The Cabin in the Woods

(...)

The next title was the clear favorite of the fest. We weren’t allowed to tweet about it, but I’m allowed to talk about it briefly here… I don’t know why one is okay and the other isn’t, exactly, but we did see Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon’s Cabin in the Woods. I don’t see eye to eye with Herc on many things and Joss Whedon is one of them. I like Firefly, not a fan of just about everything else he’s had a hand in. So, when I say Cabin in the Woods is great I hope that carries a little more weight than it would from your typical Whedon fanboy/girl. I’m sure the film will get overhyped if it isn’t already, but it’s a great (and oddly simple) angle on the horror genre that feels like a real movie (thanks, Drew) while keeping Whedon’s popular wit. Anybody with a passing interest in the horror genre will get a kick out of this horror comedy.
