One of the greatest creations ever, you're not wrong.I'm working my way through The Thick of it. Hoping it's not wrong to have the massive horn for Malcom Tucker
It's not.
Cabin in the WoodsGood old fashioned nonsense horror
I screamed when I read your comment.
Yes, it goes through every old-fashioned horror motif and takes the piss/econstructs them. ts old-fashioned wih a modern shiny surface (and bloody good with it)
Why ?
It's certainly not a regular horror film, but a parody of conventions in horror films of the last three decades. It starts out as a by the numbers slasher film and by the end it's closer to something like Charlie Kaufman/Spike Jonze's Adaptation for horror geeks.

It was my piss poor Kevin Williamson pun. Hence the original
As I said before on another thread, Germans aren't that good with puns.
Where Scream only talks about it, The Cabin in the Wood shows. In Scream the characters are aware of horror film conventions, but it still proceeds along the lines of a conventional slasher film. With The Cabin in the Woods the film itself is self aware and it contantly shifts and changes.
As a horror fan I absolutely loved it. Its still the most fun I had at the pictures this year.
