The Cabin In The Woods (2012) Review and Discussion

On the next episode of Booze, Bros, & BS, we head deep into the woods for The Cabin in the Woods — a horror movie that blends equal parts terror, humor, and razor-sharp satire.We talk about the film’s infamous delayed release thanks to MGM’s financial woes, and how Chris Hemsworth’s meteoric rise to stardom in the meantime actually makes the movie more effective — much like Janet Leigh’s casting in Psycho.We dig into the five archetypes that have become staples of the horror genre, how The Cabin in the Woods plays with them, and what the movie is really saying about our appetite for horror. And, of course, we have to ask the biggest question of them all:Who the hell are the Ancient Ones?So grab a cold one, lock the door, and join us at The Cabin in the Woods.Booze, Bros, & BS — Movies, Metal, Mayhem.
