Summary
The Cabin in the Woods is a dark comedy/slasher/sci-fi film by the creators of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. A parody and reimagining of the slasher genre, the film follows a group of college students who head to a forest cabin deep in the woods for a weekend of fun and debauchery. Behind the scenes, however, their evening was orchestrated by a group of scientists that manage a series of supernatural as a means of completing a ritual to appease the dark gods - keeping the world from destruction.
