 As it would turn out Cabin in the Woods was finished it was just sitting there, waiting. This amazed me as here you have a product, a built-in audience  with the right release date, a profitable weekend. Once I learned that The Hobbit and the next Bond film were also having issues (at MGM I knew this little horror movie wasnt going to see a darkened theater any time soon.

Let us now jump to the summer of  It should better be known as the summer when Joss Whedons existence reached further than his Whedonites. It was what would become a one-two punch with Whedons Cabin in the Woods being the first Whedon project to land big with audiences in the spring summer of The payoff punch was The Avengers.

I was skeptic when I saw the original trailer for Cabin in the Woods It did look just like every other horror movie I had seen before with the same moniker The film being long delayed was one hook for me. I wanted to see what all the hubbub was about The other hook was Whedon. Those trailers for The Avengers looked promising. Being a fan of Firefly I knew he could tell a story with a group of people. I am not a Whedonite per se but I respected the man enough to see his little horror flick.

After I walked out of the theater, I wanted the Blu-ray more than anything. I wanted to freeze frame and zoom in like never before. There was just so much to see, analyze, and discuss. Here was a film that embraced the genre, yet spun a tale that was completely new. There are not many films that I cannot wait to watch the special features of, but this was definitely one of them.The complete first season of Homeland
