Review For The Cabin in the Woods
One of the best movies of 2012 so far, in any genre. Tom Charity-CNN.com By 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. Peter Hartlaub-San Francisco Chronicle And you thought you were just headed for a weekend getaway. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post A horror movie embedded in a conspiracy flick embedded in another horror movie-the most inventive cabin-in-the-woods picture since The Evil Dead and the canniest genre deconstruction since Scream. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic The climactic one-two punch of special-effects chaos and meta-movie chin stroking should have the fanboys trembling with delight. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader "The Cabin in the Woods" gets at the story underneath the story, and the reason behind the clichés. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The Cabin in the Woods manages to throw the horror and comedy genres into a blender, and the result is a delicious product that's ridiculously fun and warrants watching at least once. Gregg Katzman-UGO The best movie of the year so far. Ali Gray-TheShiznit.co.uk Would you like your head thoroughly messed with? Then check straight into The Cabin in the Woods. Anthony Quinn-Independent The pleasure in The Cabin in the Woods comes from its audacious tuggings-away of the dramatic rug under your feet. Jonathan Romney-Independent One hottie, one cutie, one stoner, one jock and one intellectual go to a remote cabin in the woods. If this sounds like a setup for a joke, well, it kind of is. John Serba-Flint Journal Taking a leaf out of Scream director Wes Craven's book, Joss Whedon both uses and skewers horror film clichés for this enjoyable tongue-in-cheek slasher. Andy Lea-Daily Star The 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. W. Scott Poole-PopMatters A fiendishly clever genre Rubik's Cube that demonstrates, if nothing else, how much Fangoria fare benefits from the wicked wit of a real writer. A.A. Dowd-Time Out Chicago Like Scream before it, the film is a simultaneous dissection and celebration of all the tropes to which it pays homage, while also managing to be a superb example of the genre in its own right. Dan Kaufman-Paste Magazine The Cabin in the Woods is a quick-witted, mind-bending fright fest. A truly rare and original horror film. Justin Craig-FoxNews.com In 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. Noah Lee-Film Threat The result is a film that might be too smart for its own good, a piece of meta-fiction that's all meta. The Cabin in the Woods isn't trying to scare us as much as it's trying to enlighten us about being scared, then settles for amusing us about it. Jay Stone-Canada.com It's not often you can really get a new twist in genre, but this horror movie actually managed to rewrite its own rules thanks to an underlying nihilist sensibility and a fearless approach to formula. Katherine Monk-Montreal Gazette Whedon's and Goddard's screenplay reads like both a love letter to horror movies and a good-natured treatise on what's wrong with them. Mark H. Harris-About.com While this film is not for everyone -- those who like their slasher film cliches without irony shouldn't bother -- anyone who likes brains to go with their blood are bound to appreciate what Whedon and Goddard have conjured. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade Whedon refuses to keep the clichés entirely intact. In keeping with the overall theme, nothing is entirely what it seems, and nobody is entirely who they seem. Joe Gross-Austin American-Statesman The Cabin in the Woods is a fiendishly clever, constantly imaginative horror thriller that keeps springing new surprises on the audience right up until the end credits. Jack Rodgers-TV Guide's Movie Guide It's all great fun until the ending, which feels a little too safe, simple and silly to what had otherwise been an enjoyably twisted horror film.
