The Cabin in the Woods (2011)


Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin, where they get more than they bargained for, discovering the truth behind the cabin in the woods.

Tongue-in-cheek horror flick cleverly ups the antes onto ever new meta-levels  and is filled to the brim with genre allusions; fun for fans, but a bit over-the-top.

Maltin**1/2: "...script is aimed at the hearts of fanboys everywhere, adding at least two extra levels of surprises. Amusing and intelligent, but the cleverness works against the horror, the horror against the humor."
