Joss Whedon has done it again with perhaps one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. Cabin in the Woods takes the standard horror movie and turns it on its ear. I've always been a big fan of Whedon since the Buffy days, but been a little disappointed in his work of late. With this movie, he has more than redeemed himself.
Cabin in the Woods is about a group of college kids who visit a cabin in the woods and are terrorized my religious redneck zombies. It sounds pretty standard, but believe me, it's not. From the very beginning, you know that everything is being orchestrated from a control room underground, but you don't know why until the end.
