The Cabin in the Woods
Director: Drew Goddard
I'm not usually one to recommend a horror movie, but every once in a while, they're just too good to pass up. It helps that the script was co-written by Joss Whedon, creator of Firefly and Dollhouse, but really, it's because of the twist. It's not really a twist per se, because, like Dream House before it, the secret is given up in the trailer, but it is at least a newer, more interesting take on the "lost in a dark forest with hill people" horror movie premise we have all come to despise. It makes fun of itself and genre cliches like Scream did, but ten times better, and it gets the viewer asking all the right questions, like, "why is this so much fun to watch?"
