The Cabin in the Woods is a fast-paced thriller about a couple of teens on a remote vacation who are brutally massacred by a family of zombie farmers. Sound familiar? That's the charm of "Cabin." As the tagline, "You Think You Know the Story" suggests, there's a bit more to the tale than the standard horror riff. The film uses the classic horror storyline to comment on the genre itself, while still maintaining a compelling and emotionally involving storyline. Like Shaun of the Dead, it tells a self-aware story without ever falling into the realm of parody. It is referential, but not reverential, to all the horror classics.
