An intentionally generic title for one of the most creative and brilliantly non-generic films of the genre, Joss Whedon's standout supernatural horror will satisfy the nostalgic yearnings of anyone who misses the "Jossverse," as well as drawing in those who have yet to discover it.

An all out romp through crazyland, The Cabin in the Woods is, in true Joss fashion, both disturbing and humorous in equal measure. Those familiar with Whedon's work will appreciate the usual ensemble of quirky, atypical characters that defy stereotypes, accompanied by the clever, snarky banter that we've all come to expect. Former fans of Angel will particularly enjoy the obvious Wolfram and Hart feel of the company behind the curtain, whose employees alternate between being ultra professional about the demons they worship to hilariously callous about their macabre jobs.

I went into this film knowing nothing about it and that's probably the best approach. Trying to sum up the sheer imagination packed into this work of horrifying art simply wouldn't do it justice. Rest assured, it's a unique experience that will likely have you glued to your seat and entertained the whole way through. As can often be said about Joss's work, there's really nothing else like it out there. And, as a good friend of mine so eloquently put it, the last twenty minutes are simply "a clusterfuck of awesome that is not to be missed." So do yourself a favor and do not skip this one.
