- CABIN IN THE WOODS
Total Film caught up with Joss Whedon recently to talk about
The Cabin In The Woods, the genre-hacking, invention-spewing horror that he
produced and co-wrote.

“It’s basically a very loving hate letter,” he said.
“On some level it was completely a lark, me and Drew
[Goddard, director] trying to figure out what the most fun we could have would
be. On another level it’s a serious critique of what we love and what we don’t
about horror movies.”
On his own genre passion, he added, “I love being scared. I
love that mixture of thrill, of horror, that objectification/identification
thing of wanting definitely for the people to be alright but at the same time
hoping they’ll go somewhere dark and face something awful.”
And on the things he hates about lame horror, Whedon said:
“The things that I don’t like are kids acting like idiots, the devolution of
the horror movie into torture porn and into a long series of sadistic
comeuppances. Drew and I both felt that the pendulum had sung a little too far
in that direction.”
The Cabin In The Woods opens on 13 April 2012.
