Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's 2011 THE CABIN IN THE WOODS is a postmodern comedy which takes the familiar tropes and conventions of horror movies to unexpected places. Witty, fun and so incredibly meta that it works both as a film in its own right as well as successfully constructing an elaborate metaphor for the relationship between those that produce and those that consume the horror genre, the movie features a pre-Thor fame Chris Hemsworth as one of the doomed teenagers journeying to the titular cabin with Bradley Whitford, Richard Jenkins, Sigourney Weaver and (spoiler alert) gargantuan Eldritch abominations among his tormentors in chief.
While we're being all meta, I'm intrigued to see what the rest of the Bad Dads think about this movie; call it an experiment of sorts as I force them down a path they would not normally have wandered. I wonder what they'll think?
We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com.
Until next time, we remain...
