The Cabin in the Woods: Difference between revisions

'''''The Cabin in the Woods''''', a 2012 horror movie, sets itself apart from other horror movies by virtue of its co-writers ([[Joss Whedon]] and ''[[Cloverfield]]'' writer Drew Goddard, who also directed this film) -- and by deconstructing both the cabin in the woods setting and horror movies in general. The film stars [[Thor (film)|Chris Hemsworth]], [[Dollhouse|Fran Kranz]], Kristen Connolly, [[Power Rangers Jungle Fury|Anna Hutchison]], Jesse Williams, [[Amy Acker]], Richard Jenkins and [[The West Wing|Bradley Whitford]].

 

 

As a note: we can't really get into the tropes without '''''spoiling damn near the entire film'''''. We've tagged spoilers as normally as possible, but honestly, reading past this paragraph ''will'' blow most of the movie's surprise, since we can only preserve the real punch of the film with an entire page of white. (We placed ''really'' spoileriffic tropes in their own special section, just in case.) Anyone who wants to see the movie fresh should go watch the movie first instead of reading about it here.

* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: When Jules and Curt go off to fool around in the forest, {{spoiler|the control room is packed to capacity with male staffers, all of whom (save Truman) are grinning ear to ear and eager to see some action}}. They only leave (with plenty of "Awww"s of disappointment) when Hadley shoos them out of the room.
