MOVIES: The Cabin in the Woods
You pretty much already have to be a cult horror movie fan to catch all the scary cinema references flying fast and furious in this flick, especially in its SPOILER-ific third act. But this is no winking spoof movie. Writer-producer Joss Whedon — already an ace at cultivating a passionate following — and writer-director Drew Goddard have crafted a genuinely frightening and very funny meditation on the meaning of horror movies. Mix in its trapped-in-MGM-bankruptcy-hell backstory and the standout stoner performance by Fran Kranz (from Whedon's Dollhouse), and this is a horror flick destined to spawn a loyal following of fans eager to return to its crafty, chilling Cabin. —Adam B.
