Cabin in the Woods

The Cabin in the Woods is a 2012 American satirical horror film directed by Drew Goddard in his directorial debut produced by Joss Whedon and written by Whedon and Goddard. The film stars Kristen Connolly Chris Hemsworth Anna Hutchison Fran Kranz and Jesse Williams. Goddard and Whedon having worked together previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel wrote the screenplay in three days describing it as an attempt to revitalize the slasher film genre and as a critical satire on torture porn. The A.V. Club elaborating on this description wrote Where Scream put a postmodern twist on slasher films The Cabin in the Woods takes on the whole genre and twists even harder... The script brings to the fore Whedons love of subverting cliches while embracing them and teasing out their deeper meaning.
