The poor mans "Truman Show".

Rating: 5/10 (26 December 2012)

For what it is worth, I didn't mind "The Cabin in the Woods", but whoever made it proved incapable of handling the conceit.
The in-joke is fun, but it barely lasts for half an hour or so. It then gets lame, and, consequently, boring.
The direction is substandard; the juxtaposition of the two "realities" is handled in a clumsy fashion.
If this screenplay had been "Scream 2" it would have been genius; a bit of fun that continued on from the first. Instead, a fair bit of someone else's money was wasted on 20% of a good idea. "The Truman Show" is nearly 20 years old and puts this movie to shame. It shouldn't be this way.
5/10. Unless you have missed out on a couple of decades worth of movies, this one is pretty ordinary.
7/10. If you are younger than 30.
