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…

not to ruffle any feathers but this movie sucks alot of shit and its now banned by the censorship board in my head. if u watch this starting today you will be fined $500 payable to me and if you dont pay me im telling my mom and she'll tell your mom and you're gonna get SO grounded. that's obviously not true you're not gonna get grounded for liking cabin in the woods even tho its a shitty movie. like what u like, even if its a shitty movie that shouldnt exist! just like... whoever made this rly hates horror movies and thinks horror fans are idiots, imo. i mean a lot of horror fans are idiots, but that's because…

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."

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…

Holds up so well on re-watches, I'm still noticing little references and clever details that I haven't spotted before after several viewings. One of my favourite horror films.

Subverts the norm to a certain extent but is no where near as profound as it tries to be.
I always say that it’s better to shoot for the moon and touch up a cloud than to shoot at all. And to be fair, they shot.
Wheedon and Goddard wrote the script in 3 days. It’s evident. -
This was written by Joss Whedon, the man behind Firefly and Dollhouse and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and others. It's fun and satirical and bloody and it's better if you know as little as possible about the plot. One thread does involve a group of college kids who head to a cabin in the woods for a weekend and meet an ominous gas station owner and then they decide to explore the cellar... but it's waaay smarter than that, and explains why that basic plot seems to keep repeating.

ok not to be dramatic, but this movie is a masterpiece. chris hemsworth’s best performance. that scene where the chick makes out with the wolf head? legendary. wig? gone. sigourney weaver only in the last five minutes of your movie? ballsy.

decent. the concept and writing were good for a decade ago, but as always, i wanted more. can’t say i didn’t love the twist that they saved each other and killed the entire human race though.

i’ll be completely honest… scary movies are usually not my thing. although i’ve grown to appreciate the genre in recent years, it’s very rare that i come across a horror movie that i actually really, really like. but after watching so many scary movies before finally seeing Cabin in the Woods, i believe that made me love and appreciate this movie just that much more.
Cabin in the Woods is a unique film that pokes fun at the horror genre. it makes fun of the character archetypes and storyline clichés that are often used in these types of movies in both hilarious but terrifying ways. as a friend told me after recommending this film to me, it’s almost like a…
