The Cabin in the Woods

2012 · 95 min

A gleefully meta horror-comedy that keeps you off-balance with sudden scares, deadpan lab humour, and a wildly inventive finale.

Tagline: You think you know the story.
Overview: Five friends set out for a weekend at a remote cabin in the woods, expecting nothing more than fun and relaxation. As night falls, they discover that something far more unsettling is at work and that nothing about their getaway is what it seems.
How it feels: Satirical, dark, absurd and tense. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Deception, conspiracy, violence, survival
Content: Strong violence, gore and language. Mild sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
