I concur with Steve. I, too, had expectations and a basic notion, but the experience gleefully surpassed all preconceptions. I is one satisfied motherfucker with “Cabin In The Woods”! That one scene of– Aw, Crap! I also want to gush by recalling a specific moviegoing moment of “I’ve-Always-Wanted-To-See-This” but I also know it’s crucial to not spoil the impact to future viewers. Let’s just say I’ll likely be buying the DVD so I can pause on this one image just to see how many archetypes I can identify.

As for the audience of this movie, I testify that not only Whedon fans will be delighted by the genrebusting laugh-out-loud moments that harken back to the memorable moments of “Buffy” and “Angel.” That livelink to the perfect-record Japanese schoolroom is just one of many moments that are both intrinsically funny and cater to the those steeped in the horror genre tropes. (And, c’mon now, who else’s audience gave a unanimous woohoo at the cameo of The Director?)

But Bryan: don’t think of “Cabin In The Woods” as aping a remake, think of it as a horror *supergroup*!

Pay money to see this in the theaters, kids! It’s worth supporting!

I had a basic idea of what cabin in the woods was about going into it simply from some of the giveaways in the trailer (minor that they were.) It still just totally blew my expectations out of the water. The scope of how truly large the story was and what was at stake was incredibly creative. You just don’t see this type of great storytelling anymore. I hope it’s a trend that catches when it comes to horror comedy.
