April Anticipation: Cabin in the Woods

Cabin in the Woods (April 13) has been sitting on the MGM shelf for three years. This delay might have helped the film. Chris Hemsworth is a star and Joss Whedon is on The Avengers Express headed straight towards Money Land.

I know nothing about this film. I watched the trailer a while back and decided to turn it off due to spoilers. The buzz surrounding this film is incredibly positive (95% Rotten Tomatoes) and the word on the street is that is spins the horror genre upside down. The R rating is proof that the movie won’t back and intends to deliver the thrills. I don’t want to spoil it by reading a review or watching a three-minute trailer.

There is nothing better in the cinema world than watching a great film you know nothing about. I watched movies like Bubba Ho-Tep, Elephant, Take Shelter, Murderball and District 9 without any spoilers or pesky previews. What followed were fresh experiences that were not spoiled by too much information.

I do love these posters that were released. They give away nothing and show this movie won’t stick to the horror blueprint. Also, check out the original release dates.
