Cabin in the Woods - B+ (spoilers)

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Apr 16 '12, 16:52

I'd say it most closely resembles From Dusk Til Dawn in structure, only reversed. FDTD was a horror/comedy disguised as a drama. This was dramedy disguised as a horror film.

From Dusk Til Dawn was also the last time I hear teenagers complain to the screen after a movie that they want their money back.

I think the story, dialogue and structure outpaced the characters, directing and acting a bit too much. It's one of the few times when watching a movie where I've felt like the script is amazing while the movie is not.

All that said, it's gonna have a great cult following.
