90% The Cabin in the Woods

Poor Drew Goddard. He can't seem to avoid being overshadowed on his projects. 2008's Cloverfield marked his debut (as a writer), but all the attention went to JJ Abrams, and even though he both directs and co-writes "The Cabin in the Woods", it seems Joss Whedon is poised to take a lot of the credit Goddard deserves. In any case, this film easily puts him on the radar as major talent, if Cloverfield hadn't already convinced the world (it convinced me...) "Cabin" is definitely one of the most creative movies I've seen in a long, long time, and I'm fully expecting it to be the zaniest movie I see this year (though I'd love to be proved wrong by something else). As one would expect from a Whedon script, the dialogue is witty and the comedic timing (so important to this particular film) is spot-on. The performances of the mostly unknown cast of teenagers are as cheesy as they should be, but most of it is thankfully intentional, and Fran Kranz is a standout as the cliche stoner dude, who would probably make for a perfect Shaggy in any future Scooby Doo projects.If Raimi's Evil Dead movies were a somewhat tongue-and-cheek take on horror, then Cabin takes it about 10 steps forward, becoming a full-on satire that still packs some scares. But don't go for the horror - go to have your mind blown by the sheer inventiveness, and for God's sake don't read anything else about the plot before you watch it! Let's just hope Goddard jumps back on the Cloverfield train next.
