SYNOPSIS/PLOT

Five teenagers head off for a weekend at a secluded cabin in the woods. They arrive to find they are quite isolated with no means of communicating with the outside world. When the cellar door flings itself open, they of course go down to investigate. They find an odd assortment of relics and curios but when one of the women, Dana, reads from a book she awakens a family of deadly zombie killers. There's far more going on however than meets the eye as the five campers are all under observation.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"'The Cabin in the Woods' does have some genuine scares, but they're not really the point. This is like a final exam for fanboys (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"Not since Scream has a horror movie subverted the expectations that accompany the genre to such wicked effect as 'The Cabin in the Woods'" (Peter Debruge: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"However smart and sophisticated this film is, it may disappoint those who, in their hearts, would still like to be genuinely scared (...) Rating: *** (out of five)" (Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian)

----------------------------------------
"Can you laugh and shriek at the same time? Yeah, baby. Scream proved that back in 1996. But Cabin goes deeper (...) Every cliché Cabin pitches is likely to come back and bite you in the ass (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)
----------------------------------------
"The laughs come easily, the screams not so much. It's as if the filmmakers got so wrapped up in the satire they forgot to include the intense sensation of rising dread that creates all the thrills and chills that are part of the attraction" (Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times)
