I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this film. I was a fan of the Buffy series and expected Joss Whedon to bring an original script and concept. Don't want to give too much away about the surprises and story line but a few of the idea's may remind some fan's about certain Buffy episodes. You'll also see a few appearances from a couple actors from the Buffy series as well as a few appearances from some big name actors who have been in other Joss Whedon related films (Alien Resurrection). I would definitely say this is a horror film worth buying.....especially if you love films that don't have happy endings :)!!!!!!!!!! (you'll get the title of this review if you see the film)

The Cabin in the Woods puts a different spin on teens in peril in the woods trope. Its thrilling, engaging and has an ending not usually seen in movies. It also has humor. Definitely deserves 5 stars.

As a horror and comedy, and horror-comedy fan, I rarely find films that are truly inspired, creative and have the power to engage over and over. But I have to say, "The Cabin in the Woods" does just that--and more. For my time and money, it's one of the best I've seen in a long time. Interesting characters, plot and great acting--particularly from a few, key players. Witty, ironic, subtle and overt; this movie has it all-and if you are a fan of the genre, you will (at least) appreciate what the writers and director were trying to accomplish, and at best, will really enjoy it. There are a ton of great lines, unexpected scenes, and "gotchas". Many people have written their own reviews and interpretations of what this movie is about and "trying to convey"-it just inspires that type of on-going discussion. I would definitely recommend this movie--it is fun, entertaining, thought-provoking and scary---all at the same time.Read full review

Whedon is a fascinating man. I bought this because, even though I had seen it in the theater, I wanted to be able to look at the different ways horror movies are treated in different countries. There are a lot of subtle, tiny moments in any of his works: and that makes them worth re-watching and analyzing. I'm avoiding spoilers because I found it fun to be surprised by the movie: but nothing I can say would spoil how well Whedon plays with expectations and brings out levels of story that astonish me. I recommend this very highly to anyone who likes to think about why people like horror movies, even if that person doesn't like horror movies.
