The Cabin in the Woods
When spending time at a cabin in the woods it's important to remember the essentials: beers, babes and bone cutters.
Unfortunately, the co-eds in this horror-comedy only brought 2 of the 3 basics with them, so there'll be plenty of gangrene.
Dana (Kristen Connolly) and her friends (Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams) decide to stay at a shack in the sticks owned by a distant relative.
After settling in, the group uncovers a stash of scripture in the cellar that, when read aloud, brings the dead to life.
While carnage ensues above, beneath the cottage is a clandestine control centre, where loquacious technicians (Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford) manipulate the group's emotions.
An abnormal fabrication of screams and laughs, Cabin in the Woods infuses sci-fi with the slasher genre and toys with its archetypes.
However, the scariest thing about a cabin in the woods remains: no Internet. (Green Light)
