Viewing Notes

I liked Cabin in the Woods a lot; it was a sly, fun ride from the get-go. It knows to not take itself too seriously and does an admirable job of balancing the time tested tropes of the horror genre with the self-mocking portions.

It’s hard to write much about Cabin without giving the whole thing away, so I won’t. But I will say that it probably gets a little too sly for some, crossing the line from wittiness to farce.
