Synopsis

In this twisted thriller from Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, five friends arrive at a secluded cabin with clear instructions for their anticipated mountain getaway. But when the rigid rules are broken, punishment is swift — and everyone will pay. Kristen Connolly, Jesse Williams, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Chris Hemsworth and Brian J. White star with Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford in this surprising spin on a classic horror setup.

No fun. A pastiche without rhyme. One star...

That was a really fun watch. An imaginative Sci-Fi/Horror satire made by people who clearly love the Horror genre, it manages to be self-aware without becoming annoying (yes Scream, I'm looking at you) and giving a logic sense to the "self-awareness". Overall a really entertaining and somewhat interesting movie. Ah, and Bradley Whitford is great as always (well, he literally plays his "Studio 60" character here).

I was impressed most by M.Evan's My little eye (2002), because of the very different critical meanings.. interesting but not over.

All in good fun, but this is a little inside baseball for me.

Probably the most fun I have had at the movies since . . . I don’t know when, Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s “The Cabin in the Woods” plays around with all the familiar, clichéd elements of the horror…  read review

It’s best to go into The Cabin in the Woods as oblivious as possible. Yes, I realize reading my two cents may negate this claim, but it’s safe to keep reading, I promise. I don’t aim to reveal…  read review
