Cabin in the Woods (2011)

Don't go into the woods

A group of friends go off for a weekend in the woods.  The cabin they're staying in seems a bit creepy, but the group chooses to make the most of it.  Then the zombies come.  The rest, could be fairly predictable, even cliche, if not for Joss Whedon doing a bit of reconstruction on the horror genre.  This is one of those great genre films that manages to pay tribute to the genre while exceeding it at the same time.  I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

Cabin in the Woods scares up 4 out of 5 Poblanos!
