The Cabin in the Woods is the epitome of meta cinema. The movie itself contains three separate layers, 4th walls within 4th walls, and once you understand the metaphor, even deeper layers are created. In just the same way that Dollhouse was a commentary on television, this is a commentary on film. Its a lot like Inception, really, but instead of dream architects being sci-fi moviemakers, members of the facility are horror moviemakers.
The point of all this is that The Cabin in the Woods is a brilliant film. Anyone who loves movies must see it, especially if youre a horror buff. In fact, Im gonna go see it again right now.
