SXSW '12 Review: 'The Cabin In The Woods' Is A Smart, Witty Blast For Genre Fans
Almost no genre (bar perhaps the romantic-comedy) revolves around formula as heavily as the horror film. Obviously there are sub-categories: the haunted-house film, the zombie flick, the vampire movie. But a disproportionate amount of the involves a group of horny teens going to a remote location, t...
