  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Seeing Richard Jenkins yell " Fuck You" to a screen filled with 9 year old Japanese school girls is extremely funny to me. This is the most fun I've had watching a film this year.

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  What this film WILL do:
  - Go down in cultdom.
  - Become a fan favourite.
  - Add more fuel to the beast that is the Whedon Machine.
  - Never allow any other horror movie to look at itself in the same way ever again.
  - Hold up on many re-watches.

  What this film WILL NOT do:
  - Be popular with meat-headed horror directors.
  - Grant people with the ability to create better stoner characters.
  - Grant Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford with Best Supporting Actor nominations (although it really should).

  Wow...having thought over The Cabin in the Woods a lot after I saw it first in April, I thought that the re-watch would be full of plot holes. But no.…

  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…

  75/100

  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."
