Editors' Picks: Not-So-Scary Movies For Scaredy Cats6 of 17
The Cabin in the Woods | Available for rent on VOD
Plot: Five coeds holed up in a rustic cabin for a party weekend soon find themselves under attack by a series of monsters, killers, deadly traps, and other horrors. If they want to survive the weekend, they must work together to solve the mystery of the cabin in the woods.
Our Take: No matter how many more times he plays Thor, this will always be the first movie I think of when I hear Chris Hemsworth's name. (The motorcycle scene? Come on!) Of all the movies that pay tribute to The Evil Dead saga, The Cabin in the Woods introduces new forms of true terror while it calms nerves with legit comic relief. Fran Kranz, who plays the Shaggy of the crew, deserves an origin story. — Arno
