Amazingly astounding and funny

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2015)

The premise is very familiar, 5 college friends go into a cabin deep inside the woods for a fun weekend and hell ensues, in this occasion hell REALLY ensues.
Writers Joss Whedon (The Avengers) and Drew Goddard (Netflix's Daredevil) are giving us a completely different take on the genre that I personally didn't see coming. Of course the young people are attacked, dismembered, killed in all cruel ways imaginable but behind it all there is a higher purpose for their death (I am not joking).
It is a nice mixture of horror and a lot of comedy, something Whedon and Goddard are used to since their work on the popular Cult TV Show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I respect the filmmakers for using such a fresh approach to all of this and the result is one of the best movies of the genre I have ever seen.
It might not be scary, it might be campy... but it is so much fun.
