Review by Jeff Meyers of the Metro Times
Grade: B+

Every so often, a movie comes along that is so self-consciously fanboy-oriented, so relentlessly meta, that if you have an ounce of geekiness in your bones you're going to seriously dig it. In this case, it's "A Cabin in the Woods," a sarcastic nerdy spectacle from Drew Goddard ("Cloverfield"'s writer) and Joss Whedon ("Serenity," "The Avengers").

With a parallel set of narratives to chart its course, this horror movie send-up takes clichéd archetypes and storytelling, then works overtime to subvert, twist and befuddle expectations. It doesn't always work and it's rarely scary, but damn if it isn't entertaining as hell.
