They take the clichéd aspects of every horror film and put it in here, to brilliant use. Both Whedon and Goddard worked on Buffy and Angel, which was a balancing act of genres, so they knew the right tone to get here and they nailed it. It blends a few genres together, the two main ones being horror and comedy and it works perfectly. It's an odd movie to sell, because a lot of it has to be kept secret to make the second half of the movie exciting and fresh. It's been a long time since I've had a lot of fun at the movies and the Cabin in the Woods was a lot of fun. Fans of Buffy and Angel will get a kick out of this, as actors from that universe make their way into this film. The Cabin In The Woods tells you upfront "You think you know the story." but of course you don't. I felt that the trailer gave away a bit too much of the twists and turns one can expect from the film, but at the same time the image of a bird flying into a giant forcefield is what will set this film apart from the generic horror films that hit the theatres today. Trouble is, its never really safe to go to a cabin in the woods is it? To be honest, the less you know about this film, the more awesome it will be. The Cabin in the Woods is a spin on the horror genre from writer's Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, without giving away the spoilerish parts of the plot, I'll simply say that it involves 5 friends who fit the horror movie stereotypes (Jock, Slut, Party-Guy, Nerd, Virgin) who go to a cabin in the woods to party and get away from it all.
