Gizmodo Review: The Cabin in the Woods
The Cabin in the Woods is a miracle. A singular story packed with biblical stakes, dense mythology, surprises, excitement, and most importantly, little to no room for any type of follow-up, all in one 95-minute package. Released just 10 years ago today, it almost qualifies as a relic from a forgotten age which is one of the many reasons why The Cabin in the Woods still works so well, despite that unfortunate black mark it now carries.
Tilt Review: The Cabin in the Woods Through its Ten Greatest Monsters
In a brilliant twist on the genre, The Cabin in the Woods, gradually reveals that the hapless victims of a zombie onslaught are merely pawns in a mechanised ritual. They are sacrifices made to appease ancient Gods. While it is a clever critique of the often-formulaic rules of horror, such as typical character archetypes and dumb decisions, the film also still shows a deep love for the genre. The sheer variety of monster designs and effects that are shown off in the final ten minutes is staggering.

GameRant Review: Why Firefly Has One of TV’s Best Opening Episodes
A good opening is the key to hooking audiences into any story. The first few frames of a movie, the prologue of a novel, the first episode of a TV series – they all serve the same purpose: to get the audience interested. Firefly, the single-season sci-fi saga whose cancellation fans still mourn today, executed this perfectly (or at least it would have, had the network aired the episodes in the correct order). The show’s pilot episode introduced characters, concepts, factions, settings, allies, enemies and more – all through the ancient writing tenet of “show don’t tell.”

Screen Rant Review: Cabin in the Woods
Despite releasing over a decade ago, the depth of The Cabin in the Woods’ horror satire and ending is still drawing discussion. Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon’s The Cabin in the Woods bends the horror genre n away that’s rarely done well, introducing subtle but persistent satirical subtext into what seems on the surface to be a relatively simplistic slasher. The film’s use of satire is ultimately what separates The Cabin in the Woods from its more self-serious contemporaries, securing the film a lasting legacy alongside the likes of Scream and The Evil Dead.
