Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin, where they get more than they bargained for, discovering the truth behind the cabin in the woods. (R, 95 min.)

When five college friends (Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams) arrive at a remote forest cabin for a little vacation, little do they expect the horrors that await them. One by one, the youths fall victim to backwoods zombies, but there is another factor at play. Two scientists (Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford) are manipulating the ghoulish goings-on, but even as the body count rises, there is yet more at work than meets the eye. [Rotten Tomatoes]

Genre(s): Horror, Mystery, Thriller
"Ranks among one of the most wryly self-aware works of American pop culture entertainment in years."
— Eric Kohn, indieWire
"A super-entertaining, super-slick love/hate letter to horror with a final 20 minutes that's stunningly bonkers."
— Jamie Graham, Total Film
"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
"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
"It sounds like the oldest horror story in the book but from the first scene of The Cabin in the Woods it's clear that the director, Drew Goddard, and his co-writer, Joss Whedon, are bent on turning the formula upside down."
— Jake Wilson, Sydney Morning Herald
"Not since 'Scream' has a horror movie subverted the expectations that accompany the genre to such wicked effect as The Cabin in the Woods, a sly, self-conscious twist on one of slasher films' ugliest stepchildren: the coed campsite massacre."
— Peter Debruge, Variety
"A horror-movie attic sale is, in essence, exactly what Cabin in the Woods is, an attempt to exorcise the genre of its formulaic possession by stuffing the movie full of its most overused and predictable elements - and then dumping them through clever skewering."
— Ian Buckwalter, NPR
