We’re watching this.
It opens today. No idea what it’s about but it has the Joss Whedon imprimatur and it stars Chris Hemsworth. Sold!
* * * * *
1. That IS Chris Hemsworth’s real voice, not a remix. Yet another reason to giggle uncontrollably whenever he’s onscreen.
2. We hereby declare this Chris Hemsworth Week, which we shall celebrate with alternate viewings of Avengers and Cabin.
3. It’s a horror movie, but much more than that. Where there’s Whedon there’s irony. Director Drew Goddard references nearly every horror flick ever made and futzes with the tropes. You want monsters? Here be monsters.
4. Smart, disturbing, unpredictable entertainment. Not for the squeamish. With a cameo that brought us great joy—we’re still deciding whether this or the cameo in the 21 Jump Street movie is The cameo of the year.
5. You know how every season of Buffy ended with an apocalypse that Buffy and the Scoobies had to avert? (If your answer is No, you may stop right here.) Think of Cabin in the Woods as a Buffy the Vampire Slayer season-ender in which Buffy decides that she’s suffered, sacrificed, and saved humanity enough times and maybe it’s the post-humans’ turn.
6. Plenty of cuts though, or the projectionist was spastic.
Chrisses or Chri?

The Japanese schoolgirls exorcising the evil spirit on their own without any adult supervision at all was hilarious.
Too many cuts though, you’re right. I thought the projectionist was just speeding things up to get it over and done with, because The Avengers was up next. (Cabin and the Avengers were sharing Cinema 3.)
