Cabin in the Woods – Not The Best Meta Horror Ever (Spoilers)

Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! I was excited for this movie in the weeks leading up to its release. I mean really really excited. I gorged myself on any preview I could find online that did not spoil the movie at all. These only helped to fuel my excitement as I braced myself to watch the Meta Horror to beat all Meta Horrors.

Going back and watching them again they were very clever especially Scream 2 which goes further by with the ‘Stab’ movies that have been created on the back of the killings in Scream 1. Wes Cravens knowledge and respect of the horror genre is paramount a...

Neve Campell. What, there was something else in that movie?
No, okay, honestly, it's not a bad thriller/horror combo, as far as these things go.
