Genre conventions are turned on their head in this meta-horror written by geek God Joss Whedon (The Avengers)... More

Five college friend cliches (the jock, the hottie, the pot-smoking conspiracy theorist etc) stay in a remote cabin in the woods when ghostly and murderous events begin to unfold. Stars Anna Hutchison (Go Girls) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor) alongside Oscar-nominated Richard Jenkins (The Visitor) and Bradley Whitford from The West Wing.

      Ed-Flicks: Has it been picked up by any distributor yet? I understand it doesn't have a release date yet, but something must be moving...

    • Mapother

      seen it, hella funny, if you go to it not expecting a 'Horror' you'll enjoy it more. Lot of classic references

      This is going direct-to-DVD here and in Australia, according to comments today on Twitter.

    • Petition

      Everyone search 'Give Cabin in the Woods a Theatrical Release in Australia and New Zealand' on Facebook and like and share!

    • footthunderer

      Overseas reports on this film align it with Attack the Block- Massive!!

    • Amanda

      Theatrical release in Sydney and Melbourne but no word on the status of release in New Zealand... Why should we miss out?!

    • Craig

      Playing at the NZIFF in July as part of Incredibly Strange! Will be playing Civic in Auckland and the Embassy in Wellington!

    • Outlawish

      Caught a screening in Australia last week... the best horror film in years THIS NEEDS A CINEMA RELEASE

    • Frostyboy

      It is criminal that this does not get a release, yet the last few Adam Sandler absolute crap-fests go wide.

    • Izzy

Being on information lockdown for the past two years or however long it’s been really paid off here – as did seeing The Cabin in the Woods in the Civic. Hilarious and engrossing, I can’t imagine any horror fan not loving the film, and Joss Whedon pulls the same trick he did with The Avengers in putting so much winning personality on the big screen that even people only vaguely familiar with the genre will be won over. A great one-off idea brilliantly executed.

Wow!

Josh_Haigh-Ward B-Grader (?)

No Spoilers. This movie completely succeeded by expectations. One of the most original and entertaining horror movies i have ever seen!!! Acting writing directing is all fantastic and i highly recommend this to anyone who is waiting for a good horror movie. A superb directorial debut from Drew Goddard. I wont say too much on the movie because i do not want to give anything away. Just go see it for yourself!
Also dont believe any of the bad reviews you read, they are WRONG! They are written by people who think by giving a movie that has gathered universal acclaim and praise, a negative review makes them superior to the general population. I have not read one convincing negative review (though i do not waste my time looking for them.)
Do yourself a favour and do not research the movie before you go see it because you are in for a suprise!

Joss should make more like this...

A cleverly twisted horror movie that doesn't need to be terrifying to be good. Does a similar thing to the horror genre as 'Scream' did back in the 90s. Surprises me how this movie wasn't made 20 years ago - totally original.
