Damn funny, original, anti-cliché, but not really scary.

Rating: 7/10 (17 June 2012)

The Cabin In the Woods is a truly humorous movie. Besides, it has so many moments of surprise, but it hardly would frighten you through the whole 135 minutes of movie length. It is creative, because except a few times, it won't give you a single clue of what could happen next, and that is what makes it enjoyable to watch from beginning till the end. Even the ending doesn't follow any Hollywood-sort of clichés that one may expect (which some could find boring and disappointing)
Visual effect are just great and in-context. Monsters are funny which serves the line of humor running throughout the movie. The only weak point is probably the main actors' acting . They are not bad, but it feels like that they don't put so much effort in bringing the best out of their characters. I doubt if this was a screenplay problem as Josh Whedon's characters are usually very well defined and understood by audience; something that does not happen here (except for the secondary characters).
In conclusion, The Cabin In the Wood is a very entertaining movie that is worth to watch, if you're not looking for something to really get scared with, and it's a good movie to own, as its originality gives you the option of bragging for your friend: "I have a funny horror movie, do you wanna watch?"
