Synopsis: Co-written by Joss Whedon (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” Marvel’s The Avengers) and Drew Goddard (Cloverfield), The Cabin in the Woods stars Chris Hemsworth as a young professional who visits a quaint cabin in the woods with a group of friends and ends up scratching the surface of something so massive and horrific that they can only begin to fathom it as time quickly runs out.
Produced by Whedon and directed by Goddard, the film is said to be wildly imaginative and intensely horrific, toying with every convention of its genre while at the same time raising the stakes exponentially.
