The Cabin in the Woods (2011)

Five teens head off for a weekend respite in the woods.  We know from the group's gas station visit and the rude dude who manned it that there is nothing close to the cabin.  No other humans.  No other living structures.

When you rent the tape you think it's going to be another teen slasher flick and it is.  It's kind of boring, for that fact.

However, The Cabin in the Woods put an old spin on a worn concept.  In the end, we find out that the reason the five teens are being offed is to appease ancient gods who will start residing above the ground if they don't get their sacrifices.

Meh.  I want that 95 minutes back!
