Mini-Review: Cabin in the Woods relies on a sort of hip acknowledgement by the audience of the classic troupes and cliches of the horror genre to realize it's humor and also the few points in which it flips these old standbys on their head. It's neither ridiculous enough nor brilliant enough to truly ascend above the films it satirizes, and as a result the whole thing just comes off as one big smug, masturbatory inside-joke amongst Whedon and his lackies, though I did enjoy the last 20 minutes of the film.
