Cabin in the Woods (Drew Goddard, USA, 2011): When five college friends arrive at a remote forest vacation cabin, little do they expect the horrors that await them.

"[Scream] deftly mixes irony, self-reference and wry social commentary with chills and blood spills." — Richard Harrington, Washington Post
"[Cabin the the Woods] ranks among one of the most wryly self-aware works of American pop culture entertainment in years." — Eric Kohn, IndieWire
