The Cabin the the Woods

It's zombie horror terrorizing teens in a ritual sacrifice/mad scientists' lab experiment gone wrong. Film makers combine classic horror scares in a tribute to some of your genre favorites and a dark sense of humor for comic relief. It's predictable and it's not because it is two movies in one. In this voyeuristic game of survival, there is the whore, the athlete, the scholar, the fool, and the virgin. Who, if any, will survive? Look for a cameo (?) and some familiar faces (Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford) that you wouldn't expect to see in such a film. If you like blood and gore, poetic justice, and have a wicked sense of humor, you may enjoy this film.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "zombie hunger games" stars out of 4.
