ANTI Reviews


An entire row of what they call "fanboys" at the screening I attended laughed all the way through the movie, although I failed to see anything remotely amusing.
(Rex Reed, New York Observer)
More than anything else, Cabin feels like the endgame of so-called fanboy culture in the way in which it is first and foremost about itself, interested only in a fundamental adherence to rules of its own devising and fenced off from the world at large.
(Mark Olsen, Village Voice)
Horror cinema subversiveness need not preclude actual horror, a fact that's unfortunately lost on The Cabin in the Woods.
(Nick Schager, House Next Door)
Cabin is so bent on switcherooing the heck out of us that it ends up resembling a TV soap such as Glee.
(Chris Hewitt, St. Paul Pioneer Press)
The only comedy-horror that ever worked was An American Werewolf in London - and it worked because it was about character.
(Antonia Quirke, Financial Times)
