful garbage. The only thing that works is the wonderful art of the Brazilian DVD cover that lures the viewer. Advice when most needed is least heeded. Anyway, the advice is to stay away from this crap. My vote is one (awful).
