‘Cabin’ fever

Lost writer-producer and Cloverfield writer Drew Goddard makes his directorial feature film debut this Friday with the rural creeper The Cabin in the Woods. When five friends arrive at a remote house for some R&R, they get more than they bargained for and find themselves part of a demented experiment. Thor star Chris Hemsworth leads the young cast, and grade-A character actors Richard Jenkins and Bradley Witford class things up a bit for this high-tech thriller. Amy Acker and Anna Hutchison co-star. Rated R. (Image by Diyah Pera)
