The Cabin in the Woods - 9/10
I'm so glad I distanced myself from this. The least you know the better. I really can't name many horror movies where not only am I scared and like the quality, but actually have a fun time and not just feel dread. This just delivers on all fronts. Scares and humor wrapped so well together it just seems like a unique experience. It's one of those ideas where I wish I thought of. It's an ingenious idea. It also oozes of Joss Whedon dialogue and humor. I just loved how it took the horror genre and flipped it on its head. And I mean that in the most extreme sense. It was just constantly mystifying. With each question, there is a surprising payoff. In ways you can't imagine. By the third act I just didn't know what was going to happen. It's so ****ing crazy that you can't help but keep guessing or hoping that one thing or another might happen. For a movie to do this, a horror movie of all things, and if it can entertain me all at once, then this is a great movie. Now dammit, how long do I have to wait for a horror movie to be this good again?
