The Cabin in the Woods is an awesome movie currently available on Netflix. It's basically a story about five friends who go for a vacation in a cabin and then all types of creepy things happen. Except there is a lot more to it. It is not your typical horror film in any way, shape, or form.

However, like many bloggers I really don't want to ruin this movie. Suffice it to say there is a whole other running plot line that is taking place as you are watching whats going on at the cabin. And, it is that other plot-line that makes the movie so interesting.

I'm not a huge horror film guy so I totally missed the many references that this film had to the horror film genre. If your not an expert you would totally miss about half the stuff that is going on in this movie - yet you would still enjoy it. If you want to see more on all the hidden messages in the film, check out this great video.

The movie has an awesome cast as well. There is the guy who plays Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Bradley Whitford (from The West Wing), and Jesse Williams from Grey's Anatomy (Dr. Avery) along with some other great actors.
