Poor Hadley. As one of the most relatable plights in the entire movie, the story of Hadley and his Merman dreams and desires is just as compelling as the main arc in Cabin. The Merman is one of the only monsters Hadley has never seen; is it too much to ask for a little variety in our horror monster summoning job? It raises a lot of larger questions, like why don't they ever make more Merman horror movies, or why don't those damn kids ever blow into the conch?! Imagine being Hadley, and seeing Curt pick up the conch, pucker up to blow, and then put it back down for yet another item. You can practically feel the anguish roll off the screen.

To make matters even worse, Hadley's death at the hands of irony makes this one of the most tragic stories of our time, not felt since the likes of Shakespeare. Only on the cusp of death do Hadley's dreams finally come to pass, as his most wished-for creature, the Merman, appears before him like some twisted angel of the afterlife. As Hadley lays helpless, his last words are spoken, "Oh, come on", as he laments his bittersweet fate.

It's a true dramatic tale of horror & woe that will absolutely stand the test of time.
