"The Cabin In The Woods (Goddard, 2012)"


  

          

YES.

There's literally nothing I can say without spoiling the fun or the surprise. All I will say is this will be on many people's best-of-2012 list. As fun and creative a horror film as I've seen in... well, in memory. Never gets too tongue-in-cheek but never loses sight of its satire. Certain well-known actors in top form (DON'T YOU DARE GO TO IMDB AND RUIN THE SURPRISE).

So many things I want to discuss but won't. SEE NO TRAILERS. READ NO ARTICLES. JUST GO SEE IT WHEN IT COMES OUT, DUMMIES. The joy of this film will be in the discovery.

This is true:
Apr 16th 2012

Agreed. It's far less scary core material than Scream.
Apr 16th 2012

right.
Apr 16th 2012
56
Was 'Scream' actually a scary movie though...
Apr 17th 2012
