Formula. Every film has one. Watch enough films and you learn the formulas, perhaps even subconciously; and it can ruin the film for you. It drains a film of tension, it makes a film predictable. And in no other genre is the formula more apparent than in horror.
The Cabin In The Woods (TCITW)has a formula too. It is no different to any other film in that respect. But while your Texas Chainsaw Massacres and your Excorcists and your Last Houses On The Lefts say 2 + 2 = 4, TCITW says, "Yes, it does equal 4 but did you know that this 2 is actually 0.5 plus 2.5 minus 1 and the second 2 is really a shit ton…

This film tries to put its tongue in its cheek so hard it has left a big, gaping hole that should have been filled by a great film.
Let me start off by saying that I actually like Whedon's work. Most of the stuff he's done is quite enjoyable. Here, however, he is at his worst. Every single twist, turn and reveal felt like him screaming at me: 'Hah! Look at how clever I am! I am reinventing the entire genre!'
The problem with Whedon's script is that he has actually written two films. One a rather funny, sometimes hilarious comedy. Two, a boring and generic horror film. Somewhere in between lies the idea of a great film, which is…

A fresh and exciting take on the slasher film genre, The Cabin In The Woods is funny, spoofy and definitely has scary moments. Plus, the high-strung self-awareness makes for a higher level of fun. The witty script also deserves praises too. The acting is fine but I dunno what to feel about Sigourney Weaver's cameo. The twist ending is hard to swallow too - unless you're a fan of horror cliché parodies.

Yeah, ok, whatever, this is shaky territory in the sense that its stuck-up "creativity" doesn't necessarily conform with the sincere trash of the films it is parodying, and it's also 20 years late, but goddammit, there is *nothing* funnier than Richard Jenkins in this movie. Except for Richard Jenkins in Step Brothers.
4 stars for Richard Jenkins. And for this line: "It was the pioneer days; people had to make their own interrogation rooms."

after countless rewatches i have finally settled on the fact that this film is Not Good and that’s okay

Watching this after seeing Bad Times at the El Royale. A light spoiler for that I guess.... but Drew Goddard really loves one way mirrors huh?
