As time lumbers on, they find themselves subjected to a series of happenings ranging from the vaguely strange to the patently absurd, challenged to remain sane as that precious state of mind becomes harder and harder to maintain by the minute.<p> <table border=1 class="sortable bordered" id="sort_actors"> <tr><th><b>Name</b></th><th><b>Occupation</b></th><th><b>Birth</b></th><th>Death</b></th><th><b>Known for</b></th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/857/000109530/"><font size=-1>Amy Acker</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>5-Dec-1976</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Fred on <i>Angel</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/750/000272931/"><font size=-1>Jodelle Ferland</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>9-Oct-1994</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Tideland</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/358/000273536/"><font size=-1>Chris Hemsworth</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>11-Aug-1983</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>The Mighty Thor</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/044/000130651/"><font size=-1>Richard Jenkins</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>2-Dec-1953</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Six Feet Under</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/792/000022726/"><font size=-1>Sigourney Weaver</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>8-Oct-1949</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Alien</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/852/000160372/"><font size=-1>Brian J.

It's almost exactly the same approach as was used by Galaxy Quest -- a commentary on the soft sci-fi genre, yet at the same time reveling in it and never condescending toward the viewer. A die-hard horror buff might not enjoy this movie, for the same reason that a dedicated science fiction fan might be unimpressed with Galaxy Quest. But for the rest of us, The Cabin in the Woods succeeds as a horror movie while simultaneously deconstructing its milieu. Great fun. <p> <hr width=15% align=left><p><table><tr><td><img src="/rarrow.gif"></td><td>Have you seen this film?
