The Cabin in the Woods: Really enjoyed this one, proper popcorn movie. I thought the 'excuse' for following the typical slasher set-up was inspired. It does a great job of walking the line between giving the viewer what they want/ expect while still twisting enough to keep it feeling fresh and innovative. The best thing about this flick is it shows that you can satirise a genre while still being creative and offering a fresh approach... Pastiche cinema is largely the norm these days and its often an excuse for mediocrity, so its nice to see it done with some style for a change.

SPOILER:


Totally didn't see the cameo from Sigourney Weaver comming, which was awesome & loved the merman death scene...Was one of those scenes you see comming from a mile away but still can't contain your excitment over.

Quality flick, its definatley one I'll be adding to my collection and watching again. :cool:
