Leave your thoughts about The Cabin in the Woods.
| Salt Lake City WeeklyScott RenshawDo yourself a favor and go see it. Then, when talking about it with friends who haven't seen it ... shhhhhh. |
| Flicks.co.nzSteve NewallA great one-off idea brilliantly executed. |
| Georgia StraightSteve NewtonThe Cabin in the Woods is crammed with so many twists and turns that the mere thought of reviewing it and ruining the fun for others is scary in and of itself. |
| PopMattersW. Scott PooleThe Cabin in the Woods is a horror movie about horror movies. Except not really. It's a horror movie about what horror movies do for us, about why narratives of horror mean something to us. |
| Film ThreatNoah LeeIn a year that's looking to have a very strong lineup of horror and genre movies, it's very likely that The Cabin in the Woods will come out the king of the hill. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubBy the time the ride is over, director Drew Goddard and co-writers Goddard and Joss Whedon will change course three or four times, nodding and winking but never losing momentum. |
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsCabin is perfectly enjoyable without ever quite feeling like there's anything at stake. |
| The Ooh TrayEd WhitfieldThe first movie in a genre often known for its meathead simplicity, that's nearly undone by the scale of its ambition. |
| AALBC.comKam WilliamsHighly recommended for fright fans interested in a more cerebral brand of bloodletting. |
| MovieCrypt.comKevin A. RansonWhat do you do when a genre has completely played itself out? You reinvent it one last time and let all hell break loose. |
